For those of you who are planning on making the paper lanterns/ball/ornaments from The Creative Place, I’ve created a template with trim marks for the strips needed so you don’t have to measure each time. You’ll like this if you’re lazy efficient like me. Open the template in Adobe Reader, feed your paper into your printer so that it will print on the BACK of your paper. Print and cut. Want to have your cut pieces on a diagonal? Print the template on a plain piece of paper and tape to your pretty paper and cut. I’ve created templates for 3 sizes of paper. To download, click on the size you need.
12″ x 12″
8″ x 8″
8.5″ x 11″
Maximum efficiency does leave more time for laziness, I mean, other projects….
Thanks for sharing your time saver!
Thanks for this nifty paper project! You are so inventive and generous to share that inventiveness.
Thanks for sharing! I’m definitely lazy and now I’ll actually want to make the lanterns
thank you, some friends and I made some this weekend and they’re so cute; this will definitely take some of the time out of sizing. Thanks.
