Paper cup lanterns-handmade by children
2 paper cups, glue, watercolor, yarn


Steps to make paper cup lanterns:
1. Cut the same fringe from the mouth of a paper cup (larger ones are easier to paste), leave a little at the bottom of the cup, and cut smaller ones from the mouth of the cup for easier pasting;
2. For another cup, cut out the bottom of the cup, then cut the same number of tassels on the bottom of the cup (the same number of tassels as the first one), and cut the remaining tassels on the mouth of the cup to make a lantern;
3. String the thread first, and then paste it on. I will do the pasting part myself. It will be more beautiful if I use colored cardboard to paste it on, and finally paste the tassels;
4. The paper cups have pictures, so you don’t need to use watercolor pens. If they are white, you can add pictures or colors first.


Repurposing used paper cups is simple and beautiful.
