Step 2, make the lamp body. Buy some white and red ordinary rice paper or golden rice paper in Four Treasures of the Study, cut it into the length and width of the lantern skeleton, and you can design your own patterns. Calligraphy, painting and paper-cutting can all be displayed on small lanterns. After pasting, you can also use narrow silk-like paper to wrap the edges up and down, which looks more elegant, much like ancient palace lanterns. If you are not good at painting and calligraphy, there is a simple method for reference. Use a thin paper to trace the desired words on the copybook, then overlap this thin paper with crimson rice paper and dig out the words with a single-edged blade. Remove the paper towel, and hollow handwriting will appear on the red rice paper. White rice paper is used as the lamp body, and red rice paper is pasted inside, which reflects candlelight or light from the hollowed-out place, and the effect is quite beautiful.
The third step is to be a light source. If you put it indoors, you just need to light an ordinary candle in the lantern; If you want to realize it, you'd better make a simple circuit with light bulbs and batteries. It may look a little rough, but lighting a lantern made by yourself in the Mid-Autumn Festival will definitely have a different taste!
For more suggestions on educating children, please visit the website of Western Zhou Children's Education Research Institute. Western Zhou education not only taught children in all aspects, but also taught parents how to be wise parents under the guidance of parental rearing patterns. Therefore, children not only improve their learning ability, but also have a more harmonious parent-child relationship.
