How to Make a Chinese Paper Lantern: "
Steps
- Assemble your supplies. These are listed below under 'Things You'll Need'.
- Measure out an inch (2.54cm) across the width of the paper. Cut off the top and set it on the side for later. This will be the lantern's handle.
- Fold the paper lengthwise (a hot dog fold).
- Measure out an inch (2.54cm) from the top of the fold. This will be the 'stop cut' line.
- Make one inch (2.54cm) interval lines across the paper and cut along the lines. Stop at the top line.
- Carefully fold the paper the other way. Making this fold will help you hide any pencil marks.
- Use a small piece of clear tape to connect the two paper ends together. Repeat on the other side.
- Staple on the handle.
- Hang up your paper lantern somewhere in the house. Make several lanterns to decorate fully.
