Description Inspired by the amazing-ness of the new Disney movie 'Tangled' - which was even more fantastic than I thought it would be - I made some lanterns over my christmas holidays. 

Then, because of the interest from all you lovely dA people I re-made the tutorial that my computer had deleted. Enjoy! ^_^

EDIT 1: Wow, didn't expect the response to this.... I love you all
EDIT 2: So excited, its taken me two months but I'm finally up to date with replying to comments, favs etc. !!
EDIT 3: Fixed up this description and added a few more facts/ frequently asked questions.


~FAQ~

1. If you make some and put them on dA I'd love to see them so send me a link!! And please link back to me!

2. I will add in what type of wire it is when I find out!

3. Sun Template: i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x… (By yurihappiny: yurihappiny.deviantart.com/)

4. Full template: If you would like a full template with a less simple, closer to the film border, one has been made by kapuschati: kapuschati.deviantart.com/art/…

5. The candles: I found a christmas carols thing and went there to buy my candles, so I can't be much help if you're looking to find some (apart from suggesting that you wait untill christmas and gatecrash some carols nights).
However if you go to a two dollar shop you might be able to find something similar. Good luck!

6. The lanterns don't actually float of corse, but I have them hanging from my bedroom celing at the moment so they kinda do....

7. VIP!! If you want to use real candles be my guest - just make sure you spray the paper with fire retardent first!
The paper + wire may just be a little too heavy for these to float, and you would need much more heat ...
However the basic idea is simple, cover the top and put a real candle inside.



8. If you've got tissue-paper, bamboo and some hazardous materials on hand you could definately tweak them to work.... www.ehow.com/how_4826178_make-…

Hecatia10 In reply to Yuki-the-Trickster [2014-04-04 02:43:23 +0000 UTC]

I don't have exact numbers unfortunately, but if made exactly the same as mine then 2 meters would be my educated estimate.

These are awesome!! I was planning on doing some for my daughter's "Tangled" theme birthday party, but I couldn't think of how to make a "form". I was thinking of trying it with wooden dowels to make square lanterns. I also want to use lilac cardstock and a frosted vellum paper. If I can't find the fake candles, I'll adapt it for fake votives. But awesome job!!
