1. Prepare homemade lanterns. Handmade DIY materials: twelve lanterns, a stapler, a Chinese knot and a 40 cm long red silk thread. Note: different colors and patterns can be used, but the size of the seal must be the same!
2 All 12 red envelopes are shown in the figure. According to the compromise point of "length" and "width" of the red envelope, all four corners are obliquely folded for standby.
3? Take six folded red envelopes as a group and arrange them as shown above.
4? Put each corner together and fasten the edge of each crease twice with a stapler. Six petal flower pattern
5. Take another group of six red envelopes and repeat the above steps to make two identical six-petal patterns. In this way, the front and back of the lantern are ready!
6, the upper and lower groups are all booked,
Finally, put on a red rope, or hang a Chinese knot to decorate it (if you want to light it, you can put it in a light bulb and make the middle of the red envelope hollow)
If you want bigger lanterns, you can prepare more red envelopes.
