Many disposable paper cups are often used at family gatherings. What should I do with the used disposable paper cups? Let’s collect disposable paper and create a string of romantic and warm lanterns! Whether it’s for a relaxing night’s rest or a candlelight dinner, it can be used to the fullest!
In this issue, we work together with experts from the production department to use recycled disposable paper cups to create romantic chandeliers to add more interest to your home decoration!
Step 1 Materials: A string of lanterns, disposable paper cups, various wrapping papers, and auxiliary tools such as pencils and scissors. (Note: It is not suitable to use too thick paper for wrapping paper. It is better to choose light and translucent paper)
Step 2: Draw a number of fan shapes on each wrapping paper according to the shape and size of the side of the cup. According to the length of the lanterns, each bulb is inserted into a cup, and a piece of fan-shaped decorative paper is glued to each cup! Then, cut out all the drawn fan shapes one by one.
Step 3. After cutting out the fan-shaped wrapping paper, stick double-sided tape on the width side of each piece of wrapping paper. Then gently roll each one around the side of the cup.

Step 4: Use decorative paper to measure the circumference of the cup and cut off the excess wrapping paper. Then tear off the double-sided tape and stick the wrapping paper on the disposable paper cup.
Step 5: Use the same method to roll various wrapping papers on the remaining disposable paper cups. Then turn the cup over, draw a cross shape of about 2.5cm horizontally and vertically on the bottom of the cup, and then cut each one with a knife. (Note that the cross here cannot be cut too large, otherwise the cup will easily fall off when inserting the light bulb)
Step 6. After preparing enough cups, take out the purchased colored light strip and insert the light bulbs one by one into the disposable cup through the cut cross edge.
