The Making of the "Lantern Tail"

in CCHlast year

Hello Everyone☺☺☺

Hope all is safe and good!!!

Christmas is in the air. So houses, schools and other establishments have already there christmas decor and lights. I've told you this because last-last week my co-worker asked me to make a "Lantern Tail" because the school were her daughter attended, there teacher give them an old Star Lantern and they will need to renovate it as there project for this grading.

So since the lantern tail of the said star lantern is already ruined, they need to replace it with new. So mu co-worker asked me if I know how to make it. And I said yes. So here are some materials and steps on how I did this simple lantern tail.

MATERIALS:

  • Plastic Lantern Cellophane
  • pair of scissors/cutter
  • ruler (if needed)

5.Then your done. Since I see it so simple, I put some plastic cellophane strips with different color to make it alive.

I've made 4 lantern tail all in all. Two short for the upper sides of the star and the another two long size for the lower part. I'm sorry I don't have the photo of the full star lantern with lantern tails. Because my co-worker daughter passed it right away to there school on the following day.



That's all for now everyone. Keep safe always. God Bless and Thank you for your unending support to my blog always☺☺😘
