How do you make lantern using recycled materials?

You can easily make a lantern from a used piece of paper. Turn it over to the blank side and draw a design if you wish. Then, fold it in half lengthwise, and make a series of slits about an inch apart across the fold. Then, unfold the piece of paper, and form a circle with the paper, this time holding it horizontally. Tape the circle closed, and fluff your slits so they are more pronounced and it is possible to see through them. Then, put your lantern aroud a light source.
