Instructions

Fleurette - SVGCuts Design Team Artist
- Cut all files listed
- Assemble Butterfly Lantern as shown in the assembly video (omitting butterfly_colors1.svg and butterfly_colors2.svg)
- Emboss half of the small butterflies
- Use your pointed stylus to poke 4 small holes in the bottom of your lantern (see photo above)
- Use 4 of the 18" floral stem wires and twist the top 3" of them together
- Use your pliers to wrap the ends so there are no sharp edges
- Bend the wire to form a hook at the top (see photo above)
- Wrap ribbon around the hook end and glue it down (this is optional)
- Take the wire you twisted and feed the pointed ends through the wholes you made in the bottom of your lantern (thread them through the center of your lantern
- Bend a 1/4", 90% angle in each wire, after you have threaded them through the holes (see photo)
- Use some scotch tape to adhere the wire to the bottom of the lantern (if you would like a more finished look, you can glue a square piece of paper to the bottom of your lantern, after this step)
- Using your adhesive tape, adhere the small butterflies to the wires, sandwiching the wire between, one embossed butterfly and one plain butterfly (only tape the centers)- start from the bottom and work your way up to the top (stagger them to give it a better look) Open the butterflies to give it a fluttery look.
Design Tips
- Embossing adds that extra touch
- When you have multiples of the same thing, stagger them to make the overall project more visually appealing!
