A Halloween Lantern Box

 Halloween Lantern Box - Side View #1

Halloween Lantern Box - Side View #2

I previously made a lantern box for my Turtlestitch designs.  Using this design, I added two dormers to the lantern box and some Halloween scenes backed with vellum paper. The designs can be illuminated using a Dollar Tree tea light. The result is a beautiful Halloween decoration for your tabletop.

Here is the PDF file.  I used 65 lb. black cardstock and transparent vellum.

Here is the .Studio file.

Here is the SVG. The file extends past the viewing area.


Make the dormers.  The window tabs are slide into the top and bottom of the dormer.

Glue the tabs onto the lantern box.  Glue the velum onto the inside of each scene. Add the two bats and a witch to the background of the corresponding scene (not the ghosts). Use the throw away cuttings as a template for placement of the bats and witch.

Glue the side tabs together to form the box.

Insert the two bottom tabs as shown.

Insert the last tab to form the bottom of the box.

Slide the inner tabs together to close the interior box.  I used a Glue Dot to close the top flap.

Glue the ghosts on one side of the box.

Glue the ghosts on the other side of the box to complete the Halloween lantern.
