Once the notches are cut, you can prepare the individual lanterns by using a glue stick to bond one seam on two 8.5×11 sheets of paper. Once complete, pull away the straight edge and trim the remaining paper around the curved pattern Square pattern with all cuts removed Assemble the Tangled lanterns In order to cut the pattern below, make three slices with the straight edge in place, working around the curve. First, align your straight edge down the center of the right frying pan Aligning the second cut. This also ensures that two remaining sides have all folds and overlap from the adjoining sheets of paper. I opted to make these cuts so two sides of the lantern are a clean, single layer. The square lantern is a bit more complex. Round lantern with notches cut on the right side Just mane sure there is enough room for the curve to show through on the adjoining page.
The round lantern is very easy to trim! Just take your utility knife and make two straight cuts angling from the frying pan handle towards the edge. Plus, with the Tangled boat border, Eugene and Rapunzel would be upside down in their boat if you mix them up so it’s pretty easy to see which side faces up! Trim and prepare the lantern paper
(Think of them as feet.) This is also how it appears most often in Disney’s Tangled. (I use a utility knife, self-healing cutting mat, and straight edge.) You don’t have to do this but think it’s worth the extra effort! Keep in mind that the sun is designed to have one ray on top and two rays on the bottom. I also trimmed the square lanterns to allow for a clean finished look.
Optional step: As a detail-oriented engineer, I opted to cut out a small notch on round lanterns. For round lanterns, the watermark can be either at the top or bottom. I learned that pages with the watermark at the top work best for square lanterns. Use these pieces for minimal interference with the finished lantern. This paper contains a Classic Linen watermark so be sure to sort through and select pieces with the watermark near the top or bottom edge. However, it’s important to use the baronial ivory classic linen paper because of its excellent quality and nice texture. I continue to use everyday items to simplify this DIY project and keep costs down. If these colors don’t quite match your inspiration, you can easily change the color in GIMP! Selecting the best materials
This way, you can apply one of many color schemes to your DIY project (non-commercial purposes only, please): I also created three other color templates with the same pattern. Tangled sun with boat and frying pan border for square lanterns (pink)
