25 days of Christmas

Welcome to Day 22 of 25 Days of Christmas Project Inspiration:

Christmas Lights

What do you think of when you hear the words “Christmas Lights”?  Holiday Lights on the house, Lights on the Christmas tree, Lights in the window ?  I think of all those too but there is one other Christmas Light I always have and that is on my dining room table.

Today I wanted to share a paper Christmas Lantern I plan on using with a battery operated candle.

Christmas Lantern Tutorial:

1. I used this Snowflake Lantern by Jennifer Wambach from the Silhouette Online Store.

2. The original file was a shorter square lantern and I wanted a taller lantern for my table. So I was able to adjust the file in the Silhouette software to create a taller lantern.

3. I selected some double-sided holiday paper. The double-sided paper is a bit thicker and holds the shape of 3D projects better than single sided paper. I cut out the lantern shape making sure the printed side I wanted to show would be on the outside of the lantern.

4. I cut out some silver vellum paper to use on the inside of the lantern. I adhered around all the edges.

5. I like to use Scor-Tape to adhere the sides of the lantern shape together.

6. I added the gem stones to the outside of the lantern to give it some added sparkle.

7.  I used a battery operated light inside so I did not have to worry about the paper burning. I made several of these and know they will look lovely on the holiday table Christmas Eve with some greenery and snowflake embellishments.

    That silver vellum paper really gives this project a special touch. Where in the world did you find it?
