CNY lanterns

Recently (before chinese new year) I have been making lanterns out of red packets, as chinese new year is just around the corner. It is not that hard. All that is needed is some careful inspection on how others make them (and that is where i got these ideas from).

Here is a model I have been practicing

12 x 5 model

As you can tell from the name. This is a 12 sided lantern. On each side is a star made out of 4 red packets.

Fold the red packet diagonally at a 45 degree angle


Fold in the excess portion of the red packet
r

Fold in the excess triangular portion of the excess rectangular portion to make a triangle


Staple it to secure and then puff the triangle slightly outwards


There! A component is done. 59 left to go...Lets repeat. Snore...
--- --- --- --- ---

Now after many boring repeats, we have to combine them together.

Start by stapling the insides of two components to each other


Same thing for 5 times, and now we get a star

And then we staple the edges of the star to more stars. Each component should touch two others as the 'lattice' expands

Continue...

Done! Now all that is needed is to add a string, which I am far too lazy to do so.

The Lighthouse

Disclaimer: This piece of work is created by me, no part of it have been reproduced from other sources in the process.

After an hour and a half of working in microsoft paint, I finally completed this piece of art. What motivated me to do this? Boredom, and with some urge of mine to publish a little something more different from the rest of my posts.

Other than the solid sky background and lighthouse, coloured by a cheapskate method called fill, the rest are mainly completed with the spray brush tool.

The idea to create the clouds in such a manner with a slight 3d texture came to me when I realised that my sea looked more like blue balls of cotton than what it was supposed to be, when I sprayed a kaleidoscope of cool colours into it.

Connotation of clouds = cottom wool (Cool, 3 Cs in a sentence of 4 words. And cool starts with C too.)

Well, feel free to comment on it, and rate it too!
