This lantern is stunning!
3D lantern made from paper. It looks so complicated, but it’s not.
Assembly is so easy you’ll want to make a bunch.
The files come sized for a 9 inch lantern including the top. The bird wings can be curled outward to give a super delightful 3D look.
Detailed assembly instructions are included as well as a basic assembly video that you can watch on my website to see how all of the lanterns are put together.
Materials you need to make this lantern.
Cardstock:
I used 65lb white cardstock. You can use a heavier weight and a different color if you like
Four 12 x 12 cardstock, or seven 8.5 x 11 cardstock
Vellum paper: 2 sheets of 8.5 x 11. Parchment or tracing paper will work, but the vellum is wonderful.
Glue: I used Art Glitter Glue and a Zig glue pen – use your favorite kind.
A battery operated candle or fairy lights.
