Actually I was looking for some good paper crafts for Chinese New Year’s theme for quite a number of days. Found an Ox papercraft since this year is the year of the ox, but unfortunately, I’ve forgotten the site. How silly of me ^^;;; So as a replacement, I will just post this tutorial I found on a self-made lantern. It’s actually for kids: years 8 and up. And do not forget to check my paper craft collection and another post on paper lantern origami tutorial.

This tutorial is prepared by Sherri Osborn in her familycraft section. Yea, There are a lot more tutorial can be found on the site and I’ll make sure to make review about their work pretty soon. For this nice paper craft, you only need to prepare a piece of paper, pencil, ruler and stapler. Then you are ready to follow the tutorial. Yes, step by step tutorials with image. And after a second thought, I think this lantern paper craft also look good for chinese new year decoration. Ok, Learn how to make chinese lantern papercraft for chinese new year here.
