tips & tricks

folding lines

These continuous straight lines help you fold the paper. Not meant to be cut.

Tear along tese dotted line perforations to save time on cutting.

1

Take the bonus tassel out of your TuneJoy lantern kit

Carefully tear each fringe along the perforation. Note they are NOT meant to be torn all the way off.

Pull them pattern-side facing you, so the fringes spread outward when rolled up.

2

Fold the lantern string in half and put the loop between 2 fringes closer to an edge.

Pull the loop flush to the top of the tear of the fringes.

Roll the fringes a few times, eventually the string loop will be rolled in and disappear. Both ends of the string are above the fringes.

For Hula Bunny lantern, you can make a knot with the string before rolling and leave the knot rolled inside the fringes.

3

If there is a spare strip of craft paper in your kit, cut a small strip ~1.5 inches.

Put glue on it and wrap it around the top of the rolled tassel. Wrap it around tightly.

Now you have a dual-colored tassel.

4

Your pendant might be hexagons, stars, circles, other shapes. If you only see 2 pendant pieces, skip to the end of the next step.

Otherwise, apply these steps for any other shape.

Fold each shape in half along the folding line. Use a spoon or your nails to scrape and tighten the fold.

Add glue to half of each shape and glue them together. Line up the straight folded edge on a table. Press the stack together.

5

Put the lantern string in the middle along the folds.

Glue to white side again to close the pendant while pulling the string taut.

Optional: pull the tassel flush against the pendant before gluing.

If you only have two pendant pieces, sandwich the string between the parts.
