Paper lanterns

How it is done:

Cover the work area and lay out the materials.
Paint the paper lanterns when they are unfolded. Start with the first DO IT color. It is best to apply a thin layer to the lantern.
Gradually use different colors and paint the lantern with different geometric and organic shapes.
These can be circles, triangles, rings, half rings, curved lines, abstract flowers or clouds, and more.
The lanterns can also be painted in evenly spaced stripes. For example, start with the first color from the top opening.
Stripes are then placed in the spaces in another row using a different color. The pattern can be continued in this way, with the stripes narrowing again towards the bottom.
