Lanterne realizzate riciclando i cartoni per la pizza da asporto e le bottiglie di plastica, per san Martino e non solo…
Questi sono esempi di lanterne realizzate coi cartoni da pizza, un normale foglio A4 e dei pezzetti di carta velina:

Queste lanterne invece sono realizzate utilizzando le bottiglie di plastica:

Per le prime lanterne, in pochi minuti, si fa così:
Io ho usato un contenitore da pizza, (con evidenti tracce di pizza) ritagliando dal bordo il rinforzo per la parte superiore della lanterna, e poi la sagoma per il fondo:




per le pareti della lanterna va benissimo un normale foglio bianco A3. Il bambino può disegnare ciò che desidera, oppure si può semplicemente colorare con i pastelli a cera

si ritagliano delle aperture (le foglie sono la forma più semplice, ma ci si può sbizzarrire con stelline, pallini o quello che si vuole…


poi ci sono due possibilità: usare il foglio così com’è, oppure trattarlo con un batuffolo di cotone imbevuto di olio (la carta risulta più forte e trasparente, e leggermente impermeabile, in caso di pioggia)

sul retro del foglio si incollano dei pezzi di carta velina colorata a coprire i fori


poi si graffetta il fondo e il bordo superiore, e la lanterna è pronta.




Per le seconde lanterne, così:






…e con tutti gli avanzi:





Easy, fast, recycled lantens made with cartoons for pizza takeaway and plastic bottles.
These are examples of lanterns made with boxes of pizza, a normal A4 paper and pieces of tissue paper:

These lanterns instead are made using plastic bottles:

Easy, fast, recycled lantens
For the first lanterns, in a few minutes, do this:
I used a box of pizza, (with evident traces of pizza), I cut from the edge the reinforcement for the top of the lantern, and then the shape for the bottom:




for the walls of the lantern is fine a normal white sheet A3. The child can draw what he wants, or he can simply coloring with wax pastels:

Cut a few openings in the shape of leaf, star, ball, etc…


then there are two possibilities: use the paper as is, or treat it with a cotton ball soaked in oil (the paper will become stronger and more transparent, and slightly waterproof in case of rain):

on the back side glue pieces of colored tissue paper to cover the holes:


then staple the bottom and the top edge, and the lantern is ready.




For the second lanterns, do this:






… and with all the leftovers:
