Christmas Lantern Project

Lantern with Tea Light
Howdy Crafters!
After I finished the Halloween Lantern I created, click HERE, I just had to make another lantern with a Christmas Theme. 
This one took me a bit longer since I am using a ton of dies. I also decided to embellish the window front sections before assembling the two base pieces together. For me, it worked out lovely to get all of the embellishments on first, then assemble the lantern. The last portion of this lantern to embellish was the top of the lantern after assembly.  As you can see in the finished photo, I added a hanging cord. 
It really is worth your time and effort to create one of these lovely lanterns. I hope you will give it a try. See You Tube link below in Recipe.  I am presently working on a Fall lantern - I am addicted!!
Thanks for dropping by today and have a blessed week! ~ Gail ~

Halloween Lantern

Thank you for Show Casing My Lantern - Nov 3, 2015
Eureka
Howdy Crafters:
Tea Light on inside of Lantern
I found a Lantern Tutorial on You Tube when I was recovering from my surgeries. Finally had the opportunity to create this tea-light lantern.
- Click HERE - for the tutorial
I only had Black Chalk Cardstock in 12 x 12 sheets to start this project. I would advise not using Chalk Cardstock for this type of project due to the scoring showing white.  Never-the-Less it was fun to create.  I might change some of the steps, such as cutting out my window frame on the lantern box pieces before gluing those 2 base pieces together. Also I found out that Tombow glue does not work well on Chalk Cardstock!! I think I will apt for scor-tape instead of glue for my next project.

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
