Build a 3D Star Lantern designed to open and hold a battery operated LED Tea Light.  The finished lantern is about 6.5” tall. It can be used as a table or mantle decoration or combined with others and hung from a ribbon as a string of lanterns. It would be perfect party decor for your summer picnic. The file is designed for either 8.5 x 11” or 12 x12” card stock. 3D construction techniques are basic.

The download includes files in SVG, PDF, DXF formats for use with either the Silhouette (DE required) or the Cricut Explore. Detailed PDF directions are included.
