Paper Lantern

 

 I made this lantern with the Brother ScanNCut. Another free project available on their CanvasWorkspace. 

I downloaded their project file into my ScanNCut machine and cut the required pattern pieces. CanvasWorkspace also provides a PDF  'recipe pattern' with each project which offers clear instructions on assembly.

I placed black 12" x 12" cardstock onto my cutting mat and  loaded it into my machine. The intricate pattern pieces took several minutes to cut. For the vellum pieces to reveal the light shining through, I used my paper cutter since they were just simple rectangular pieces.

The lantern is square measuring 5.5" x 5.5" by 9.25" H. I placed an LED battery operated candle inside.
