Preparation materials: paper cups, double-sided tape, scissors and wool.

1. First cut off the protruding circle on the paper cup with scissors. Then cut the paper cup into strips with uniform thickness. Then trim the top of the paper cup and cut out the small triangle. Turn the paper cup upside down and flatten it.

2. Then prepare a paper cup, cut off its bottom and wrap it with a circle of double-sided tape. After tearing off the double-sided adhesive tape, stick it on the newly cut triangle. Be sure to stick it firmly.

3. Then cut a circle of paper cups from the paper cups whose bottom has just been cut off, and stick double-sided tape inside. Tear off the paper cups cut from this circle and stick them on the double-sided tape on the outside of the triangle, and stick them firmly.

4. When all is finished, gently press down the paper lantern by hand to make it shape. We'd better poke a small hole in the bottom of the lantern with scissors. Cut the wool into the same size and length, then tie a knot and stuff it into the hole just now, and the lantern will be finished.
