Materials: chopsticks, crepe paper, red rope, double-sided tape, red tassel, decorations.
1, first put four pairs of chopsticks into a square.
2. Then fold three layers of chopsticks and tie the four corners with red ropes. So a base is completed, and another one is made in the same way.
3. Take out a pair of chopsticks, and tie the head and tail ends of chopsticks with two bases with red ropes.
4. In the same way, fix the other three sides with chopsticks, and the skeleton of the lantern will be ready.
5. Cut the crumpled paper to a suitable size, and fold the paper for several layers before cutting, so that it can be cut more neatly.
6. Wrap the cut crepe paper around the skeleton and stick it on the four pillars with double-sided adhesive tape.
7. Tie a red rope to each of the top four corners of the lantern, tie the four ropes together to make a knot, and put on a chopstick to make it.
Matters needing attention in making lanterns
1, material selection: choose materials suitable for making lanterns, such as paper, bamboo and silk cloth. Make sure to use heat-resistant and fireproof materials to ensure the safety of lanterns.
2. Cutting tools: use sharp scissors or knives to cut, so as to ensure smooth and accurate cutting and avoid accidental injuries. Children should operate the cutting tools under the supervision of adults.
3. Design scheme: Before making lanterns, design the style, shape and pattern of lanterns in advance. You can use a pencil or colored pen to outline the required pattern on the paper, so as to make it more accurate.
