1. Place the bamboo in the steam chamber to heat for half an hour, then take it out and dry it in a cool place, but do not dry it too much or expose it to strong light. 2. Use a bamboo plane to remove the rough surface of the bamboo. 2. 3. Cut the bamboo strips to the required length (depending on the size of the lantern). 3． The braiding method completes the lamp stand in a criss-cross pattern. 4. In the middle of the lamp stand, you can also tie several bamboo rings on the lamp wall. 5. To paste the lantern, first paste the cotton gauze, and then paste the second layer of single-gloss paper used to make the lantern. (If you don’t have single-gloss paper, you can also use fine tissue paper.) For pasting cotton gauze, you must first apply the diluted paste evenly on the surface of the skeleton, then lightly attach the cut gauze to the lamp stand, and then use the brush to dip the paste Brush the paste flat. It should be noted here that the brush used to flatten the paste must be a clean brush, otherwise, the lamp surface will be a mess. At the same time, the paper must be pasted so that there are no seams before the paper is completed. 6. Place the lantern in a cool and ventilated place to dry. 7． Painted. Color painting adopts the desired patterns according to personal taste, such as figures, Eight Immortals, flowers and birds, ladies, etc. 8. After painting, decide whether to write text according to the situation. After the words and patterns are completely dry, apply a layer of tung oil, and then wait for the tung oil to dry in the shade, and the lantern is complete. Alternative small lantern: The materials I used to make the lantern are: a plastic wine bottle, a few pieces of peach blossom paper, a utility knife, a box of watercolors, a few red ropes and a Chinese knot. After preparing the materials, I started to work. First cut off the head of the bottle, then use a utility knife to hollow out the panels around the bottle. Then cut out a piece of peach blossom paper according to the size of the bottle and divide it into 4 parts. I drew a head held high on the first piece. The big rooster is so majestic; a picture of plum blossoms is drawn on the third piece, which represents it, and a couplet is written on the other two pieces: guests gather from all over the world, east, west, north, south, and north to celebrate the New Year. Then stick the paper on the bottle, hang a Chinese knot on the bottom of the bottle, and finally punch 4 holes in the neck of the bottle, hang the red rope into the holes, and a small lantern is completed.
