📌 Materials Required:

To make this beautiful newspaper lantern, you’ll need:

Now, let’s begin creating your beautiful newspaper lantern! ✨🏮

📌 Step 1: Cover the Balloon with Newspaper Tubes

1️⃣ Inflate a balloon to the desired size of your lantern. 🎈
2️⃣ Take the newspaper tubes and wrap them around the balloon, covering the entire surface.
3️⃣ Apply glue as you go to keep the tubes in place.
4️⃣ Once fully covered, let it dry completely. This may take a few hours or overnight.


🖌 Step 2: Remove the Balloon

1️⃣ Once the newspaper covering is completely dry, carefully poke a small hole in the balloon. 🎈✨
2️⃣ Let the air slowly escape to prevent the structure from collapsing.
3️⃣ Gently pull out the deflated balloon, leaving behind your sturdy newspaper lantern shape.


🖌 Step 3: Create Cup-Like Shapes with Paper Tubes

Now, let’s add some decorative elements to your lantern!

📌 Steps to Follow:

1️⃣ Take newspaper tubes and shape them into small cup-like structures.
2️⃣ Secure each shape with glue to hold its form.
3️⃣ Let them dry completely before attaching them to the lantern.


                       


🎨 Step 4: Paint the Lantern

Now it’s time to bring your lantern to life with colors! ✨🎨

📌 Steps to Follow:

1️⃣ Choose your favorite paint colors for the lantern. 🌈
2️⃣ Use a paintbrush to coat the entire structure evenly.
3️⃣ Let the first layer dry, then apply a second coat if needed for a richer look.
4️⃣ Optionally, add patterns, glitter, or designs to make it more decorative! ✨



🛠 Step 5: Assemble the Lantern

Now that all the parts are ready, let’s put them together! ✨🏮

📌 Steps to Follow:

1️⃣ Take your painted lantern base and arrange the cup-like shapes creatively around it.
2️⃣ Apply strong glue or a hot glue gun to attach each piece securely.
3️⃣ Hold each piece in place for a few seconds until it sticks properly.
4️⃣ Let the assembled lantern dry completely before handling.

🔹 Tip: If you want to hang the lantern, attach a string or wire loop at the top for easy hanging! 🎇
