Making the Body of the Lantern

- Using the scissors, cut slits starting from the folded side and continue cutting until you are about an inch away from the edge. You have the flexibility to make the strips as wide or thin as you prefer.
- Unfold the paper and, on each slit, write something that you do that is courageous. For example: “I stand up for others” or “I voice my thoughts” or “I try out for the spelling bee.” Choose any activity that makes you feel confident and brave.
- Tape or glue the edges of the paper together, forming a cylinder shape with the slits going up and down the length of the lantern.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
-
Q: Can I use different materials to make the lantern?
A: While we recommend using colorful construction paper, you can get creative and experiment with other materials such as colored cardstock or even recycled materials like old magazines or newspapers. Just make sure the material is sturdy enough to hold the lantern’s shape. -
Q: Can I customize the size of the lantern?
A: Absolutely! Feel free to adjust the size of the construction paper before folding it to create a larger or smaller lantern. However, keep in mind that if you make it too small, it may be challenging to write on the slits. -
Q: How can I hang the lantern securely?
A: You can use a string or ribbon to hang the lantern from a hook or any other appropriate hanging mechanism. Make sure it is securely fastened to prevent accidental falls. Be cautious and avoid hanging it in areas with high foot traffic or where it may be easily knocked over. -
Q: Can I write on the lantern with markers?
A: Yes, you can use markers to write on the slits of the lantern. We recommend using permanent markers or markers that dry quickly to prevent smudging.
