Creative Paper Lanterns for homes and for sale too....

Hello everyone...
        Hi. Today I am telling how to make paper lanterns... Firstly take a paper.(any color). Then make some creative design on it.. Cut the design with cutter or blade. * Keep the blade or cutter away from small children. Then fold it in cylindrical shape. Stick both the borders with fevicol. Let it dry for 5 minutes..
        Then take some colored paper again. Cut this paper in stripes. * Stripes should not cross the borders of the paper.. Make the cuts on the paper leaving a margin of 1.5 - 2.0 cms. Stick that paper in cylindrical shape again. This paper should be a little more big in size than the first cylinder. Then put some pressure on both sides of the paper ( at the rim of the cylinder no.2. ) The stripes will bulge out in shape from the center.
         Fix this cylinder on cylinder no. 1. Staple it firmly with 4-5 staples on  the rims on both sides.
Take another colored paper. Cut this paper in stripes with leaving the margin on one sides ( top. ) Then this paper becomes your freel for the lantern which hangs down.. Fix it with fevicol and staple it firmly with 4 staples. Put a bulb of any color in a holder and hang it in the lantern.
          This becomes your creative paper lantern. You can hang it in your homes, sell it by making some more designer paper lanterns and make some pocket money... You can also gift it to someone in Diwali...  And I am sorry for not uploading the photos, but I am uploading it very soon for you b'coz learning anything from photos is easier than learning from words...
So this is it ! Something new for you next time...                                                          - Raajeev
