For the lantern parade, the lantern should be as unusual as possible. This rocket lantern is just the thing. With our instructions and the free motif template, you too can make this impressive lantern. You will definitely make the children's eyes light up.

Make a rocket

Punch out stars from holographic cardboard and glue them onto a sheet of tracing paper.

Glue the tracing paper to the top and bottom of the lantern lid and base.

Cut a cardboard roll into thirds and glue grey foam rubber around it. Also stick the foam rubber around the lantern lid and base.

Stick 1 cm wide strips of crepe paper on the inside of the cut cardboard rolls for the fire jets. Now the jets are ready.

Print out the free motif template and transfer the motifs (B+C) onto the red foam rubber. Cut out all 6 parts and glue two parts (B+C) together. Now fix them to the lantern with glue.

Now transfer the template for the cone (A), which represents the tip of the rocket, onto the holographic cardboard and cut it to size.

Mirror the template to the left at the folded edge so that you have a semicircle on the cardboard. The glued edge is not mirrored!

Slightly score the glued edge with a cutter so that it can be folded easily. Glue the cone together at the glued edge.

Glue the light chain from the inside into the cone by fixing it with hot glue.
To hang the lantern stick, attach the lantern bow to the top from the inside. Bend the bow so that it peeks out through the opening of the cone at the top.

Fix the cone to the lantern with hot glue.

Make a hatch out of transparent paper and foam rubber using the template (D) and glue it to the top.

Finally, glue the nozzles to the base of the lantern.
