To decorate lanterns, we can buy some white and red ordinary rice paper or golden rice paper in the stationery store, cut it into the length and width of the lantern skeleton, and then we can design our own patterns. Calligraphy, painting and paper-cutting can all be used on this paper lantern. After pasting, you can also use narrow silk-like paper to wrap the edges up and down, which looks more elegant.

If you are not good at painting and calligraphy, there is a simple method for reference. Use a thin paper to trace the desired words on the copybook, then overlap this thin paper with crimson rice paper and dig out the words with a single-edged blade. Remove the paper towel, and hollow handwriting will appear on the red rice paper. White rice paper is used as the lamp body, and red rice paper is pasted inside, which reflects candlelight or light from the hollowed-out place, and the effect is quite beautiful.

If you put it indoors, light an ordinary candle in the lantern. If you want to realize it, you'd better make a simple circuit with light bulbs and batteries.

Or you can stick fake petals on the outside of the lantern. Buy some white silk flower from the handicraft shop and carefully tear off the petals. Stick a layer of petals on the lantern with hot glue until it covers the whole surface. Then, stick a sequin in the center of each petal with hot glue. Color. There should be multiple vertical seams inside the paper lamp. Decide which two colors you want your lantern to be.

Then, use markers to track the color in each seam. Use this marker to color other areas. Then, use your second marker to color the remaining alternating areas.

The simple shape of a paper lantern is a cube or cylinder. It is best to make a frame with flexible bamboo branches or bamboo skins, and the joints are tied tightly with thin lines. If it is difficult to find, you can also use slender cardboard and bamboo sticks for barbecue, which will lack firmness and elasticity, but it is also a good decoration indoors.
