Things Needed For Making DIY Christmas Crafts
- Colour paper
- Craft glue
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Needle
- Thread
Step By Step Procedure
Step 1
- We will take 2 coloured sheets of different colours: one yellow in colour and the other a dark green sheet to give contrast colours.
- On the green sheet, use a scale for measuring 2 cm and mark the points.
- Throughout the green sheet, mark points at a distance of 2 cm at opposite ends of the sheet throughout.
- Draw lines joining these 2 points. You need to draw lines throughout the sheet.
Step 2
- Mark points again of 1 cm distance on the lines such that the strips will decrease in size.
- Cut out the strips of different length and keep these strips aside.
- Follow the procedure with the yellow sheets as well and keep the yellow strips aside.
Step 3
- Take both the green and yellow strips and place it alternatively one after the other.
- Use a thread and needle and stitch the alternative strips together.
- Fold the strips together and stitch them, repeat the process similarly with 3-4 strips every time and stitch the whole of it.
- Apply some glue and paste the strips in the form of a shell.
- For hanging the lantern, take a long thread and stitch the thread from within so that you can hang it easily.
