This is the fascinating moment that a craftsman demonstrated how to transform a simple glass bottle into a glowing lantern, as the Mid-Autumn Festival approached.

On September 12, 2024, in Guangxi, China, the video captured the process began by tightly wrapping hemp rope around both the top and bottom ends of the bottle, which was then set ablaze. Once the flames subsided, the bottle was quickly submerged in cold water, causing the heated sections to detach cleanly.

The edges were then smoothed out, and the base of the lantern was secured onto a wooden plank. The final touch involved placing a lit candle inside the bottle, transforming it into a glowing lantern that illuminated the night.

The video concluded with the lantern being lit up at night, casting a soft light that added to the festive atmosphere.
