What is inside

  • Two lantern sheets: one with a star border, one with a dot border.
  • Dashed cut lines and a fold line already drawn.
  • A handle strip and step-by-step instructions on each page.

How to use it

  1. Print on colored or white cardstock.
  2. Cut out the sheet and fold it in half along the dotted line.
  3. Cut each dashed line from the fold, stopping at the borders. Unfold and glue the two short edges into a tube.
  4. Glue the handle inside the top. Use a battery tea light only, never a real flame. More cozy ideas: thank-you gift ideas under $30.
