Material preparation: prepare six small squares of paper (about 8cm), as well as sticks, double-sided tape and string.

Operating steps:

1. Fold both sides of these six square pieces of paper.

2. Take the center of the paper as the point, and then fold the four corners of these six square papers into triangles, as shown in the figure.

3. Fold these six triangular pieces of paper and open them vertically.

4. Stick the double-sided adhesive tape on the outside of the triangle and stick it firmly in turn, one for each * * *.

5. When all four are glued together, glue the triangles on both sides together.

6. The remaining two square pieces of paper are the bottom of the lantern and the top of the lantern. Glue the bottom of the lantern first.

7. Make a small hole in the middle of the last square piece of paper, put a string in it to make a knot, and then stick it with double-sided tape. The other string is tied to a stick, just like a beautiful lantern.
