In Silhouette Studio
Cut out each of the 3 file pages. Cut by line color for the black design parts. The scoreline will have a white line color, change the action of this color to score. The rest will be no line color, these will have the cut action.
Assembly
This takes about 5 minutes now that all the parts are cut out.
Step 1: Make the Lantern Base
Fold the black pieces on the scorelines. Add liquid glue to the side tab to attach the 2 black pieces together.
Step 2: Add the Vellum
Flip the spider lantern base over and use the score tape to adhere the vellum to the inside of each lantern window.
Step 3: Close Up the Lantern
Use liquid glue to join the lantern windows to the tabs on the bottom of the spider lantern.
Step 4: Light the Lantern
Drop a tealight into the lantern; watch it glow and throw shadows around the walls.
