Step 1: Fold the origami paper into 8 equal parts according to the folding line.
Step 2: Fold the paper into 16 equal pieces, alternating between mountain and valley folds to make wave creases.
Step 3: Fold the bottom right corner toward the second crease.
Step 4: Open the lower right corner to make a crease, and fold layers 1 and 2 backward, starting with layer 3, and fold the lower right corner toward the crease in layer 4.
Step 5: Fold the other layers according to the same folding method, and finally open the origami paper completely to form the crease shown below.
Step 6: Fold the bottom right corner towards the 3rd crease.
Step 7: Open the lower right corner after making the crease, and fold layers 1 and 2 backward, starting with layer 3, and fold the lower right corner toward the crease in layer 5.
Step 8: Fold backward two layers at a time and then forward three layers at a time, and when folding to the last two layers, still fold forward three layers.
Step 9: Unfold the paper completely to form the crease shown below.
Step 10: Fold the opposite side in the same way, and unfold the origami paper to form the crease.
Step 11: Fold the paper according to the crease.
Step 12: Fold both sides in the same way and fold all the way through the crease.
Step 13: Take another piece of paper and fold 16 equal pieces alternately.
Step 14: Fold back layer 1, and starting from layer 2, fold the bottom right corner toward the crease of layer 3.
Step 15: Open up the lower right corner after making a crease and fold layers 1, 2 and 3 backward, starting with layer 4 and folding the lower right corner toward the crease in layer 5. Fold backward two layers at a time, then fold forward two layers.
Step 16: Open the origami paper.
Step 17: Tape the edges of the origami paper with double-sided tape.
Step 17, glue the two pieces of origami paper to form a lantern, handmade origami lantern is completed.
