From the variety of collected leaves, choose the ones you like the most and place them on the film. Then we coat each leaf with glue and fix it on film. If the glue has dried sufficiently and the leaves are firmly attached to the base, take the second film and squeeze it into a tight ball. This is done to achieve the effect of crinkled rice paper inherent in Chinese and Japanese lanterns.Autumn crafts with your own hands from the leaves.

Measure the distance between the candle mounts and in the center of the base of our lantern, pierce two holes with the same distance with an awl. Insert the fastener into the base and press it together, as shown in the photo below. Using double-sided tape, wrap the edge at the base, and then trim off the excess. We gradually fix the main part of the flashlight onto the same tape, while unscrewing the tape. In the same way we secure the upper part of the canvas to the upper rim.Autumn crafts with your own hands from the leaves. Photo №6 Autumn crafts with your own hands from the leaves.

In accordance with our author's idea, we tie our flashlight with yarn and bast. We fix the slings and decorative beads with glue.
