This lantern is made of a painted cardboard plate. It is small and handy and is ideal for a lantern move with crib children. The little ones can easily hold the lantern on the wire and carry it. By the way, the children get to know the components of an apple while crafting or solidify their knowledge. Step by step we show you how this apple lantern is created. Have fun!

First cut the floor out of both cardboard plates. Then paint the bottom side of the cardboard plates in different shades of red.
Tip: As an alternative to painting with the brush, you can apply the paint with a sponge. For this, you will find a damp sponge in a little water color. You will need to put a kitchen crepe or an old newspaper under it. So you can apply the paint well to the edge.
Then let the paint dry.
While the paint dries, you cut out circles of transparent paper. Make sure that the circles are larger than the cut-out. Use a bowl or plate as a template.
Then you stick circles of transparent paper on the insides of the cardboard rings.
Then glue the two cardboard rings together on the inside sides. Leave an opening about 10 cm in size at one point. Through this you can insert the light chain later.
For the stem you use half a brown pipe cleaner and a green paper.
Fold the green paper half way.
Then you paint the shape of a sheet on the paper. Paint the sheet from the fold and leave a wide opening on the folding edge.
Cuts out the leaf twice and folds it apart.
Now bend the pipe cleaner in the middle.
Then thread the pipe cleaner through the hole in the lantern until bend.
Now twist the ends of the pipe cleaner. So he can no longer slip out.
Then you push the leaf folded between the ends of the pipe cleaner.
Push the leaf down and twist the ends of the pipe cleaner together. The leaves are now stuck.
Now you twist the overhanging ends of the pipe cleaner together.
Make sure the ends don't pee.
Now you're making a flower of brown clay paper.
Then you paint a pointed pattern on the straight side. Inverted, the flower looks like a tulip.
Cut out the flower.
Now you stick the flower between the two cardboard plates to the bottom of the apple.
The apple is ready. Now you punch left and right or, depending on where the stalk is located, two holes in the upper side.
The children can carry the lantern on the wire or use the wire to hang a lantern rod.
