Preparation

A flickering flashlight, like a tiny light, immediately evokes a fairy-tale mood, creating an atmosphere of magic, mystery and enigma. Paper lanterns are so easy to make that even kids can get involved in preparing for the holiday and help you make these wonderful decorations.

In order to make a paper lantern, it is better to take plain office paper of different colors. Corrugated paper is also suitable for you, but you should not use cardboard, as it often breaks at the bend and the product may deteriorate.

In addition, during the work you will need glue, scissors, decorations (if you want your craft to be exclusive and original), a pencil and a ruler, as well as special templates for cutting.

A little patience, imagination and perseverance - and your DIY paper lantern is ready! You can decorate your house for the holiday.

Making classic paper lanterns

The base of any lantern is rectangular and looks like a cylinder, open at the top and bottom. Already on this base you will glue or attach various volumetric designs and decorations.

1. Before you make a traditional paper lantern of this type, you can think about how and what you will decorate it with. There are no special templates for a classic lantern, but there is a diagram that you can use as a guide.
2. First you need to make a base. To do this, you will need to cut out a rectangle from colored paper (determine the dimensions depending on the size of the future craft).
3. Then this paper rectangular piece needs to be folded in half (widthwise), and stepping back a little from its upper edge, mark a horizontal line with a pencil.
4. On the same blank, make markings for vertical stripes (take the width small, about 1-1.5 cm). Cut the paper along these lines, but so as not to cross the marked border line.
5. Next you will need another rectangle. It can be cut out from the same colored paper, or you can take paper of a different color. The length of this rectangle should be the same as the first one, but the width may be slightly smaller.
6. Also fold it in half, and then cut it into small strips from the fold side (as in the first case, do not make the cut all the way through, because you need to leave at least a centimeter for gluing to the base).
7. You can glue the blanks to each other (if you want, use a stapler). To make it easy to hang the lantern on a Christmas tree or other place, attach a small strip of paper to the two sides of the top of the lantern.

If desired, for decoration for the New Year, you can decorate the craft with stickers, sparkles, stars, snowflakes, rhinestones, etc.

Several of these lanterns will make a wonderful garland.

And if you don’t make a core in the lantern, then with the help of such a product you can decorate vases or other objects in an original way, making them elements of New Year’s decor.

Other manufacturing methods

By using your imagination and imagination, you can easily figure out how to make unique lanterns to decorate your home. For example, if you glue corrugated paper into cylinders, as is the case with classical technology, but do not make a second layer, but simply attach these shapes to the ribbons, and cover them along the bottom edge with light colored ribbons that will sway and flutter with the slightest movement. Such New Year's lanterns also look beautiful in a large garland.

If you want a candle to burn inside the product, then take two layers of paper for the base: plain paper for the top, and white parchment for the bottom, which will transmit light. Or use safe LED candles.

Another one simple craft- a flashlight made of multi-colored stripes. To make it, you need to cut a lot of paper strips (their length and width should be the same; the longer the strip, the larger the flashlight will be). These strips must be folded and holes pierced at both ends. Then take a beautiful lace and fasten it first on one side, and then thread it through the other hole and pull it well so that the strips bend in a semicircle. All that remains is to straighten the flashlight so that the stripes form the shape of a ball.

You can also do beautiful craft in the form of an openwork lantern that will decorate any festive table and on New Year's Eve at the Christmas tree, and on birthdays, and on other holidays.

1. To make such a romantic decorative element, you will need special cutting templates. If you are trying to make such a craft for the first time, then first it is better to take a blank drawing in which there will be a minimum number of gaps, since cutting out this part can take a lot of time and require some skills.
2. The selected template must be printed and carefully cut along the contours.
3. Select glasses, glasses, jars or other transparent objects that will serve as the base for the wrapper (candles can be placed in them). Measure their height and width. You need to cut the templates so that the containers can be completely wrapped.
4. Try on the templates again and adjust if necessary.
5. If you want to make colored lanterns, then under openwork patterns You will need to attach sheets of colored parchment (you also need to cut it to the size of the vessels). They are attached with tape.
6. Then you can attach the openwork templates, also carefully attaching them with tape.

Light the candles and enjoy the romantic atmosphere of a New Year's fairy tale.
