I created a template for a lantern and started with a Christmas theme. However, you can use any theme (cowboys, music, sport, etc.) you like. The lantern assembles tightly, but can also be taken apart and stowed away flat. I used some battery powered LED lights which are easy to replace.
I have used some coloured velum for teh large open areas. For the small open areas (like the Christmas trees) I did not since the LED lights sparkle through there. I also suggest clear velum for teh floor plate (or remove the hole, I just thought it was nice to see some light under the lantern. Makes it look like it floats.
