Lantern Craft Making

The tradition of crafting and displaying of Chinese lanterns to celebrate festivals dates back to the Han Dynasty in China and are closely related to traditional Chinese culture and customs. In Singapore, lanterns are hung outside homes, temples and clan associations and included in lantern displays during celebrations like the Spring Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Discover the fun of crafting a lantern uniquely yours while celebrating the joyous spirit of the Festival.
