How to make diy paper lanterns

What you need:

Printed sample (optional)
drag
glue
Cardstock Red
Colored paper (red, yellow, light and darker pink, lightweight and darker, blue, orange, light and darker)
Circle Puncher (Optional)
Pencil and ruler (optional)

Step by step

Use our sample, a circular punch, compass or a round object to track and cut paper circles of the same size.

There are children cutting out a rectangle from the red cardstock and applying glue.

Take the first paper circle and fold it in half.

Paste it in a rectangle as shown in the picture.

Continue with the next.

And that’s all with it.

Continue to add paper circles one by one.

More glue if needed.

Rinse and repeat.

Then add red.

You do not need to go all the way to the end of the rectangle, a part of it must be free circle.

There are children cutting a yellow rectangle with a red length like red and starting to perform cuts into it to make the edge. Do not cut through paper.
