Materials used: Construction paper, card stock, brass brads, paper straws, colored pencil, glue stick, hot glue, tape, and a small set of string lights. I was inspired by these dragon shaped paper lanterns I found on google, and wanted to put an Animal Crossing twist on it.
Drago really is the perfect representative for this event, so I chose to make my lantern in his likeness!
Drew up a template for his head and traced over it onto construction paper/card stock. Then I cut out the shapes and assembled him.
I cut this wall border to shape for the gold accents
I hot glued some paper straws inside to hold the tail and help Drago keep his shape, and of course one full straw is glued into the center piece to hold him by.

I have been loving all of these entries! I get excited every time I see there's a new post here. 
Here's my paper lantern. I drew a branch of a cherry blossom in colored pencils to give it a floral design 
It was really fun working on colored paper since I used the white colored pencil to my advantage.

Here's mine!
Here's my lantern entry. I love the designs of the paper lanterns so I decided to make my entry for it! 
(Here's what the red flower looks like.)
Materials used:
Now, for the additional commentary.
Honestly, I have the most fun on making the flower decoration portions of the lantern especially when it holds together. I really like the round lantern style so I made one especially the gold details in the lantern. The flowers are basically what I'm proud of the most.
The most "trial and error" part is trying to take a picture with it, since it can swing around at times. But in the end, I managed to take a picture of it.

My lantern! Made using cute holographic paper, washi tape, and more tape.
I based my lantern on the ingame st martens lanterns, since I grew up with those 
but i gave it a Japanese lunar new year twist!
The red one is the one I'm submitting, the rest was just for fun!
