2. Exterior decoration of lanterns: some red cardboard (preferably red wrapping paper), three cartoon New Year pictures, three greeting cards, six paper cores, several red Spring Festival couplets, diamond stickers, blessing stickers and Chinese knots (purchased or homemade).
3. Tool materials: scissors, paper cutter, wide adhesive tape, double-sided adhesive tape, glue, glue stick, rope, etc.
second, the production process: the first step is to make the skeleton. The paper lamp has a simple shape, which is square or cylinder. It is best to use flexible bamboo or bamboo as the skeleton, and the joint is fastened with string. If it is hard to find, the strips and bamboo strips that can be used for barbecue are not tough enough, but they are good for decorating the room.
the second step is to make the lamp body. Go to Four Treasures of the Study's shop to buy some ordinary white and red rice paper, or sprinkle gold rice paper, cut it into the length-width ratio of the lantern, and then make it yourself. Calligraphy, painting and paper-cutting can all shine on this little lantern. Paste it, and then wrap it up and down with a thin silk-like cloth, which looks like an ancient palace lantern. People who don't know calligraphy can learn in a simple way. Use a thin piece of paper to trace the words you want to write on it, then overlap this page with dark red rice paper, and then use a single-edged knife to dig out the words on it. Take off the white paper and a line of fine print appears on the red paper. White paper is used as the lamp body, red rice paper is stuck inside, and there are candles or lights in the middle groove, which looks beautiful.
the third step is to manufacture the light source. If it is placed indoors, just light an ordinary candle in the lantern; If you want to take it with you, the best way is to use a simple light bulb and a battery. Although it looks a bit rough, it will be very delicious to light a lantern made by yourself during the Lantern Festival.
