Here is my project-

with light-

This is a Dreaming Tree file called Rocket Lantern, and was very easy to use after I learned a couple of things! The only thing you have to do with the SVG file is attach the score lines, so that when you cut the lantern pieces the score lines match up! Dreaming Tree tells you exactly how to do that here. So I cut, glued, and assembled until I got the rocket and base done. I chose to make sparklers for my decorations instead of metallic pipe cleaners, so I flattened the Sparkler from Summer Celebrations, made a mirror image, then printed and cut them. There are six sparklers with 6 mirror images. I thought that by gluing them together they would stand up by themselves-NOT! So I took some black wire I had and glued it to the back of the sparkler, then went through the holes and taped the wire down. Don't finish the bottom of the base until everything else is done! But i like the way the sparklers turned out! I did order the same tealight that Dreaming Tree uses, and they are awesome! After the 4th of July I'll use the tealight in something else so I can enjoy it.
