Add to the festive spirit of your holiday decorations by including this cute hut lantern in your display. With an LED tealight twinkling inside, the lantern will look fabulous on any mantle, tabletop, or desk!
To Make Each Lantern You Will Need:
- 1 template (best printed on coloured card)
- scissors
- glue
- 1 LED tealight
- (optional) – cottonwool to represent snow on the roof
How to Make the Christmas Cabin Paper Ornament
There are 3 pieces to the template:
- Section A (the floor and two end walls of the hut)
- Section B (one side wall and half the roof)
- Section C (the other side wall and other half of the roof.)
After cutting along the outer edges of the sections and folding back the tabs, the hut is ready to assemble.
Apply glue to the wall tabs and assemble. It is easiest to put the glue on and stick the walls on one at a time. After the walls are glued in place, apply glue to the roof tabs and assemble the roof.
Finally, punch a small hole in the top of your hut and thread in two ends of a piece of twine or wool. Pull the ends through the largest opening and tie a knot. You’re almost done with an adorable paper Christmas ornament!
The most exciting step in making this resource is the final one: turn on the tea light, open the door, and place it inside!
