Decorate your home interior, create a soft, intimate ambiance and light up your garden table with a string of paper lamps featuring cutout designs.
List of materials:
Download templates for Canson® paper lamps with cutout designs..
Print these on to sheets of Canson® Iris Vivaldi® paper. You may choose to print the designs at full size or alter the scale slightly when printing in order to obtain pyramids of different sizes.
To avoid weakening the paper, start by cutting out the inner designs before cutting round the outside of the lamp shapes.
Cut out four triangles from Canson® tracing paper for each lamp.
Apply a small amount of glue to the inside surface of the templates and stick them down, ideally using a glue stick, which will avoid crumpling the tracing paper.
Using the craft knife, gently score the folds in the pyramids and tab, using a ruler to assist you.
Apply a thin layer of glue to the tab and stick, holding in place for a few seconds
Repeat for the other lamps.
Place an LED candle underneath each pyramid and arrange them as required to decorate furniture, tabletops, etc.
