Back in (I think) 1980, my buddy and I made up about 40 of these using similar methods; balsa wood, shoe box cardboard, aluminum foil, cotton balls and gasoline for fuel. We used extra long garment bags from a dry cleaner (taped closed at the top). We secretly set these off on Halloween night and had the entire neighborhood and surrounding area totally in wonder at what they were. We did catch a couple of tall trees on fire with all the dry leaves (not the most responsible thing to do) but it did work out. That was the time when UFO's where all the rage and we had a lot of people kinda scared. The smoke from the fire box made the bag look really creepy! It was awesome!

great way to pollute with plastics. well done. These should be made with paper and non petroleum based products. last thing we all need is more plastics in the watershed

That's a very interesting way to start a fire in the neighborhood! (Jokes aside, thank you for the video!)

So what happens when it lands by accident and is still burning? Cool idea but extremely irresponsible.

Thanks bro for the sky lantern idea I've been looking all over for it

people are complaining about the negative impacts on the environment. So to anyone who wants to do this. Use tissue paper instead of a plastic bag so if it ends up in the ocean it’ll dissolve. also they used wooden skewers instead of iron/metal coils which was a great alternative. ☺️

That’s gonna create a forest fire 🔥

I need to learn this now so I can show my kids a fun time when I have them.

Btw for anyone wondering why they use nail polish remover they probably have alcohol such as rubbing alcohol or ethyl alcohol banned or hard to get so they use ail polish remover but you can use rubbing alcohol and it'll work great.

These are the funniest flipped comments I've seen on a video in a long time totally laughing out loud here reading all these, thanks for the smiles

That was the coolest lesson I've ever learned!

Looks like a real good way to start brush fires.

this is perfect for a surprise for my cousins they will be proud

Damon Salvatore: "Can you believe that, flying Japanese lanterns. Japanese lanterns are the symbol of letting go past. Well here is the news flash, we're not Japanese" your video just reminded me that scene. :D

Unless you plan on retrieving your lantern, please do not use plastics as they are not bio-degradable. There are plenty of other tutorials for sky lanterns that use paper.

In place of nail Polish can we use alcohol

very nice.it,s work 100%.thanks for him.who make this..♣

Very nice use of dustbin bag to lantern

When littering the traditional way gets boring..

next time you do this project with thousand of people on football field then release all the flying in to the sky at the same time.is that will be wonderful.

Beautiful - nice and easy instructions, thanks for posting.

Yes lets fill the air with plastic bags, goog job

now that you know how to make a sky lantern: please dont make one.

We made those as kids except we used dry cleaner bags and sealed the top in by laying a towel on the bag and ironing the towel to fuse the plastic

and now i Will show you how to start a random fire in the neighbor yard.

I love this craft👌👍😍

Also known as improvised incendiary device.

That looks simple enough.

Where do you find cheap trash bags like that?They are really thin. I can see why it worked.

Awesome man.very simple to learn and make

You are awesome guy thanks for video i will make at home

Love this channel cz this shows the right things :) take my blessing

How to weird out your neighbors by releasing a giant green condom into the night sky

This look like a very fun and fast project! I will haft to try it sometime.

Tie a thread to it and another to an anchor so that it stays in sight.

You are fast worker bro

No forest was hurt in the making of this video.👍

Bro u r genius

Bahot badhiya ji well done I will try it

how do you get it back

Dope! Great vid! Easy quick instructions. Just don’t like the plastic bag idea. It’s gonna come back down. Then you have a plastic bag blowing around possibly causing probs. If I use a type of paper, will it be too heavy?

🎵🎵the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire he don't give a dam cause he jus litter🎵🎶

Lol the sky lantern is so long I’m dead😂😂😂😂

Use a compostable bag. It's a beautiful idea, but sending more plastic into the environment is really depressing especially for something that should be pure joy. Make it with paper and compostable stuff.

Super sky for 🕯

Nice lantern 🏮!

In China we call it is Kong Ming light

Dude! Pollution alert! Where the heck do you all think the plastic in the oceans is coming from? It is careless uses like this. This is a bad idea you guys, please don't do this.

Very nice video but Merako polythene ka laletane chaya ya video mana D. L. to last Karlie ha par vo gada better ha.

I have never seen a lantern like that

Can you please tell which plastic did you use...?

How can it be that the wood sticks don't flame up immediately? They are set in the middle of the fire..

Anyone worried about releasing garbage to the sky just attach some fishing line to your lantern.

aweesom work......................i like it

Nail polish remover probably can be used for fueling a sky lantern.

Neat & clean work

Time to scare my neighbours

How long does it last? I don't want to launch it and then it ends up in plants setting em on fire. Nevermind. Just found out they are banned from California:(

I tries but the fire just got everywhere and burnt the plastic bag and the string I attached to it so it would not fly away. any suggestions?

really nice video

Looks pretty cool but you are sending a plastic bag into the air and then just not picking it up when you're done

Wow awesome and so easy

Sir....Which paper ...

can u use sando bags because its hard to find that plastic thing

Should be titled "How to fires." (I'm sure many other comments say the same.)
