First used chiefly to provide light, later, they were used by monks to pay homage to Buddha. Today, they are still used in Chinese celebrations, especially Lantern Festival, Chinese National Day and Chinese New Year. Traditional lanterns are red which is a symbol of life and prosperity, although today, many Chinese lanterns have contemporary shapes and colors.<\/p>\n<h4>Materials for Chinese Lanterns<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B002XK5XOI\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B002XK5XOI\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">construction paper<\/a> 9 x 12 inches and\/or scrapbook paper or <a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"9460090478\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/9460090478\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">heavy wrapping paper<\/a>, cut into 9 by 12 inches pieces<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B001E69WBW\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B001E69WBW\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">glue stick<\/a> or stapler<\/li>\n<li>scissors<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B00IWVFRD4\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B00IWVFRD4\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">hole punch<\/a>or yarn needle (optional)<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B01HEPXEE2\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B01HEPXEE2\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">twine<\/a> or yarn (optional)<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B0055GH67E\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B0055GH67E\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">markers<\/a>, paint or crayons (optional)<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B073QGC3TX\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B073QGC3TX\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">washi tape<\/a>, ribbon or other decorations (optional)<\/li>\n<li>scissors<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/10\/chinese-paper-lantern.pdf\">template<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Directions for Single Chinese Lanterns<\/h4>\n<p>Cut a 1 inch strip off one of the short sides of your construction paper.

Make it the same as the other lanterns until you get to the part of gluing up the side.
