Saturday, November 9, 2019 

Paper lantern and lamps Paper lantern and lamps are one of the most creative and elegant ways to decorate your house. As the festive seasons are approaching you can enhance your festive decoration by creating a beautiful handmade paper lantern with layered flowers to add a handmade touch to your festive decor.

Directions:

Step 1: Cut a piece of cardstock of size 4 3/4" by 7 1/4".  Score at 1/2" on the left side and at the top.

Step 2: Snip off the corner at the top. Align the Starry Night Decorative die along the score line and cut as shown.

Step 3: You will need 4 pieces like this, also die cut a few pieces of the decorative border die from the same set.

Step 4: Cut 4 pieces of vellum card stock of size 4" by 6 1/2", glue it on the backside of the die cut pieces and fold the scored lines.

Step 5: Connect all the sides by gluing the scored folding edge on the back of each die cut pieces.

Step 6: Cut a small square piece of card stock of size 4 1/4" by 4 1/4" and adhere it on the folding edge at the top.

Step 7: Hold the lantern upright and fold the sides to adhere all the folding edges to the card stock.
