I don't know how they are made and have not tried to duplicate them. Note: I have also seen sky lantern burners, which resemble fiber-reinforced blocks of wax.
Maybe the young Chinese lady who made this one was wearing some fragrant perfume.) (The cloth/paper burner smells "nice," sort of like the scent of roses. In between each Z-fold of the waxed cloth are five 2.25" x 3" pieces of thin, coarse-fiber paper, about the weight of 40# kraft paper. The burner is composed of a 2.5" x 17" piece of wax-impregnated cloth, folded in Z-fashion back on itself 5 times. Original Sky Lantern Burner, Which Weighs 0.9 Ounce, Including Wire X of wire is "woven" through waxed cloth and paper "burner" Sky Lantern Autopsy A little reverse engineering revealed:Ġ.3 ounces (with a little paper and glue still hanging onto it) I'll note these as I go along in this hot paper tale. But, as with any pyro project, I learned some lessons the hard way, and I had some significant failures. Note: I'm gonna tell you how I ended up successfully making these homemade paper hot-air balloons.
#CHINESE LANTERN WALMART HOW TO#
So, now, back to my original quest: How to make sky lanterns.
The Next Generation of Gorskis with Paper Hot Air Balloons My son and his family came over last Sunday, and I knew I just had to demonstrate these new toys for my grandsons. Then I quickly got another one out and launched it as well. And, the three of us really did have fun watching it lift off, and then gazing at it for minutes until it flew out of sight and we couldn't see it any more. I enjoyed finding out how to light the paper lantern, and how to let it inflate and launch it. I opened the package up, looked at the treetops to make sure there wasn't too much wind blowing, and I hustled my wife and granddaughter outside to fire the first one up. By the time they arrived on my doorstep, I was excited to see them. So, I had Harry send some of the flying lanterns to me. I watch This Old House and The New Yankee Workshop, just to see how they do stuff, even though I've been doing that kind of work myself for a living for 30 years. But, honestly I never gave them much thought, and I wasn't much tempted to buy any.īut, then I saw the latest Skylighter ad for them, and I thought, "I wonder how sky lanterns are made." Ya see, one of the things I enjoy most is learning how something is made. Have seen them at displays and club events. I've seen 'em advertised right here by Skylighter. I gotta admit, I've seen sky lanterns around for several years.
