Homemade romantic pastoral style lanterns are simple handmade items. You can DIY them to feel warm and romantic with your loved one. Imagine sitting on the edge of the forest, at dusk and sunset, sitting on a quaint bench with your loved one. The evening breeze blows. . .
Material preparation:
Flowers, leaves, heavy books, paper towels, wax paper, ruler, utility knife, cutting board or mat, iron, ironing board, washi tape.
Production steps:
1. Place the flowers and leaves between two paper towels and place them in a heavy book to dry. Thin leaves and flowers dry faster.
2. Measure and cut four 4.5-by-9-inch rectangular pieces of wax paper.
3. Fold these wax papers in half into a square. Open the wax paper and place petals or leaves inside. (As shown in the picture above) Close the wax paper so that the petals are sandwiched between the two layers of wax paper.
4. Place the wax paper on the ironing board or fabric, set the iron to medium and quickly iron over the wax paper to seal. This fuses the two layers of wax paper together. Repeat this step until all four squares of wax paper masking sheets are sealed.
5. Place the two wax paper covers together. Adjust the cover so the side you want the outside of the paper lantern to face faces you (not the table). Cut a strip of tape an inch longer than the hood, place the tape between the edges where the two hoods touch and press it flat.
6. Turn the cover over and flatten the excess tape on the reverse side. "Close" the two panels and press your finger along the tape to make the crease deeper. Continue this step to connect the panels until the four panels form a cube.
7. Put the candle (in a glass candle holder) or LED tealight into the paper lantern, and a beautiful and romantic lantern is completed. As for the handle, you can install it as needed, it’s very simple and I won’t go into details!
