PAPERCRAFT OBJECTS: PRINTED TEMPLATES: Lantern

for the object of significance, I wanted to recreate a traditional lantern that is used in many regions in South West Asia and North Africa. this lantern is important to me, and reminds me of my childhood because these lanterns were used when my family and I would take trips to the desert in my parents home as apart of our Bedouin cultural customs. the lanterns were used as light sources when it became dark, which inspired me to try and install a small light from inside the lantern print out.
some examples of what these lanterns looked like:









for the designs on the lanterns, like the ones in the example pictures, I wanted to use the surfaces of the paper once printed out to draw and cut out. these designs will make the light visible and they will help decorate the object, and make it look like a cultural lantern.
