The provided diagram illustrates the production of Wasak lanterns, which is used to celebrate the festival of Wesak in May annually.

Overall, the procedure operates in 3 main stages, including 8 steps, beginning with harvesting bamboo sticks, followed by mechanical processing into a basic frame, and ending with decorating into lanterns. The process is linear, with bamboo sticks undergoing a series of steps to become the lanterns.

Initially, harvested bamboo need to be cut into 25 sticks with an equal length of 25 centimetres. After that, every four sticks are attached together with a string to form a diamond-shaped frame. Then, a basic frame is made from these fastened frames.

At the decoration stage, colored tissue paper, after being cut into eight red triangular pieces and four blue square pieces, is glued onto the basic frame to cover it with a colorful appearance. To make it more complete, rectangular blue papers undergo a trimming stage to convert into decorative frills, which are stapled to the bottom of the lantern, producing the finished Wesak lantern.
