After hollowing it out, light a candle inside the pumpkin, and it becomes a pumpkin lantern. However, this pumpkin lantern cannot be carried like an ordinary lantern. If you can't find a pumpkin of the right size and color, you can use orange construction paper instead. Similar to the cardboard lantern above, the difference is that you need to make a pattern on the cardboard and then cut the cardboard according to the pattern. 5. Materials required for plastic bottle lanterns: large square plastic bottles or large Coke bottles or salad barrels, markers (the selected color should not be too light, because it is a transparent material, and a color that is too light will not show the color), cotton thread One piece (used to fix lanterns and small light bulb tubes, special light bulb tubes for lanterns, ranging from 15 to 30 yuan. The plastic bottle is heat-resistant, so it is not suitable for candles and can deform), a utility knife, and several colored silk threads. How to make : Cut the upper half (1/3) of the square bottle and cut off the upper part. Then divide each of the four sides of the bottle into four equal parts (divide vertically with a knife), leaving a certain width on the top and bottom of the bottle without cutting. After the four sides are equally divided, you can draw your favorite pattern on the bottle. It is best to choose a large pattern, and then at the end of the cut, press each cut surface with your hands to fix the shape. Then use markers to color it. In order to facilitate the fastening of the handle, you can drill a hole on each side of the reserved part of the bottle and thread it with the prepared cotton thread to fix it. There should also be a hole in the middle of the bottom of the bottle to tie silk threads and other lantern decorations. Finally, put a special lantern bulb tube inside the bottle, and a special lantern is successful. 6. Materials required for the can lantern: cans or milk powder cans, string, candles, iron wire, scissors, watercolor pens Production method: It is relatively easy. Do not move the top and bottom of the can or milk powder can. First, use scissors to cut the main body of the can. Cut part of it into strips, then press it to form the shape of a lantern, and punch two holes in the top of the jar to tie wire as handles. The surface of the jar can be colored according to your own preferences. The simplest is to paint it red, put a candle at the bottom of the jar, and a lantern will become it. If you want to create a hazy effect, you can stick felt paper inside the jar's main body. But children should pay attention. If it is a can or milk powder can, be careful not to scratch your hands.
