Step 1

Use your cutting machine or X-ACTO knife, along with my template, to cut out all of the pieces to your Santa’s workshop paper lantern.Note: If you are using the SVG files that includes the score lines, don’t forget to set them as such in Cricut Design Space and attach them to their shapes before sending them through your cutting machine. I used a lime green color to mark the score lines, so hopefully that helps! If you’re having trouble with the score lines, check out this video.

Step 2

Start by attaching the decorative pieces to the sides of your lantern. Glue the vellum window pieces to the inside, as well as the black silhouettes.Take your roof pieces and attach the vellum liners to those as well.

Step 3

Take your lantern wall shapes and fold along the score lines. Attach the two halves together using the long side tabs.Fold the base section inward and attach it to the bottom tabs.Next, attach the roof piece (the one that has the two triangle sides) to the top tabs, centering the hexagonal hole.

Step 4

Next, take the other roof piece and fold the whole thing in half, along the score line. Attach it to the top of the lantern using the tabs on either end as well as the tabs on the triangle sections.Finally, arrange all of the little presents and toys around the outside of the workshop, and your lantern is complete!
