Nostalgic reminders and a DIY handicraft for the lamp for Sint Maarten

Sint Maarten was in the year 1970 and heel bijzonders. Al weken van tevoren verzamelden we ons rond de keukentafel, omringd door doorschijnend paper en knutselmaterialen, vol wachting om lanterns te maken. The idea, seeds and lantern knutselen with the family, never brings any creativity, but also a bijzondere warmed and bonded heat, which ever still steeds kunt voelen. One of the most popular lanterns was the uilen lantern. Makkelijk om te maken, met a vriendelijk gezicht and a warm light from the above street.

DIY instructions: Uilenlampion zoals in de 70

For this lamp there are modern materials needed, there are a few simple things that you can make. The kiss is a nostalgic experience, which always comes across as a unique idea.

Required information:

• Leeg conservenblikje of eventueel a round cardboard base
• Colored doorschijnend paper (rood, yellow, orange and brown for the green)
• Cardboard box (for birds and snavel)
• Lijm en schar (schoollijm and a eenvoudige schar zijn great)
• Wire and a wooden floor (from the lampion with the dragen)
• The light of LED lights (for a better option)

Step-by-step instructions:

Prepare the base: Use the soil to conserve energy and have a good cut. A cardboard ring works well as a base. The look of the lamp is strong and is perfect for me to make.

The drawing of the device is made: Knip two large white circles for the eye on the board, smaller, black circles as pupils. The same thing comes from the front of the view, when the light comes out later. The eye comes from the snavel: a small snap is made from the cardboard and the plak in the middle.

Vleugels and veren toevoegen: Knip two ovale vleugels with the cardboard and versier ze. For the other poster, there is a round paper with a view, overlapping, which creates a beautiful look.

The lamp is attached: There is a wall on both sides of the door and the window can be seen on the wall. This is how you want to wear something that is warm and warm.

Lighting plaatsen: There is a light of a LED lamp in the lamp. In the donker zal je uil oplichten in a splendid manner!

The lantern option: a magical moment for the children

This great moment came when all the lanterns were clear and had been started. We lie hand in hand with each other, the lanterns weigh on the rite of one step and the colors dansten in the Koele Herfstlucht. The sound of the blades and the kraken sounds, and the overall sound of Sint Maarten songs. The stralende og van de uilenlampion remember ons eraan hoe despite we were op onze own creation.

After the optocht woke up on the other side: a large, warm pompoensoep, which after the house rook and once the hands warmed up. He was sea in a little time; It was a moment of seeding, when we printed the prints and even let them be painted. The sound was still there when you had a good night's sleep - not every time there was light and music, but the door was also very loud and the house was vast.

Conclusion: Tradition and succession

You have your own lamp to look at in the dome, but in the south of Sint Maarten. The maken and dragen of a zelfgemaakt lampion is a splendid manner from nostalgic traditions that are brought into the door. Of course, you now meet children's kisses of your own children's hearts and want to hear them - the light bulb will have a glow on your face and remind you of the warm, kisses that come from vroeger.
