Lunar New Year Lanterns
Make & Do
Happy Lunar New Year!
You can celebrate this event with your Bingsters by making some beautiful Bing-themed Lunar New Year lanterns. These colorful lanterns are easy to put together and perfect for decorating...
You will need:
- Construction paper (You could use Bing’s colors - red, green, black and yellow - and sparkly pink for Sula)
- Stapler
- Safety scissors
- An eraser
- A ruler
- Pens, pencils, stickers, glitter or anything your Bingster wants to decorate with.
Instructions:
- Place your paper lengthwise and cut off a 3/4 inch strip at the end. You can use this later as your lantern handle.
- Now turn your paper the other way around and draw a line 3/4 inch in on either side. If you use pencil you’ll be able to erase these later.
- Your Bingster can decorate the lantern making it all bright and colorful. Try adding glitter or gold and silver pens for some extra New Year sparkle!
- After your Bingster has finished decorating, fold the paper in half lengthwise.
- You can now take your safety scissors and cut fringes into the folded sheet, stopping where you have drawn your pencil line.
- Unfold and erase the pencil lines.
- Fold your card horizontally into a cylinder and staple it together at the top and bottom. (Please make sure this is done by a grown-up). Your lovely lantern is starting to take shape!
- You can staple the extra handle strip in place at the top of the lantern.
- Now it’s time to hang up your lanterns and start celebrating Lunar New Year with Bing!
