Brings light into the dark with the beautiful warm glowing colors of autumn.
Craft with packaging material and take an empty beverage bag (tetrapack), which you glue with colorful transparent paper. Look for yourself.
Cut off a Tetrapack carton to a length of 12cm. You measure the length from below, as we make with the lower part.
Rectangles are now cut out of the side parts. Make sure that a 1cm wide edge stops. For this you use a cutter knife, but let it help you! The handling needs some practice.
Cut four butterbread papers to the dimensions 11cm x 6cm.
Now you tear thin stripes out of the transparent paper (about 1-2cm wide).
Now glue the four butterbread paper cuts to her with the transparent paper strips.
Change the colors and let the transparent papers overlap a bit.
Then you shorten the overhanging strips to the size of the bread-cut.
Next you paint the frame of your lantern with finger colors or with a black felt pen.
Finally, you stick the coloured butterbread cuts into the windows of your lantern.
But you can also first stick the butterbread paper cuts behind the windows.
To do this, place the side to be glued on the table and press it from the inside.
From the outside, the transparent paper strips are now glued together overlappingly.
Now cut off the side-overstanding paper strips.
If the printing of the tetrapack shimmers through, then clay paper sticks to the edges of the lantern. This can be the case when painting with felt pins. But it does not interfere with the luminous paper in the lantern windows.
Here, too, first glues the slices of the butterbread paper behind the windows.
Then paint the frame dark with finger colors.
Now you're ripping snippets out of the transparent paper.
Now you glue the pages with the colorful snippets of transparent paper.
Your lantern is ready!
