Rabbit Lantern

We did this project last December and I guess it is very appropriate for our Easter-Spring Art Project Theme for this month. Here, let me show you our very own Rabbit Lantern again.

I just can't show the step by step illustration of our rabbit because it is quite complicated and it has so many details.

Using a copper wire we hold it and shape it like a rabbit. This will serve as the frame or the skeleton.

Then we cover it with Japanese Paper to make it translucent from the inside.

We cut small pieces of Japanese paper to make it looks like fur.

Adding more colors will make the rabbit more appealing.

Then we added small pen lights inside. We didn't use candle because it is quite risky and flammable.

Here i made a small wagon decorated by Poinsettia flowers. You can also use other flower decors.

Then add some colorful details in the rabbit. We used pink for the ears, added carrots and reading glass.

The Rabbit lantern is actually worth P250- 300. And has one light only.
Here are the Items that we used and their prices
Copper Wire P25
10 pcs assorted Japanese Papers P20
Glue P15
2 Pen lights P40
3 Red Blinkers P15
the rest are recycled
All in all we spent P120

Have a Happy Easter Art making Project guys!

The Rabbit Lantern Parade.

Here's the most exciting part! The Lantern Parade!!! The parade is divided into three category. the first is the Rabbit Lantern (open for preschoolers and elementary students); the Second is the Star Lantern Parade (For High School) and the last one is the "Bangenge" Parade (open for everyone). Will discuss about the Bangenge soon..

The Rabbit Lantern is open for all Elementary students. All Elementary students were gathered from different schools. It is actually an individual competition and at the same time it is also a schools competition because at the end of the parade, the winner entry for the Lantern Parade will be declared so as the Best School presentation. Each school has their own gimmick. See the MRES in milzon's t-shirt? (you can also check it here). The MRES Stands for Manuel Rojas Elementary School and this is the school where Milzon is in. Mirasol and I were from here too!

Here's Milzon and our Rabbit Lantern Entry.

Aside from the T-shirt, each students from MRES are required to wear this cute rabbit head gear. Actually Milzon hates it because it is too girly LOL

And so here he is!!

Here's one of the Rabbit Entries. I like this one because it was neatly done however since they The rabbit is not actually a lantern because they didn't put any light on it and since they paint it with gray, even they put lights inside, it will not be as translucent as the others.

See the Pink eared Rabbit? So cute isn't. By the way, the big girl on the front is Milzon's Teacher. Ma'm Naneth.

Mom made it on time!

Milzon again!

The closer look.

See that girl in the middle? She's Eliza and guess what? She's Milzon's crush haha and we used to tease him on that girl.

I love this entry. The owner of these two rabbit are twins so they make twin rabbits too! Haha actually i noticed that the girls are wearing the same clothes and shoes. So cute!

The twin Rabbits at a closer look.

Some of the kids took some Ice cream break while their on the parade.. Mommies are so busy taking care of their kids too.

Another look to our Rabbit Entry.

This one looks so scary but done very creatively. Look at the improvised Wheels....

Speaking of scary, we saw a giant Rabbit Lantern too!It will definitely swallow the kids whole LOL

Oh my... it was very detailed... I must salute whoever behind this rabbit.

Okay we're done with the Rabbit Parade. I will post about the Star Parade in my nxt entry so as the Bangenge Parade.
