Make a lantern for Chinese New Year
You will need:
- Colored paper (construction paper or gift wrapping)
- Scissors
- Glue, tape, or a stapler
 |
Fold a rectangular piece of paper in half,
making a long, thin rectangle. |
 |
Make a series of cuts (about a dozen or
more) along the fold line. Don't cut all the way to the edge of the
paper. |
 |
Unfold the paper. Glue or staple the short
edges of the paper together. |
 |
Cut a strip of paper 6 inches long and 1/2
inch wide. Glue or staple this strip of paper across one end of the
lantern - this will be the handle of the
lantern. |
 |
Optional: Make a lot of lanterns
and string them along a length of yarn. Decorate your
room! |
