10 bamboo stick (or carton packing strip), 1 red transparent film paper, 1 ordinary hard paper, some white rice paper, pink (or bright red) pigment, green dyed paper, iron wire, etc.
Steps:
1. Skeleton making: 10 bamboo stick (or carton packing strip) is tied into a hemispherical shape and fixed, and a wire head with a length of about 1 cm is exposed at the bottom of the ball for placing candles;
2. Make the embryonic form of lotus: stick it on the spherical surface with red transparent film paper and stick it on the bottom with ordinary hard paper; 3. Making petals: Cut out 30 small rectangles about 8 cm long and 6 cm wide with rice paper, and find a pure cylindrical piston to roll the petals. This requires a cylinder and a piston sleeve. Spread the rice paper block on the round body, and then carefully wrap it with a string. If you want the petals to be thin, wrap it around one more time, and then pile up the rice paper with a piston, so that the original smooth rice paper will be fine.
4. Adjust the pink pigment, and then dip the petals in the pigment one by one.
5. Petal paste: paste the finished petals on a piece of spherical plain hard paper;
6, homemade lotus root, lotus leaf, put them one by one.
