Hummingbird Lantern (Flameless)



Hummingbird Lantern (Flameless)-JMRush

Approximate Lantern size: W 3 x D 3 x H 7.5” (H 8” with Circle Hanger)


This Flameless lantern features a hummingbird design which is wrapped around each of the four sides. A layered transparent frosted effect is created when vellum paper is used. This design is compatible with both 8X12 and 12X12 mats.



You can purchase the Silhouette design file here: https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/artists/485222



1.Cut design pieces. ( I used double sided card stock and vellum paper)

2. Flip the two lantern pieces over ( pretty side down) and apply glue around the inner edge of the opening and attach the vellum rectangles. ( Helpful hint:You may need to place a heavy object (book) on top of the vellum to keep it from getting wavy while drying).

3. Apply glue to the circle hanger hanger and attach to the top of the second and fourth peak on the lantern base as shown. ( Makes sure that both are placed symmetrically in height).

4. Flipping the combined lantern bases over, apply glue to the backside of the green hummingbird panels and align over each silhouette window on the combined lantern base.

5. Apply glue to the backside of the side view flower and attach to the coordinating shape on the combined lantern base.

6. Using foam adhesive squares, attach the hummingbird silhouettes to the hummingbird window panels; aligning with each coordinating shape.



7. Apply glue to the backside of the combined hummingbird window panels and attach to the coordinating shapes on the combined lantern base.

8. Apply glue to the long side tab on the right hand side of the second combined lantern base.

9. Attach the first combined lantern base on top of the second combined lantern base’s tab and secure (joining the two base pieces). Make sure the panels are aligned at the bottom. Glue the last purple flower piece to each coordinating shape on each panel.

10. Fold the lantern base at the score lines. Apply glue to the first combined lantern base’s long side tab on the very left side. Secure the long side tab to the other side creating a box. 

11. It should look like this:)

12. Image of the side edge secured.



13. Apply glue to the top tab with the circle hanger and secure it to the triangular panel to it’s left side.

14.-18. Repeat for the next tab. Continue applying glue to the top tabs until the top is complete. Apply glue to the other side of the circle hanger piece and secure to the opposite side inside the lantern.



19. I use a long object (pencil) to help secure the tabs from the inside of the lantern top.

20. Curve the flower petals and leaves as you like.

21. Using foam adhesive squares, attach the purple flower to the black flower base; alternating the petals.

22. Repeat for the silver flower to the combined flower. Glue the inside tiny green flower shape to the inside of the combined flower.

23. Glue the leaves on the back of the combined flower.

24. Using a foam adhesive square, attach the combined flower to the lantern on the side which has the circle hanger facing you.



25. Fold the score lines on the lantern square base.

26. Apply glue to the top two tabs of the Lantern square base and secure to the inside of the sides.

27. Repeat for the bottom two tabs creating a shallow box.

28. It should look like this:)

29.-30. Place a flameless candle inside and the lantern top in it’s base.( I used a W 2.75” x H 4” pillar flameless candle).
