Let's celebrate~~Mid-autumn festival~~

Mid-Autumn Festival, a popular Asian celebration of abundance and union. At this time, the Moon is supposed to be at its fullest and brightest. This is the best time to enjoy the beauty of a full moon, with mooncakes and lanterns.

Ms Chai can't teach you how to make a mooncake. But, what about making your own lantern?

NOTE: Here, we do not use a candle with the lantern.

1. What do you need?
a) 6 pieces of square size paper (the harder the better)
b) 4 pieces of lightweight size paper (the lighter the better)
c) a stick with light bulb & battery
d) glue / tape
e) colour pencils
f) scissor / craft knife

2. Fold each of the four outer coners into the centre.
Do this for all 6 pieces of square size paper.







3. Unfold and cut a square hole in the middle of the square size paper (A).
Do this for for 4 pieces of square size paper.
TIPS: You may vary the shape and size of the hole as you like.






4. Draw and colour whatever you like on the lightweight size paper (B).
Do this for all 4 pieces of lightweight size paper.
NOTE: Don't colour all the background, as it will block the brightness of the light.




5. Stick B to A (C).

6. Stick all C together. The uncut square size paper will be on the top and bottom.
NOTE: Make a small hole in the middle of the top paper.




7. Insert the bulb into the lantern thru the hole made at step 6.
TIPS: You may fix the position of the bulb by taping the wire to the paper.







8. This is Ms Chai's very own lantern.
