This year the mooncake festival falls on 14th Sep and fortunately i have the chance to go back to my hometown to celebrate with my mum. Everytime when im back to Ipoh to celebrate Mooncake Festival i sure play lantern and candles. Ok i know im OLD but who cares i still young at heart :p.
This year actually i do not have intention to make any lantern rather buy at shopping market but somehow i have an idea of making my own lantern. Since i never throw away my water bottles for almost 2 months and this give me inspioration of making small lanterns. So let me show you all how to make a cheap yet nice lantern :p
1st prepare table tea candle
2nd cut a 1.5L water bottle into half and put the candle inside
Wa la ... a small lantern is created :p
Err ... too dark cant see a thing, ok let me light up the candle
Deng .. deng .. deng (with flash) A total of 40 homemade lanterns and 8 paper lanterns are being used.
