How about a lantern made of colorful wooden spatulas? This lantern is not only cheaply produced, but is also simply copied and makes a good job. It can also be used as a night light or ceiling lamp in the children's room.
This is how you make the lantern:
For the floor, place 9 spatulas next to each other and glue 2 spatulas with Handicraft glue lengthwise above. The other spatulas can be put together to form a square and the notches should always be marked with something Handicraft glue. Then glue the bottom to the lantern. Cut a strip from the Magic Star lantern foil at the desired height so that it fits completely once into the lantern. Bend it every 8.5 cm so that it forms a square. Leave a small glue tab from the protruding star foil, cut off the rest. Glue it together with double-sided Adhesive tape glue and stick it into the lantern
Attach a wire to the opening of the lantern as a suspension. To prevent the lantern from slipping back and forth while carrying, a loop can be turned in the middle of the suspension
Now place the light chain in the lantern
Note: The LED light chain has 3 switch-on possibilities: Press once for timer function, press twice for on and press 3 times for off. In the timer function, the light chain is lit for 6 hours and then switches off. After 18 hours it switches on again. This makes it ideal as a night light in the children's room
Shorten the beech round stick with the craft saw to approx. 25 cm. Wrap a plug wire or winding wire around one end of the stick. Bend another 12 cm of the wire from away and cut it off. Bend the end into a hook.
