1. Use the ruler to measure one inch of the short side of the paper and cut it. Set this part aside as this will be used as the handle for the lantern.
2. Fold the paper in half along its length. Draw a line one inch from the edges of the longer side of the paper.
3. Now cut along the marked lines and unfold the paper. Re-fold the paper in the opposite direction to hide the markings.
4. Now roll the paper so that the two ends match the two long edges of the paper and staple them together.

Materials
A paper lantern can be made using any materials you have at home or you may want to go out and buy something you really like. Your shopping depends on what kind of lantern you want to make as well as the size of the final product. Basically the materials needed to make any paper lantern are paper, glue, paper clips, scissors, a cutter, sellotape and a stapler. Intricate designs will need several more materials depending upon the type of paper lantern that you wish to produce. To make the lantern more attractive you may opt for glitter, sequins and other decorative materials.
