Offert à une amie passionnée par la Chine. Elle a adoré monter ce cheval traditionnel. Le rendu est magnifique, comme une pièce de musée.
My kids (7 and 10) loved making this with me. Took about 7 hours, but the result is beautiful. A great way to teach them about Chinese culture. Highly recommend!
Ich bin begeistert von diesem DIY-Laternen-Set! Die Verarbeitung der Bambusteile ist präzise, und die Anleitung ist auch für Nicht-Chinesen gut verständlich (viele Bilder!). Der Zusammenbau hat mich etwa 4 Stunden entspanntes Basteln gekostet. Das fertige Pferd sieht elegant und hochwertig aus – viel schöner als die üblichen Plastikdekorationen. Eine perfekte Dekoration für das Jahr des Pferdes 2026. Wer traditionelles Handwerk liebt, wird dieses Set lieben.
I've bought many DIY craft kits online, and the quality varies wildly. This one is top-tier. The bamboo strips are uniform and flexible without being brittle, the paper is high-quality rice paper with a nice texture. Everything was clearly labeled in separate bags. The final product looks exactly like the product photos—no disappointment here. It's clear that a lot of thought went into designing this kit. If you're on the fence, just buy it. You won't regret it.
I bought this for my 9-year-old son who loves arts and crafts, and we spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon building it together. The instructions are picture-based and easy to follow, even for a child. He needed some help with the bamboo bending parts, but he did most of the paper cutting and assembly himself. It's so rare to find a craft kit that combines fun with cultural education. Now he understands how traditional Chinese lanterns are made! We'll definitely make this a yearly tradition for each zodiac. Highly recommend for parents looking for screen-free activities.
Let me start by saying: this is not a 10-minute craft. It requires patience, steady hands, and attention to detail. I consider myself an intermediate crafter, and it took me a good 5 hours to finish. There were moments I had to redo some bamboo joints, but the instructions were clear enough to guide me through. The sense of accomplishment when I finally lit it up was incredible! It looks like a museum piece. A few tips: set aside a dedicated workspace, have some tweezers handy for small parts, and take your time with the paper gluing. Absolutely worth it for the final result.
My friend is extremely fascinated by Eastern culture, so I gave her a DIY lantern set as a Christmas present. When she opened the package, she screamed with excitement! Throughout that week, she kept sending me photos of the making process - the materials were of high quality, and the bamboo frame felt very textured, unlike those cheap plastic products. She said the assembly process had a "healing" effect. Now, this completed horse has become the focal decorative item in her living room, and every time there are guests visiting, they would ask about its origin. If you want to find a unique and meaningful gift for someone who appreciates craftsmanship, then this is definitely a great choice.
I’m not usually one for DIY projects, but the 2026 connection intrigued me, and I’m so glad I tried it. The lantern is absolutely stunning when finished—the horse’s silhouette is graceful, and the paper has a subtle texture that catches the light. Assembly was straightforward; I spent a quiet evening with tea and music, and it felt like a meditation. I now have it on a shelf with a small candle inside, and it’s become a focal point of my home. Guests often ask about its story, which gives me a chance to share a bit about Chinese New Year traditions.
My niece is obsessed with horses and loves crafts, so this lantern was the perfect birthday gift. She spent the weekend assembling it with her mom, sending me photos of each step. The final result is a beautiful horse lantern that now sits on her nightstand—she insists on turning it on every night before bed. The materials are durable, and the instructions are child-friendly with adult supervision. A thoughtful gift that combines creativity, culture, and her favorite animal.
This lantern kit is beautifully designed, but I’ll caution that it’s not a quick project. The paper pieces require careful handling, and the gluing takes patience. I used a fine-tip glue applicator and tweezers for the smaller details. It took me about 4 hours total, but the end result is museum-quality. The horse has a dynamic energy—almost like it’s in motion. I’ve added a warm LED light, and it casts lovely shadows. Perfect for experienced crafters who enjoy detailed work.
I hosted a small Lunar New Year gathering and wanted a centerpiece that would stand out. This horse lantern was perfect. I assembled it the week before, and it was a hit with all my guests. They loved the story behind the “Jiliang” design and kept asking where they could get one. The lantern is sturdy enough to handle being moved around, and it looks beautiful both lit and unlit. A wonderful conversation starter and a unique way to celebrate.
J’ai offert ce kit à ma belle-sœur pour le Nouvel An chinois. Elle a adoré le réaliser avec sa fille de huit ans. Le cheval est magnifique, avec une élégance qui rappelle les peintures traditionnelles. Les matériaux sont de bonne qualité, et les instructions sont très claires. Une fois montée, la lanterne éclaire doucement leur salon et apporte une touche de chaleur. C’est à la fois une activité manuelle enrichissante et un bel objet décoratif. Un cadeau qui a su toucher deux générations à la fois.
Ich habe diese Laterne für meine Enkelin gekauft, die im Jahr des Pferdes geboren wurde. Wir bauten sie gemeinsam auf – es war eine wunderbare Gelegenheit, ihr etwas über die chinesische Kultur zu erzählen. Das Pferd ist wunderschön gearbeitet, mit fließenden Linien und einer lebendigen Ausstrahlung. Die Anleitung ist klar und gut bebildert. Die fertige Laterne steht nun in ihrem Zimmer und wird abends eingeschaltet. Ein Kunstwerk, das Verbundenheit schafft.
Quand j'ai trouvé ce kit DIY, je n'ai pas hésité une seconde. Le montage demande de la patience et de la délicatesse, mais quelle satisfaction quand on allume la petite LED à l'intérieur ! La lumière passe à travers le papier comme dans un vrai lampion chinois. C'est à la fois une activité relaxante et un objet décoratif unique. Je l'ai offert à ma mère d'origine chinoise et elle a été très émue. Un magnifique hommage à l'artisanat traditionnel.
I’ve been eagerly awaiting the Year of the Horse, and this lantern kit was the perfect way to welcome it. The “Jiliang” design is stunning—the horse has an almost mythical presence, with flowing mane and elegant posture. The DIY materials are high-quality: sturdy paper, well-cut wooden frames, and clear instructions. It took me about 3 hours to assemble, and the result is a lantern that glows warmly with a tea light inside. I’ve hung it by my window, and neighbors have stopped to admire it. A beautiful way to honor tradition while creating something with my own hands.
Die Bambusteile sind hochwertig, die Anleitung klar. Perfekt für das Jahr des Pferdes 2026!
Ho acquistato questo kit per me, attratta dal simbolismo del cavallo, che rappresenta forza e determinazione. La lavorazione è stata piacevole, con materiali di qualità e istruzioni chiare. Ci ho messo circa tre ore, ma ne è valsa la pena: la lanterna finita è elegante e, accesa, crea un’atmosfera magica. Ora la tengo sul comodino e la accendo ogni sera. Un modo semplice e bello per portare un po’ di cultura cinese nella mia vita quotidiana.
I bought this on a whim and ended up falling in love with the process. The horse has such character—I named mine “Jiliang” after the original. It took me about 3.5 hours, and I felt so proud when I finished. I placed a small fairy light inside, and it glows softly. It’s now a permanent part of my bookshelf decor. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a creative escape.
The DIY kit is high quality, easy to follow, and the finished lantern looks stunning on my shelf. Worth every penny!
I was a little intimidated by the kit, but the instructions made it easy. The paper is sturdy, and everything fit together well. I hung it near my window, and my cat loves watching the shadows move. A lovely way to celebrate the Year of the Horse without going over the top. Will definitely buy more from this collection.
I’ve been living away from my family for years, and celebrating Chinese New Year alone always felt a bit sad. This lantern kit gave me a way to connect with tradition in my own small apartment. Assembling it was soothing, and when I lit it for the first time, I felt a sense of warmth and continuity. The horse motif is powerful—symbolizing strength and progress. I now keep it on my desk year-round as a reminder of where I come from. A simple but profound piece of cultural connection.
I hosted a party for 20+ friends, and this lantern was the star of the show. Everyone kept asking, "Where did you get that?!" It adds such an authentic, artistic touch compared to standard mass-produced decorations. I love that it's a DIY kit—when guests ask about it, I get to tell them the story of how I built it myself, connecting with the bamboo weaving tradition. The horse design ("Gallant Horse") is dynamic and full of energy. It's lightweight enough to hang but sturdy enough to stand on a table. Planning to buy more as gifts for family.
