Introduction:
Christmas lanterns or Parol are very popular in the Philippines. They are usually star-
shaped lanterns with different sizes and shapes, embellished with whatever makes
them standout. Some use plain Japanese paper, cellophane paper, crepe paper, shells,
plastic or glass.
Parol often symbolizes hope. Just like when the shepherds followed the star in
Bethlehem with the hope that they will see the King. Jesus is indeed the hope of all for
he is the Savior, the one who came to save all men from sin. For the Filipinos, the Parol
also means hope. Even when the country has been through a lot of disasters or run
down by strong typhoons, still you will see lighted Christmas lanterns hanging on
windows comes December or even sooner.
This is a lens on how to make a Christmas lantern using recycled materials. Not only it
is economical, but it is also environment-friendly as it uses recycled objects.

Materials
 Ready-made star skeleton (as provided)
 Plastic bottles of C2 Solo
 glue gun (or candle) and glue stick
 Elmer’s glue or any liquid glue

 plastic spoons
 paper cups
 used papers/newspapers

Instructions
1. Wrap the star skeleton with a yellow cellophane.
2. Decorate it with all the art materials stated in the materials needed for this project.
3. After decorating the star, arrange five plastic bottles and put it in each side of the
lantern, so that you form a five-pointed star.
4. Then, using the glue gun and glue stick, glue the other bottles together to form a
circle. Make sure that they hold together.
5. Cut out circles from the colored paper, magazine, holiday paper or newspaper.
Make circles double the number of the bottles used in the star. Then, glue each
circle to the bottle's top and bottom end. If you can think of other appropriate
designs, then do it by all means. Just be creative.
6. Lastly, use either the gold or silver foil paper or both if you wish to make tails for the
star. Cut the paper with a dimension of 5 inches by 15 inches (or whatever length
you like). Then cut into 1/2 inch strips lengthwise but leave a 1/2 inch on top uncut.
Then, fold the paper lengthwise according to the width of the strips and secure
together with an adhesive tape. Make 2 of these tails and stick one each to the 2
lower points of the star.
7. Add more decorations if needed.
