Pasos a seguir

Inflate the balloon. Cut out the crepe paper in rectangles of about 5 cm x 3 cm. Glue parts of the balloon and cover them with overlapped pieces of paper

Cover the entire balloon except for the top part. Repeat the operation until you get between two and four coats of paper

Hang the balloon and wait until it is well dried. Then burst it and remove it carefully in order not to damage the lantern.

Equal the lantern’s rim with the scissors. Cut out the eyes, nose and mouth.

Put the yogurt container on the lantern with a small candle on it. The pumpkin will light by transparency.
