Butterfly Lantern Tutorial

This week I discovered Lori’s fun Lantern projects in the Lori Whitlock SVG & Silhouette Shops! There are so many to choose from! I decided to make the Butterfly Lantern (SVG, Silhouette), which cuts two on one piece of 12×12 paper.  This makes it really easy to make a bunch for a fun celebration or party favor.

Start by cutting all of the pieces for the lantern…

Add score tape or adhesive to all flaps of the lantern as shown here…

The lantern assembles similar to a box.  First fold all score lines inward with exception to the top, that will fold outward as shown…

Remove tape backing and assemble lantern as you would a box…

Next, use your bone folder to curve the lantern handle and attach with decorative brads…

Complete the lantern by adhering the butterfly layers together and gluing to the front of the lantern.  For additional dimension, I sewed my butterfly layers together and added a fun cherry pom pom to the side that I received from a friend.

I had so much fun making these and I hope I inspired you to give it a try.  Thank you for stopping by!

Pumpkin Shelf Sitter

Hi there crafty friends! Brandie here with a Fall décor craft tutorial. I love Fall, the colors, smells, and cooler temperatures. Another of my Fall favorites is pumpkins. I usually start pulling out my pumpkins this time of year. I want to enjoy them for as long as possible before all the Christmas holiday stuff shows up.

I used the pumpkins from the Pop Up Box Card Pumpkins (SVG, Silhouette). I like that the pumpkin segments are separate giving the pumpkins some depth. I cut two layers of chipboard and one layer of cardstock or pattern paper. When cutting the chipboard go slow and make several passes. I used my machine’s pre-programmed setting and did not have any troubles. The plaid paper comes from the new Echo Park My Favorite Fall collection.

The width of the large pumpkin is 11.5 and the width of the small pumpkin is 6.5. I used the Scotch tacky glue to glue each layer. Then placed a heavy book on top of the pumpkins while the glue dried. Before I assembled the pumpkins I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink. I then used tacky glue to assemble the pumpkin layers.

I tied some raffia and ribbons from my stash around the stems. I then glued the smaller pumpkin to larger one.

Now these cuties will be sitting on my bookshelf all season. I hope this project inspires you to use Lori’s cut files in your crafty décor pieces. Thanks for stopping by!
