AdventurerKatziMakes a lantern that looks like a candle. Uses an empty plastic bottle (e.g. a small vinegar bottle). Covered with transparent paper and a crafted flame, the candle is quickly made.
As a table lamp you can see the lantern with a mini-light chain. Equipped with an electric lantern rod, you can take the lantern to the next lantern move.
Media Education for Kindergarten and Hort
Relief in everyday life, targeted promotion of individual children, independent learning and - without any pre-knowledge already usable by the youngest!
Prepare the materials.
An empty bottle, scissors, glue, yellow transparent paper and the red transparent paper in the height and circumference of the bottle.
First I'll show you how to make the flame yourself and give you a template too!
Cuts out a circle of yellow transparent paper with a diameter of 20cm. Paints a circle in the middle (e.g. with a large bottle lid). Attention, the marked inner circle must be larger than the bottle neck of your empty plastic bottle.
The small circle in the middle is now cut out.
Try if your cut-out hole fits over the bottle neck.
Now paint petals, similar to a flower. Just don't let them end in the middle, but leave 1-2 cm space.
Cut out the flower now.
Sticks together each of the petals at the upper edge.
Then you connect the individual leaves together.
The flame is ready for your candle.
Now put the flame on top of the bottle neck.
Transfer the template to your transparent paper and cut it out.
Glue is applied to the dotted areas and two adjacent flowers are glued to each other at the edge.
Look up!
Cut the red transparent paper in the height and circumference of your bottle and stick it around the bottle.
Either you take a black straw that you shorten at bottle height or a black paper strip in the length of the bottle.
Put a pen on the paper strip and roll the paper around the pen.
Then glues the paper roll together with an adhesive tape.
Insert the tube (or paper roll) into the bottle.
Upstairs you put the flame on it.
If you use a bottle light chain first put it in the bottle and then first wick and flame.
If you use a lantern rod with electric light you thread the light bulb through the flame and next to the wick. Maybe you don't have to glue the flame additionally.
Your candle is ready.
You can also use it as a decoration.
Or you put it in a small fir cone wrench.
Stay creative!
Have fun!
