Write an article based on this "Make two paper circles. Make a hole. Complete the other circle."
Using any round object, trace a circle on two pieces of paper and cut them out with scissors. Make sure the two circles are the same approximate size.  You can use any size circle. Just remember that the bigger the circle, the bigger the lantern. You can use a plate, the lid off a tub of ice cream, the bottom of a bucket, or any other round object. You can also use any kind of paper you want: regular white printer paper, colored cardstock, decorative patterned paper, etc. Cut off a tiny bit on the point of the triangle, making a hole in the center of the paper. Repeat steps 2-6 on the second circle that you cut out so that you end up with two identical cut-up circles.
