Caution & DisclaimerĬaution: Since the lantern is made of linen paper and reinforced with contact paper on the inside, these are designed for indoor use only with LED light bulbs. The one pictured in my home is from Costco but I’m confident that the rubber band design will allow you to use most kits available on the internet or from your local home improvement store. You can hang the lanterns on most outdoor LED patio light kits. The pattern will work in both orientations though! You don’t have to do this but think it’s worth the extra effort! Keep in mind that the ideal look is for the sun to have one ray on top and two rays on the bottom (think of them as feet) since this is how it appears in Disney’s Tangled. Optional step: As a detail-oriented engineer, I opted to cut out a small notch in the paper to allow for a clean design.
Because of this, I sorted through the sheets of paper one at a time to find pieces with the watermark towards the edge so it would be minimally interfere with the finished lantern. The paper is excellent quality with a nice texture, but does contain a Classic Linen watermark. I wanted a high quality paper for the lanterns so I experimented with several products before selecting this classic linen paper, baronial ivory in color available from Amazon. With a little effort, you can change the color in GIMP so try it out yourself or let me know if you have a different color in mind! Selecting the right materials for the Tangled lanterns If you prefer, you may also use the original design for round lanterns in gold or the modified design for square lanterns in gold.
