Simple: find what steel, steel materials, then use bamboo, the paper, ink do a simple paper lantern. Hand-made paper lantern of materials and processes are very simple, can design the pattern that oneself like, and can make the festival add a lot of fun.

The first step, making the skeleton. Paper Chinese lanterns relatively simple shape is cube or cylinder, had better choose to bend the bamboo or bamboo skin as framework, the place with a fine line linking them. If you don't find, thin strip of cardboard and barbecue with bamboo can also, strong and flexible, but will also is very good in interior decoration.

The second step, light body. In the four treasures shop to buy a few pieces of white, red ordinary paper or sprinkled with golden rice paper lantern, cutting into the frame, it represented a design. Calligraphy and painting, the paper-cut, can be in little lantern on display. Paste, still can use narrow down the imitation silk paper, look more refined, the edge is like the ancient palace lantern. If not too good at painting, a simple solution for reference. With a piece of paper in calligraphy drawn on the next want, then this tissue and deep red paper overlap, with a single blade knife will handwriting cut pieces. Take off, red paper on flimsy appeared hollow-out the handwriting. Do use white paper, paper pasting red lights, candle lights or inside, in mapping from hollow-out pretty effect.

The third step, make light. If indoor, need only a point in the lantern ordinary candles, If you want to carry out the bulb and batteries do a simple circuit. Maybe it is a bit rough, but in the Lantern Festival in their hands on one point of lanterns, will the flavor.
