Instructions

Fold a piece of red construction paper in half. Cut into the fold to make strips. Do not cut all the way through. See photo below. Open up. Roll in the opposite direction and glue. Cut a strip of paper for a hanger. Glue in place. Print two pages of the Chinese symbols provided. Cut out. You will need a total of eight circles. Cut four pieces of ribbon in varying lengths from 8" to 12". Glue two symbols together back to back with the end of a piece of ribbon sandwiched between. Repeat three times so you have four danglers for your mobile. Glue the danglers up inside the bottom of lantern. Decorate the lantern with additional pieces of gold ribbon.
