steps;

  • make cut side patterns of boxes and motifs of course using ballpoint pens and ruler
  • cut patterns using paper cutters / paper scissors
  • paste the motif using transparent color paper to let light out, then glue
  • unite all sides of the box
  • glue the bottle caps on the middle for a wax pad so the lantern's base does not burn
  • tape the wax with the attached bottle cap
  • the last is light the candle

good luck and inspiration!
