Lighted Lantern

So I made this with my Silhouette Cameo! I downloaded the design using my $10 card that came with the Cameo. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Let me show you how, its so simple!

First you need to download the "box lace cube tent top" from the silhouette online store. Then send it to the silhouette to be cut.


Look what a great job this baby does!
So while the silhouette was doing it’s thing, I ironed two sheets of wax paper together.
  Once the cameo is done you can peel off your design.



  I used a craft blade to cut the wax paper to size to cover the squares.  
 Then glue the wax paper in place with a glue stick.  
Fold the lantern on the perforated lines and add a electric tea-light, close the bottom.
  Ooo isn't it pretty!  
Go find a dark place to get the full effect, I went to my laundry room

There are endless possibilities on what designs you can use. I modified the design in silhouette and added a robot, for my friend who loves robots. Wouldn't these be fun party favors!
