Instructions are provided with each lantern and you can watch a video which shows you how to open and hang it. My kids and I had such a lovely time making these sweet Santa Paper Lanterns and we hope you will too! At the end of the season, we take them down, remove the puck lights and collapse the lanterns so that they are flat again.

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Once your pom poms have dried glue your Santa head onto your lantern, lining up the top of Santa’s brim with the top of the lantern. The production process is traditional and non-mechanised; each section of the star is printed using traditional methods, the perforations in the design hand punched, the tissue paper cut and fixed in place by hand and the star assembled using geometric skill and accuracy. Due to this non-mechanized process, there may be tiny inconsistencies in shade and design, which should not be viewed as flaws, rather as evidence that they are hand-made by real people not machines!I love using my Silhouette Cameo to quickly cut out paper decor projects, but you can also use scissors and an x-acto knife. The top pieces with holes go on the two sides, the ones without go on the front and last side piece (which will be the back).

Our unique Christmas decorations have been designed and manufactured by us in our laser cutting studio in Sussex.

You might be able to use them with puck lights instead, but again, I don't know as I have not seen them in person or used them myself.Or as a lantern with a set of battery operated LED fairy lights inside – either hang the star, or invert over a lamp stand for stability. Take a pencil and curl the paper around the pencil to make his curly beard, then glue the beard to the back of his head. Here you will find doable DIY projects, home design ideas and how-to tutorials that will help you create a home you love. These large paper lanterns will be perfect for creating instant Christmas decor wherever you need it.
