Vellum Halloween Table Lanterns How-To

1. Print and cut out a lantern template (see the second page of the cat 1, cat 2, or moontemplates). Trace template four times, side by side, on black paper as shown (use 2 sheets if needed); with a bone folder, crease where sides meet. Cut out.

2. Print 4 copies of a design (try the owl, witch, cat, hissing cat, or moon; available above in the materials section) onto vellum; a laser printer works best. Cut each piece just larger than frame "windows." Tape vellum into frame. Trim the bottoms straight; tape edges.
