You can find the step-by-step tutorial here: Step 1: Make Paper Balloon The paper balloon is made using rice papers,bu er paper, kite paper or tracing paper. Bu er paper works best as it has good tensile strength which prevents the paper from tearing and is easy to handle.

Step 2: Making the rim of the balloon The open end of the balloon is stuck with a bamboo ring to a ache the fuel.

Its a very eco-friendly and beautiful way of celebrating the festival of lights. You can watch the video of launching Sky lanterns here:
