Hi Everyone!
Welcome to 4kiDS Television.
4kiDS Television would like to share with you a video how to make a "Parol" - a Filipino Christmas Lantern.
A parol is a Filipino ornamental lantern typically displayed during Christmas season. Traditionally, parols have a star-shaped framework made of bamboo sticks which are covered by colored pieces of Japanese paper. The most common form is a five-pointed star with two decorative tails.
The parol has become an iconic symbol of Christmas in the Philippines.
