Illustration of how to make simple lanterns for children
When it comes to lanterns, many people may not know what they are, but when it comes to lanterns, everyone knows that this is a traditional folk handicraft that originated in China.
In ancient times, the main function was to illuminate. The skin of the lantern was mainly made of paper or silk, and the skeleton was usually made of bamboo or wooden strips.
Place some candles or lanterns in the middle, mainly as lighting tools.
Influenced by Chinese culture, lanterns are also the most common items in temples in many Asian countries.
Prepare some things in advance, including balloons, wrinkled paper, white latex paint, brushes, rope, cardboard, scissors, candles and candle holders.
Latex and water can be mixed according to a certain ratio.
Use cardboard to make a cylindrical bracket.
After blowing up the balloon, place it on the paper tube, cut the wrinkled paper and paste it on the balloon using white latex above.
Wrap some rope around the top of the balloon to facilitate the installation of the handle later.
Tie a rope to the inflation port, and then dry the balloon completely.
