DIY Snowflake Lanterns

Looking for a fun winter craft? Make a DIY Snowflake Lantern! This easy project is perfect for kids and adults.

Divide your cardstock paper into 3 even rectangular parts (8” long each). Leave a ½” section of space on the end for a glue tab.
Make your snowflake template. First, draw a hexagon with ½” walls.
Draw 6 lines about 3” long from the center.
Mark each line 1” from the center.
Use your marker to make each of your 6 lines into a narrow rectangular shape.
Turn your marks from Step 4 into snowflake designs as shown.
Draw a rhombus at the top of each line.
Cut out your snowflake template.
Put your snowflake in the middle of your cardstock paper in the middle section.
Trace your template.
Put your cutting mat behind your cardstock.
Cut out the snowflake with your craft knife.
If you prefer, you can skip the cutting and just draw a snowflake directly onto the cardstock.
Apply glue around the snowflake cutout and attach the semi-transparent paper.
Fold the cardstock into 3 even parts.
Add glue to the 1/2'” tab and form your lantern into a triangular shape as you close it.
Add an LED light inside so that your lantern glows if you wish!
Remember not to put a real candle in since this is a paper lantern. Enjoy!
