Lanterns seem to have been filled with many people's memories, and all kinds of lanterns are indispensable decorative items during festivals. So how to make a lotus lantern with simple cardboard?

Tools Materials.

Paper jam. Rope.

Knife. How it works:

First of all, we take two squares of cardboard, and the color of the paper can be close to the color of the lotus. Then cut it into four parts of the same size from the middle position.

Take one of them, fold it in the middle first, and then fold the two ends along the middle line as shown below.

On the basis of the above steps, fold the sides of both sides towards the position of the midline, as shown in the figure below. Fold the other three sheets of paper in this way.

Once folded, put the yellow one underneath the purple one, bend it along the midline, and tie the two pieces of origami with string in the middle.

Bend the tightly tied origami into a cross shape as shown in the figure below. The part of the rope can be left longer.

In the same way, fold the other three petals upwards and arrange the positions of the four petals to make them more aesthetically pleasing.

Finally, roll up the outer layer of yellow petals. The handmade lotus lantern is complete.

Lotus flowers can be made with colored paper, and the specific method is as follows:

Materials required: 10 pieces of pink rectangular paper, 5 pieces of green rectangular paper, and a piece of wire.

1. Folded lotus flowers, first prepare rectangular paper of two colors, fold the ratio of length to width is close to 2:1.

2. Take a piece of pink rectangular paper, make the long sides coincide, and fold it in half once.

3. Take one of the right angles of the paper, fold it in the middle direction, and then fold the other three corners in the same way.

4. Fold the long side to the middle, so that the edge and the broken line coincide, and the long side of the other side is also folded according to the method of the previous step to get such a figure.

5. Fold the figure inward as a whole according to the initial folded line.

7. This time, fold outward according to the crease in the middle.

8. These three count as a group, put them in place. The green ones fold inward, the red ones fold inwards, and the red ones fold outwards.

9. Fold four more groups, a total of five groups.

10. Arrange these five groups, tie them together with wire, and then put them in the shape of petals.

11. Carefully turn a layer of paper upwards, turn it over again at intervals, and fold it into a flower shape.

12. Turn another layer according to the previous method, and turn it over one by one! Flip two more floors like this.

13. Finally, the green leaves must be turned up, and a beautiful lotus flower will be folded.

The practice of lotus lanterns is as follows:1. Fold a rectangular piece of paper in half.

2. Then fold four symmetrical triangles in half along the middle line.

3. Fold in half along the middle line.

4. Then fold it back along the middle line.

5. According to the above method, 12 in turn, every 3 are a group, a total of 4 groups.

6. Tie 4 long strips together.

7. Then spread out the strips.

8. Start with the innermost layer and fold inward in turn to form a petal shape.

9. After the three layers are folded, the shape of the lotus lantern comes out. The lotus lantern folded out of waterproof colored paper is more beautiful, and a candle in the middle will have a better effect when placed on the surface of the water.

The lotus lantern is made as follows:

Materials required: 2 pieces of green colored paper of the same size in a square, 4 sheets of pink, thin wire or sewing thread, scissors.

1. We have turned all the squares into 12 equal rectangles.

2. We fold the rectangle horizontally in half to open the crease, and then fold the 4 right angles parallel to the transverse middle line to form 4 isosceles right triangles of the same size; Then fold the top and bottom sides in half again to the middle.

3. We fold the green colored paper inward, fold the pastel paper outward, and then list the pastel colored paper on the green colored paper, 3 as a group, a total of 4 components.

4. We use sewing thread or thin wire to fix the middle of the 4 components.

5. After fixing, sort out the 4 components, let the components into 8 directions, and then turn the petals one by one, layer by layer, pay attention to the strength, and it will not look so good if it is broken.

6. The last layer of green petals can be folded back slightly, and the whole beautiful lotus lamp will be folded, and you can put an electronic lamp in it, and use it as a night light at night, which has a special taste.

The lotus flower is a sacred object of Buddhism, the Buddha statues in the temple are sitting on the lotus platform, and the Buddha in the Buddhist scriptures is called spitting lotus when he conveys the Dharma. This is because lotus has four virtues, fragrant, pure, soft, and lovely.

The production of lotus lanterns includes tying skeletons, pasting frames, appliqué petals, and installing flower heads.

1. Tie the skeleton.

First, cut the straps into 62 cm (1 piece) and 40 cm (3 straps) for later use. Take a 62 cm packing belt, draw 6 equal parts with a red pen to make a mark, and pay attention to leave 1 cm at the head and tail for handover. Then tie 3 pieces of 40 cm strapping tape (wire or thread is also acceptable) to the long circle you just had.

Then take the appropriate length of packing belt to finish the lantern skeleton. Finally, take the appropriate length of wire to tie the lotus flower head, generally there are 5 flower heads, 2 below, 3 above.

2. Paste the frame.

Apply hand cream first to protect your hands from being glued. Apply 1 6 frames evenly with all-purpose adhesive, and gently stick the semi-circular non-woven fabric prepared in advance to the frame, taking care to be sure to stick along the frame. The remaining 5 equal parts are pasted in the same way, and then the excess non-woven fabric is trimmed with scissors to ensure that the surface of the lantern is flat.

Finally, take transparent paper and paste the upper part of the frame of the lantern.

3. Appliqué petals.

Make flower petals from the petal paper prepared in advance. Hold one side of the petal with tweezers, gently pinch the corner of the petal paper with your hand, tie the corner with copper wire, and a petal is made. Starting from the top layer of the lantern, 6 petals are pasted in turn.

Choose the bottom middle of the first two petals, start pasting the second petal, and so on. A total of 5 layers of red petals and 2 layers of green petals are pasted, and the bottom layer of green petals is pasted in reverse.

4. Install the flower head.

Tie the flower heads and lotus pods prepared in advance on the wire tied in the first step, and wrap the wire with a green plastic tube to decorate the lotus rhizome. Finally, find a stick and insert the lantern wire, and put in the LED light.

How to make a lotus lantern:

Prepare a piece of paper first, be careful not to be too thin, otherwise it will be torn; Don't be too thick either, otherwise it will be hard to break. Cut the paper into a square and fold it in half diagonally, with the four sides folded diagonally toward the center, and the corners folded in half toward the center.

The reverse is a field character, fold a small corner to the reverse side, pay attention to which side the angle is folded to, fold to the center to the side of the corner with a line, don't reverse it.

Hold down the small corner, turn it over from behind, see the arrow in the direction, be careful in this step, it is easy to break the paper, it is very important. Go on, fold the corners and fold them as you did just now. All four corners are folded.

After the four corners are done, turn the lotus lantern upside down, fold out the four triangles, and then turn it around, and the lotus lantern will appear in front of you. Put a small candle in the middle and light it.
