To make “aakash kandil,” which is a type of lantern made from paper, you will need the following materials.
- Colored or patterned tissue paper
- White glue
- A balloon
- Scissors
- A pen or pencil
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make an “aakash kandil”:
- Inflate the balloon to the desired size for your lantern.
- Cut the tissue paper into small squares or strips.
- Dab a small amount of glue onto the balloon, then press a piece of tissue paper onto the glue. Repeat this process until the entire surface of the balloon is covered with tissue paper.
- Once the tissue paper is dry, use the scissors to carefully cut a small opening at the top of the balloon.
- Insert a pen or pencil through the opening and use it to carefully pop the balloon.
- Once the balloon is popped, you should be able to pull it out through the opening you created. You should be left with a lantern shaped like a sphere, with the tissue paper forming the outer shell.
- If desired, you can hang the lantern using string or ribbon. To do this, tie a piece of string or ribbon around the opening at the top of the lantern.
