In Wenchang, people usually "send lights" to celebrate and express their wishes and expectations, a tradition dating back more than 100 years.When evening falls, the lanterns are lit. 14 (Xinhua) - Holding a small steel file in one calloused hand and a hammer in the other, Zou Hongda finished a thick pile of paper-cutting artwork after a few knocks with his trusty tool.Zou, 73, has been making festive lanterns for over 40 years in Baiyan Village of Wenchang City, south China's Hainan Province.The typical structure of the traditional handicraft includes lanterns with auspicious Chinese characters such as "Fu" and "Xi," which mean fortune and happiness.The Lantern Festival, which falls on Tuesday this year, is the climactic end to the Chinese New Year holiday. Tie these legs to the body, and hang the spider on string or monofilament outside.46oYsiVDsfu go. article Handicrafter's 40 years of persistence lights up Lantern Festival /e3pmh1tuv/ed6gjo5k9 HAIKOU, Feb. Finish up by repeating the process with two more sets of legs.
Place the two sets together, with twisted centers interlocking the balloons should hold. Then twist one set of legs in the center of the longest segment hold it in place, and twist a second set in the same place. Repeat this process with three more balloons. Repeat twice more to make four short segments and four knees, with one long section in the center, since air will shit into the tail as you work. Move up another few inches, and repeat to make another knee. Bring the two twists together, and grab the resulting bubble with one hand and twist, which should lock the twists together. Make one set of legs: Starting a few inches from the neck, twist a balloon, holding it place, and move about 1 inch along the ballon and twist again.
Tie the balloons together at the ends with thread or monofilament using a balloon pump, inflate four long, skinny balloons, leaving a 3-inch "tail" at the end of each. To begin, inflate two round balloons, one slightly less than the other (the larger will be the abdomen and the smaller will be the head). Wrap the end of the final braid into a loop and secure it with wire.Ī trio of creepy-crawly spiders with plump balloon bodies and spindly legs hovers over unsuspecting trick-or-treaters. Continue the braid with additional husks, then repeat with one last round of three ears of corn. Finally, add three more ears of corn by braiding sections of the husk from each ear around the wire. Add three additional pieces of husk to continue the braid continue adding husks and braiding until the braid is a couple of inches longer than an ear of corn. Using sections of husk from that ear and two other ears, braid husks around wire to all three ears. Next, wrap one end of wire roll around the stem of one ear of corn.
Working in a well-ventilated area, spray-paint the corn with your choice of black paint before letting it dry completely and removing the paper towels. Wrap a paper towel around the husks on each ear secure with tape. To begin, soak ears of corn and their husks in water for about two minutes, then the attached husks around the stem of each ear. What has nine ears and a limitless amount of rustic charm? This fall craft project, of course.
