5. Fold the following section in half again.

6. Open the colored paper and use a colored pen to draw a flower on each rectangle.

7. Apply glue stick to the two ends of the colored paper, and stick the two ends together to form a square lantern.

8. Cut a thin strip from the colored paper, apply glue sticks on both ends, and stick it on the lantern to serve as a lantern handle.

9. Use scissors to cut a small strip from the colored paper, apply glue on both ends, and stick it under the lantern to serve as a shelf for gluing the lantern spikes.

10. Use scissors to cut a wider strip from the colored paper. Use scissors to cut the lower part into filaments. Apply glue and stick it on the lantern stand. Use it as a lantern spike. The handmade lantern is ready. Done.

Method 2:

1. First, we need to prepare the materials for making lanterns: paper cups, red thread, glue or double-sided tape, coloring pens or gouache and scissors.

2. Take out a prepared paper cup, and then use scissors to cut the paper cup evenly into strips of the same size from the mouth to the bottom.

3. After cutting lengthwise, trim the edge of the cup mouth to ensure neatness and simplicity.

4. You can trim the strips of the cup body to ensure that the strips have the same width everywhere, and try to make the cut as smooth and rectangular as possible.

5. After trimming, bend the vertical bars inward one by one to initially show the shape of a lantern.

6. Then, take out the other prepared paper cup and cut out the mouth of the cup, leaving only about 2 cm of the bottom of the cup.

7. Cut out the remaining bottom of the cup into uniform strips of the same size according to the cutting method of the previous paper cup.

8. Drill a small hole in the bottom of the two paper cups and thread them with red thread.

9. Glue the vertical strips of the two paper cups one by one. After the gluing is completed, the lantern will be almost ready. You can also use your creativity to add some other decorations.
