Lantern making among the Chinese community has a long and colorful history that dates back to almost 2000 years and therefore this long lived tradition plays an important role among the Chinese. However Lantern making in ancient times was not as advanced and intricate as was once seen today. Back then, the designs and techniques used to craft Lanterns were simple. Contrary to this, today’s designs are large, complex and simply astonishing.
From miniature solar-powered lanterns to dangling cubic lighting, these vibrant lantern designs will make any outdoor event something to remember.
These are kinds of lanterns like:
- Jack O' Lantern. Jack-o'-lanterns can be carved to reflect everyone's unique personalities and interests. If you have kids, you can carve Disney characters, or, if you love the scary side of Halloween, you can carve scary faces.
- The Black Cat. This design can be a little difficult if you are motor skill challenged like myself, my suggestion is to draw it out on the pumpkin and use a small knife.
- POP CULTURE & SUPER ART. If you are a true artist you may be in the mood for more advanced pumpkin creations. Pop culture presents many subjects to carve like this R2D2 model. Others I've seen include Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, even music themed kiss Jack-O-Lanterns
- Colonial Candle Lanterns. These lanterns are made from cooper with a handle attached. The handle is very useful for carrying a light source from one location to another. It also provides the pioneers with a means of hanging the lanterns up so that light will illuminate the entire environment.
-Candle Lanterns. Candle lanterns are extensively used to enhance the lavishness of home interiors. They have become a mainstream decoration accessory improving the look and feel of homes when positioned with precision.
- Railroad Lanterns. Railroad lanterns were used by the workers of the rails to communicate with each other as they went about their daily pursuit of running the railroad line.
-Chinese Hanging Lanterns. Although Chinese lanterns were predominantly used at important parts of the year for celebrations, they are more than just decorative pieces. Since 250 B.C. hanging lanterns have symbolised important events such as birth, death, imminent danger and even social status.

Whether you choose the design for your lighting, make it sure that it will be look wonderful for you indoor or outdoor.
