Welcome, Light-Makers!
How to begin: 

• Unpack the lantern + supplies:
  • Tissue paper strips, LED light, glue pot and paint brush.
• Get settled and scan to listen to the meditation on the back of the lantern.
• Take some time to write down what you’re welcoming in on the back of the lantern.
• Then begin to make your Lumii as slowly as possible.
• When everyone is finished, place your coasters on a platform big enough to host your lanterns. 
  • This could be a table, a mantel, a window sill
• Then light your LED mini light and place it on the coaster, placing your lantern on top

Instructions

Creating a Lumii is super easy! It just takes three steps:

1. Print:
You can print from your home printer or send it to a printer.
Recommended paper 80 to 110 lb weight (card stock)

2. Cut:
Using your self-healing cutting mat, cut out the shape of your Lumii using the exacto knife. You can also use scissors to help with some of the shapes. Then measure the inside panel of the lantern and cut the white tissue paper into strips for the glow panels. Make sure to cut at least .25" larger than the opening.

3. Glue:
Apply glue to the outer edges of the glow panel and apply the issue paper strip to all four sides. 
Then glue the "tab" to the last panel.
