Manufacturing method of ice lamp

Ice lantern is a unique folk art form in northern China, which originated in Heilongjiang Province and is a manifestation of ice sculpture. The early ice lanterns were lighting tools for farmers in Songnen Plain and fishermen in Songhua River Basin in winter. Later, it gradually developed into an art form and became popular in northern China. The annual Harbin Ice Lantern Festival is a master of China ice lantern art, attracting many tourists to watch it.

There are many ways to make ice lanterns. Share three things I have done:

Method 1:

Clean the glass, and then pour in the right amount of water, accounting for about two-thirds of the glass.

Add a proper amount of salt and stir well until the salt is completely dissolved. The purpose of this is to make the water transparent and increase the effect of the ice lamp.

Cut colored paper into various shapes, such as flowers and stars.

Ice lanterns can be placed indoors or outdoors, and candles can be lit inside to increase brightness.

Method 2:

Use a washbasin, washbasin, lunch box or bucket at home as a mold and fill it with water.

Leave the mold outside and freeze it for several hours. When the water near the basin wall and bucket wall freezes to the thickness of a fist, pour out the remaining water inside.

Bring the pots and barrels into the house and buckle them upside down on the ground. In a short time, the ice will be separated from the container.

Move such an ice sheet outside the house, you can put it on the ground alone, or pile it up one by one, and then light candles inside, and the ice lamp will be finished.

Method 3:

Prepare some materials: transparent glass bottle, water, salt, color film, LED light string.

Wash the glass bottle, and then pour in the right amount of water, accounting for about two-thirds of the bottle.

Add a proper amount of salt and stir well until the salt dissolves.

Cut the color film into various shapes and put it in water.

Put a small LED string in the bottle.

Seal the bottle, and then put the whole device in the refrigerator for freezing.

After freezing for a period of time, take out the ice lamp and put it indoors or outdoors.

The effect of ice lanterns made by different methods will be different, so you can choose the method that suits you according to your personal preference and actual situation. At the same time, we should also pay attention to safety issues, especially when using open flames such as candles to prevent fire accidents.
