Check the edges.
Are there any bent or damaged areas?
Draw a line with a ruler and cut that off first to create straight edges on all sides.

Create 6 pieces of “H”.
Draw lines equidistant around each hole to form a “H”, as shown here.
Cut with scissors or blade and remove only one side of the centre flap.
Fold the other side of the flap downwards towards the back of the cardboard.

Join sides to form a circle.
The taped sides should be on the inside of lantern.
Stand lantern once all sides are taped together.
Bend the flap inwards towards the centre of lantern.
This form the holder for base of the lantern.

Create base of lantern.
Find a round object, example, a cover or plate, large enough to sit on the base holder.
This is a cover from a container of margarine I bought. It is a perfect size for my lantern.
Try to keep covers of food containers for craft projects.

Check for size.
Put the cover or plate onto the base of the lantern.
Make sure that it is large enough to hold the hexagon shape in place.

Cut out cupboard for base.
Place the cover or plate on another piece of cardboard.
Draw a circle around it. I managed to find a
cupboard with a circle already cut into it.
I placed the cover at its centre before I drew a circle.
Cut this circle out.
