VIDEO: How to make a frog lantern

Prepare the body of the frog

If you want to make a frog lantern, you should first make the basic shape of the frog:

1. To do this, start by inflating a balloon, which will later take on the basic shape of the frog.
2. After you've tied the balloon, the next thing you can do is tear up green tracing paper. The pieces of tracing paper do not have to be the same size.
3. So that the tracing paper now sticks to the balloon, you have to stir the wallpaper paste.
4. Now you can brush the transparent paper with the paste and then stick it all around the balloon. Glue several layers on top of each other for stability.

2. Then you need to draw 6 circles on yellow cardboard and then cut out both the green ovals and the yellow circles.
3. Now glue 3 circles each to the front piece of an oval.
4. Then you have to repeat the last 3 steps to make the frog's hands as well. However, the hands should be a little smaller than the feet.
5. After that, you need to glue a green pipe cleaner to each hand and foot.
6. Now pierce the balloon and then glue one hand to the basic shape in the middle on the right and left.
7. After that you have to glue the feet on the underside of the form.
8. Now cut open two more white circles and draw a black pupil in each circle.
9. You now have to glue the eyes on top of the green basic shape and paint a black, laughing mouth on them.
10. Poke two holes in the top of the shape to attach wire that you can use to hold the lantern stick later.
