Paper lanterns are relatively simple in shape of cubes or cylinders. It is best to use flexible bamboo branches or bamboo skins to form a frame, and the joints are tied tightly with thin lines. If it is not easy to find, slender cardboard and bamboo sticks for barbecue can also be used. The firmness and flexibility will be lacking, but it is also a good decoration indoors.
