Lantern Design – Deanna Polosino

For my design, I have created a tent that will incorporate full cut outs and raster/vector engraves. My theme for it is the night sky and solar system. I want to decorate the outside with things like planets and stars. I plan to use either usb or battery powered fairy lights.

Here is my inspiration:

    Cool idea. What are you planning for color? Paint? Natural wood color?

    1. Deanna says:

      I want to keep the natural wood color but I am considering using a stain.

    How do you plan to attach the pieces together?

    1. Deanna says:

      I am going to use the finger joint tool on MakerCase and wood glue to keep it together.

    This is awesome! I am struck by the creativity in the shape of the tent! What kind of light are you planning on using?

    1. Haley says:

      I meant to say how are you going to install the light into this design.

      1. Deanna says:

        My plan was to use the fairy lights so the user can slip it in through the tent door and manipulate the lights until they get the effect they want!

    Are you thinking of coloring/staining the piece or leaving it like the reference picture?

    1. Deanna says:

      I didn’t have a set plan on it but either natural or wood stain.

    Do you plan on using something to defuse the light?

    1. Deanna says:

      As of right now I don’t have a plan to.

    Do you plan to use regular, singular colored fairy lights or those that can change colors?
