Make the Lantern Wood.

One continuous A4 pop-up sheet. Two characters and the buildings rise with the pages. Keep the hinged doors and fold them open. The kit includes an optional cover, full-colour artwork, cut lines and a step-by-step guide in English and Dutch.

SVG files for cutting or colouring

SVG files use millimetres and embed all artwork. For a cutter, use only the black CUT paths. Score the blue dashed and pink dash-dot paths; do not cut them.

What has been checked?

The same dimensions drive the 3D model and the print files. Automated checks cover rigid panel lengths, crease locations, attached hinges, separated strips and the closed-book envelope at every half degree from 0° to 90°. The model assumes thin sheet material. A physical build has not been tested; start with a plain-paper fit before using your final card.

Use thin craft card, not corrugated cardboard. An adult should handle the craft knife. Print single sided at 100% and measure the 50 mm scale line.
