Autumn decoration DIY: Delicate light creatures

What an atmospheric idea! Candles in the folded wild lights make the animal world glow... We explain how you can bring coziness into your four walls step by step with great craft ideas.

What you need:

- Firm tracing paper DIN A4
- Animal stamp plus ink pad
- Scissors, ruler,
- pencil
- Tealight jar
- Double-sided tape

1. print and cut the paper to size


First stamp the animals on paper and enlarge them on the photocopier. Then copy this motif onto the center of the tracing paper. Mark out the folded andcut edges - cut out the tips at the bottom

2. fold the edges, corners and lines


Place the paper face down. Fold the corners and bottom edges of the base inwards. Then fold four diagonal lines first in one direction and then in the other

3. join the side pieces together


Apply double-sided adhesive tape to the outside of the side flap and cut to the required length. Remove the protective film and stick both sides together to form a square lantern

4. fill the lantern with candles


Now carefully press the four bottom flaps inwards and secure with adhesive tape. Finally, place a tea light in the drinking glass. Never use candles without a glass because of the fire hazard
