First, dry the selected superior bamboo poles to five points, split them into bamboo pieces and bundle them into small bundles. Cut the chopped bamboo into small pieces of different sizes with a chainsaw. Put the sawed bamboo chips away, step on them firmly with your feet, then hit the cleaver with a wooden stick, split one end, and break them one by one after splitting.

It is worth noting that the split bamboo strips should be uniform in thickness and size, and the width depends on the size of the skeleton. Usually the skeleton is big, the bamboo strips are wide and the bamboo strips are narrow. With a double-handle scraper, carefully scrape the rough and uneven places such as the inside and edges of small bamboo strips to be smooth and smooth. Pay attention to uniform force when scraping bamboo strips, so that the thickness of bamboo strips is consistent.

Cut a tenon of about 3 cm at both ends of each bamboo strip with a double-handle scraper for installation in the positioning fixture. Put the bamboo bar codes with tenons together, and then drill holes with a 0.2 cm drill. Bamboo pieces like this usually have a small hole in the tenon two centimeters at the top. Thread the perforated bamboo strips together with thin iron wire and fix them. The number of bamboo strips used in the palace lantern frame is determined by the size of the palace lantern.

Spread out the worn bamboo strips evenly, and then clip them into the serrated grooves of the positioning card holder one by one. There is a shallow groove at the upper end of the card holder for placing the iron wire passing through the bamboo sheet. After all fixed, tighten it with iron wire. Each palace lantern has two support rods, and each support rod is a metal product with a spring locating clip at one end. The palace lantern can be unfolded along the support rod and blocked by the spring piece, and the palace lantern cannot be folded at will.

Insert the support rod from the round hole of the positioning card holder into the round hole of the bottom card holder, and then nail it firmly so that its base cannot shake at will. Finally, insert the lamp system into the small hole at the upper end of the support rod and fix it firmly after bending. Expand the palace lantern skeleton along the support rod. Pull down and lift the crooked bamboo strips repeatedly until the shape is basically satisfactory.

Then the gaps between bamboo strips are fixed with thin ropes, which are usually fixed while adjusting. /kloc-two palace lanterns below 0/00 cm can be tied. Palace lanterns over 100 cm should be tied with a string in the middle of the skeleton besides the upper and lower strings. In order to ensure quality. The upper and lower strings should be tied at the top of the bamboo pole of 1/6. Clamp the spring piece inward with pliers to close it.

2. Palace lampshade

Generally, a lampshade consists of 4 or 6 pieces of lampshade cloth. The size of the lampshade cloth is calculated as follows: the maximum width of the cloth is equal to the maximum circumference of the palace lantern divided by the number of pieces of cloth used; The width of both ends of the cloth is equal to the circumference of the upper or lower mouth of the lamp divided by the number of pieces of cloth used; The length of the cloth is the height when the lamp holder is closed.

Draw these calculated sizes on the cardboard and then cut them out to form the cardboard shape of the lampshade cloth. Then put the cardboard shape on the cloth and cut the cloth along the edge of the cardboard with scissors. Sew the cut lampshade with fine stitches of a sewing machine. Slowly cover the sewn lampshade on the skeleton.

Grasp the lampshade with your hands and slowly unfold the skeleton of the palace lantern. Wrap the special lamp ear tightly around the base of the palace lamp, light it with a candle or an oil lamp at the joint, press it by hand while it is hot, and then press it with a golden single-sided adhesive tape.

3. Drying

When the above links are over, it is necessary to bask in the palace lanterns. Palace lanterns are usually hung in ventilated, dry and clean places. Dry slowly. Never force heat to dry it. So as not to cause the palace lantern to break.
