Materials for making lanterns: paper cups, sticks or straws, red crayons, glue and scissors.

Method for making lanterns:

1. First, paint the paper cup red with a watercolor pen, and then cut the paper cup into strips. When you squeeze a paper cup, it becomes the belly of a lantern.

2. Make a hole in the bottom of the paper cup, then pass it through with a red silk rope, tie a knot at the bottom, and fix it with a wire rope at the top, and the lantern will basically take shape. ?

3. Paint the waste paper red with a red crayon, cut it into strips, and tie it at the end of the red silk rope to make the red tassel of the lantern. ?

4. Then, put the words "home has the moon" on the four sides of the lantern, no matter how it turns, it is "home has the moon". ?

Finally, of course, you need a pole to pick lanterns, and roll up the straw with a piece of colored paper, which will be more beautiful and finished.
