中国人通常在屋子里挂灯笼过元宵（the Lantern Festival）。自制纸灯笼只需要彩色硬纸、剪刀和胶水（construction paper, a pair of scissors and glue）。首先，将一张长方形的（rectangular）纸对折，从对折线往开口处，每隔4厘米剪开一直线。每次不要剪到底，留边约2厘米。然后打开硬纸，将纸卷成圆筒状（cylinder），接着在两条短边上涂好胶水后把它们黏在一起。最后，剪下长12厘米、宽1厘米的一硬纸条做灯笼柄，并把剪好的纸条黏在灯笼上端的内沿上。
Chinese people always celebrate the Lantern Festival by hanging up Chinese lanterns in the house. Construction paper, a pair of scissors and glue are all things you need for DIY of a paper lantern. First, fold a rectangular piece of paper in half, and cut along the folded edge every 4 cm. Don’t cut all the way to the edge of the paper, leaving about 2 cm at the top of each cut. Next, unfold the paper, and roll it into a cylinder. Then apply glue along the short edges and press the paper together. Last, make the handle of the lantern by cutting a strip of construction paper 12 cm long and 1 cm wide, and glue the strip cut-out to the inside edges of the lantern’s top margin.
