1, paper lantern
Preparation materials: cardboard, glue, scissors, knife, ruler, double-sided tape and pen.
Specific steps: take out a piece of colored cardboard, put the cardboard horizontally, and draw two straight lines on the top and bottom of the cardboard with a ruler.
Then draw a vertical line between these two lines with a ruler, and then cut the vertical line with a knife. Note that the interval between each vertical line is the same. Oh, it will make the lanterns more tidy. Cut out two slender rectangular strips and stick them on the upper and lower straight lines of cardboard.
Connect the cut cardboard left and right with double-sided tape, and stick it together end to end to form a cylinder. Then slowly stretch the cylinder into the shape of a lantern by hand.
Cut out some decorations from cardboard of other colors. What we cut here are small flowers. Among them, the biggest blue flower will be used as the base of lanterns, and children can also make other beautiful bases according to their own ideas.
Stick the biggest flower on the bottom of the lantern as the base, and stick other green leaves on the lantern at will, and a beautiful lantern will be made!
2. Love Lantern Bottle
Preparation materials: jar, Sydney paper, PVA glue, metal wire.
Specific steps: first, tear the primary color Sydney paper into pieces. Stick the fragments outside the jar, cover them completely with diluted PVA glue and wait for them to dry completely. Then cut and paste some love with other colors of Sydney paper and paste it in the same way.
Use metal wire or other materials to make the handle of lanterns. Put candles or lights in lanterns at night, and they will light up and look good!
3. Mid-Autumn Dragon Lantern
Preparation materials: several disposable paper cups, 1 paper roll, gouache pigment, disposable straws, colored handmade paper, universal eyes, colored ropes, rubber bands, glue sticks and scissors.
Specific steps: first, we use gouache pigment to color disposable paper cups and paper rollers and dry them. Of course, you can also use paper cups of different colors directly. Then we drilled two small holes in each paper cup, and all the paper cups operated the same. Only one is shown below.
Cut the straw into small pieces of about 3cm, put the rubber band through the small hole of the paper cup, and fix the straw on both sides of the paper cup. In the upper part of the paper cup, the holes on both sides are drilled in the same way, and the straws are fixed with rubber bands while passing through the holes of the next paper cup to form a series connection, and so on, to complete the connection of all paper cups.
Cut out the stripes on the dragon's dorsal fin, ears and nose with colored paper, and cut the colored rope into whiskers. The faucet consists of a paper cup and a paper roll. The paper drum and the bottom of the paper cup are glued together with white latex, and the paper cup mouth is connected with the dragon paper cup mouth.
After splicing, you're done! This dragon lantern is very suitable for parents and children to make at home. Come on!
