Never have I been so excited to watch a Nifty video!!! Thank you for creating this. Did not need to watch this as my family has several parols already up at our house, but felt inclined to as I've never seen any internet content created towards filipino customs during Christmas.
Thank you for the tutorial! I came here after watching (and crying to) Disney UK’s Filipino-themed Christmas advert 😅 I’ve never made a parol before, as I grew up in the States and my parents were never very crafty 😂 I hope chopsticks are a suitable alternative to bamboo ‘cause I have plenty hehe
I'm someone from Pampanga, Philippines and I can, indeed, confirm that during Christmas season, you'll definitely see a lot of parol vendors along the road bringing life and colorful wonder to the place especially during the night. :) Not only that but the street lights are also decorated with parols! The reason behind this is that Pampanga is considered as the Giant Lantern of the Philippines (aside from being the Culinary Capital as well). So yep. We take our parol *very seriously*. :)
Thank you for sharing this video. I have always admired the parol even though growing up in the U.S. the Christmas tree was always the symbol of the Advent Season. Now, I can do both for this year with the help of your video. Maligayang Pasko sa inyo!
I had JUST asked my mom again to bring me a parol from home for Christmas but it was too expensive and too fragile to risk bringing home. I’ve been asking for one for years and now... this! Thanks!
My favorite part of making the parol after putting the cellophane, drizzle some water over it then use a blow dryer to shrink the cellophane to give it a stretched look.
Lantern culture is scattered throughout Asia, in the Philippines it is connected to Catholism just because of Spanish Colonization, but Lanterns in the Philippines existed in Pre-Colonial era.
To those Filipinos who say they're full Filipino and havent heard of a parol, that may be because you grew up in a different country. In the Philippines you'll see those colorful stars hanging on almost every house around Christmas time. But if you're from the states like myself you'll barely see them here because parols here are sooo expensive, ranging from $150 to $300 and making them is time consuming. We just use the regular lights and christmas decorations that are sold in walmart for so much less.
Hmmmm unless they live somewhere where there aren't that many pinoys. But I'm a quarter pinoy and I knew about these since I was a kid. I've seen this on people's windows especially the ones with lights. That's how I know they're Pinoys. They sell these in filipinon stores!
Cant find them in any store(in my area at least) so i order mine from amazon, so far they only have 15.5" long..gonna start making parol project with my kiddo maybe my Filipino neighbor will recognize that im Filipino 😂😂
in elementary school we were assigned to make one of these and attaching cellophane to the frame was frustrating af so my dad just got someone to do it for me
I hope someone can help me. I live in the US and I was wondering where I can purchase the materials. I would really like to start this making parol tradition for this year. Thank you in advance.
Oh, yeah. I remember making this in 1st year in High School for T.H.E. I don't know how I got through. LOL And Im from Pampanga so you see others made better ones
oh boy i clicked so fast when I saw Filipino and its 4 AM here in the Philippines when this was uploaded 😂
Who searched this up after watching the new Disney Filipino short LOL
me lol im inspired already
I was inspired to create or put up a parol in my apartment. Many seem to have forgotten the tradition due to changing times.
Me!!!
Bro Forreals hahaha
Me, I never considered making my own parol before watching it lol
I have many of those at home in the Philippines, but now I live in England and now I can make it... thank u Nifty

You can't have lived in the Philippines and not know about these. Even foreigners who stay in the country over the holidays have seen these.
Where did you order your bamboo sticks..can you put the link here please.
This is similar to Indian Diwali star lantern
We used to hang it in Diwali festival
Nice tutorial and a beautiful Parol.⭐🌟🌠 Maraming salamat po!

Where can I buy the material for this, especially the sticks?
I miss the Philippines. I know I'm not the only one who does...

I made this every year when i was in the elementary school! We used cooked rice when we ran out of paste bahaha!!
And when we run out of rice, we use saliva😂😂😂
Searched this for my kids parol project 😁
Salamat, may pang assignment nako
I hope someone can help me. I live in the US and I was wondering where I can purchase the materials. I would really like to start this making parol tradition for this year. Thank you in advance.
Very Nice
Good job
Aww, this is so sweet
Can anyone tell me where to get those Bamboo sticks? The flat ones?
Amazon or eBay bro if no luck try a art supply store
Cardboards, plastics or any flat bendable scraps will do.
I came here because of a school project thanku
Good job!
What are the materials
Ganda po anong gamit po yan
Mabuhay !!!!!!!!!!!
Maligayang pasko!!!!
Maligayang Pasko!!
we already made that and it took like 3 days cuz i had to make the tail tho and it was ok
My son really enjoyed this video 😊 do you do more videos on your Christmas
Tip: Lanterns at the market are half the price before the ber months.
May I know what is the size of that parol
Yey! 💖
Thank you for the tutorial
I used bamboo sticks to make a parol. Why wont they stick??? Im losing another good score from my school huhu. Why mine is so fragile???
