A lantern is a traditional Chinese handicraft that is usually used during festivals or celebrations. Now, I'm going to show you how to make a lantern with chopsticks.
First of all, you need to prepare the following materials:
A pair of chopsticks (choose the number according to the size of the lantern).
A piece of red paper (or other color, but red is more representative).
A small bulb or candle holder.
A thin wire or wire.
glue or double-sided tape.
Scissors and blades.
Next is the production step:
1.First, cut the red paper to the appropriate size to be able to completely cover the inside of the lantern. If you are using A4 paper, then you only need to fold it in half.
2.Use glue or double-sided tape to secure the red paper to one end of the chopsticks. Make sure the paper is flat and free of wrinkles. Wait for the glue to dry.
3.When the paper is dry, start connecting the chopsticks to each other. They can be tied together using thin wire or wire, or they can be glued together. Make sure the shape of the lantern is stable and sturdy.
4.Leave a small hole in the top of the lantern so that you can insert a bulb or candle holder. If you are using a small bulb, you can use a thin wire to attach it to the top of the lantern. If you are using a candle holder, you can use a wire to secure it to the top of the lantern.
5.Finally, place the lantern in a stable place and light a light bulb or candle. Now, you've finished a traditional Chinese lantern made with chopsticks.
This lantern is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it is also very eco-friendly. It doesn't require any electricity, just a small bulb or candle to light it up. During festivals or celebrations, this lantern can add a traditional atmosphere to your home.
