I have a friend that likes anything Japanese, so I thought i would try to make a japanese lantern for him. it was a fun project I think I might make some more to set on our back porch.

Well done. Is that frosted acrylic, vellum or rice paper?

Parchment paper works well also, but not everyone has that in the kitchen…
I used a tea light to take the picture, but I didn’t leave it burning long. My plan is to find some battery operated tea lights and hot glue them in the base so they can be turned on from the bottom. ( I have a hole cut out to accommodate the tealight.

I sought out the cheapest copy paper I could find. 14 lb. it works great as a diffuser.
