1. First of all, you need to prepare the following materials: colored paper or rice paper, which is used to make the main body and decoration of lanterns. A structure in which bamboo poles or sticks are used to support lanterns. Glue or double-sided tape is used to fix paper and bamboo sticks together. Scissors for paper-cutting and bamboo sticks. Pencils and rulers are used to draw the shapes and patterns of lanterns.

2. Paper-cutting: Select a piece of colored paper or rice paper and cut it into a square or rectangle with scissors. Origami: Fold the cut paper in half along the center line to get a long crease. Making the bottom of the lantern: unfold the paper and fold one of the long sides inward to form the bottom of the lantern. Fix it on the bottom bamboo stick with glue or double-sided tape.

4. Pay attention to the use of scissors and other tools in the production process to avoid injury. Pay attention to safety when using glue or double-sided tape, and avoid sticking your hands or clothes. When decorating lanterns, you can design, draw patterns, paste colored paper or use other materials for decoration according to your own preferences.

5, if you don't use bamboo sticks as support, you can also use other materials as support, such as bending wire into a circle as support. After the lanterns are made, they can be hung in appropriate places, such as indoors or outdoors, to present a beautiful festive atmosphere.
