4. Use scissors to cut off the small triangle at the crease, and then cut a V-shaped shape on both sides of the triangle, as shown in the picture.

5.? Unfold the paper and glue two adjacent edges together to form a cone shape.

6. Attach a piece of transparent tape to the bottom of the lantern to strengthen the structure and prevent fire.
