Handmade lantern practice is as follows:

I. Ripple type lantern

1, 21 * 28cm blue A4 paper, along the short side of the center line were 2 times folded, unfolded the second time, the two sides of the crease were aligned with the center line fold. Unfold the origami paper into 8 equal parts, and fold from 1 side along the crease to form a rectangular strip of origami paper. Fold the paper from the short side of the rectangular strip to the other side, and then fold the paper forward and backward to form a ripple shape.

2. Unfold the corrugated origami paper and fold another piece of 21*28cm blue A4 paper in the same way to form a corrugated origami paper. Glue the short side of the corrugated origami paper with a glue gun and stick it to another piece of corrugated origami paper, and then lower the other 2 ends of the origami paper with a glue gun and stick them together to form a cylinder.

3. Fold the cylindrical origami paper along the corrugated crease, front and back, to form a blue circular paper. Take 2 15cm round hard paper, 1 of the surface sealed white paper, 9cm round paper mold on the surface of the white paper, draw a circle along the edge of the circle after cutting out the center of the 9cm circle into a circle.

4, 15cm round cardboard edges with a glue gun after gluing, the blue circle paper will be attached to the 15cm round cardboard, as the bottom of the lantern. Use a bamboo skewer to poke 2 flush round holes in the circular cardboard, then glue the blue circular paper with a glue gun, and the two are glued together. Thread the white string through the holes and tie them together, stretch the corrugated lantern body, and you've got a lantern.

Two, hollow basket lantern

A5 white paper folded along the short side of the center line, scissors from the short side of 1 side to the other side at 1cm intervals along the folded edge of the cut. Unfold the origami paper, glue all over the 1st paper strip on the right side, roll it into a cylinder and stick it behind the 1st paper strip on the left side, and press down on the cylinder origami paper to form a flower basket shape. Take a long strip of paper, glue the short side and stick it to the inside of the lantern opening, and glue the other end to the inside of the lantern opening.
