How to make simple handmade lanterns for children in Mid-Autumn Festival?
Need to prepare 12 inch x 12 inch colored paper (one piece can make a lantern), ruler, cutting pad, scissors, art knife, glue, pencil, etc.

1, take out a piece of colored paper, put the color face down, and mark 1.5, 4.5, 6, 7.5 and 10.5 inches horizontally.

2. Then mark vertical lines every 1/2 inches (I usually skip this step and just use the grid on the mat to cut the incision).

3. The top and bottom horizontal lines are 3 inches away from the top and bottom. Cut off the leftmost underlined part between these two lines (pay attention to the red line), and at the same time cut all the other vertical lines between the two lines with a knife.

4. Then fold the distance from the top and bottom 1.5 inch.

5, the red line of grid glue water.

6. Roll it up and paste it to make a cylinder. Make a 1/2 inch cut on the top and bottom edges, which will help fold them up.

7. Fold in the cut parts at the top and bottom. Squeeze up and down at the same time to make a lantern shape.

8. Take out the note cut out in front, fold it in half and open it.

9. Then fold the left and right edges to the middle crease and glue them.

10. Install the handle at half of the inside of the lantern edge.

1 1, a simple and lovely paper lantern is ready.

12. Take out another ribbon and hang it from the handle.
