中國人通常在屋子里掛燈籠過元宵（the Lantern Festival）。自制紙燈籠只需要彩色硬紙、剪刀和膠水（construction paper, a pair of scissors and glue）。首先，將一張長方形的（rectangular）紙對折，從對折線往開口處，每隔4厘米剪開一直線。每次不要剪到底，留邊約2厘米。然后打開硬紙，將紙卷成圓筒狀（cylinder），接著在兩條短邊上涂好膠水后把它們黏在一起。最后，剪下長12厘米、寬1厘米的一硬紙條做燈籠柄，并把剪好的紙條黏在燈籠上端的內(nèi)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.
