How to make Lantern Festival paper lanterns How to make Lantern Festival paper lanterns

1. Take out a piece of red cardboard, which is slightly larger than other origami, roll the cardboard into a hollow cylinder (cylinder) along the horizontal direction, and stick the joint firmly with a glue stick as the inner column of the lantern. Do it well in advance, put it aside to dry automatically after bonding, and increase the stability of bonding.

2. Take out the origami by hand, don't use too much force, that is, the common origami, and draw the largest circle on this origami.

3. Cut the circle according to the trace with scissors. In order to improve the speed, you can stack several sheets of paper neatly and evenly, and you can cut one more lap at a time. After cutting, fold each circle in half.

4. Glue the half-folded semicircle together with a glue stick, so that all semicircles are connected together, and take out a large origami to smooth it. One side of the large origami is larger than the diameter of the circle obtained in step 3 and smaller than or equal to the height of the inner column in step 1; The other side is equal to the length of the circumference of the lantern's inner column, and the diameter of the semi-circle that has been glued is glued to a larger origami. This step is to make the surface of the lantern, paying attention to leaving gaps and not sticking it too tightly.

5. Stick the prepared lantern surface firmly on the inner column of the lantern.

6. Make the hand strap and tassel ears of lanterns with scraps. The handbag can be repeatedly folded with scraps to a relatively hard degree and pasted on the top of the inner column of the lantern. Be sure to paste it firmly. If you are not at ease, you can use a stapler to fix it.
