In our dazzling folia underwater kingdom lives a little jellyfish that shines brighter than all the sea sparks around it. With every gentle rise and fall of its glittering crown, it swirls a touch of magic through the deep blue world. Her tentacles dance like shimmering silk ribbons in the warm light of the current. Sometimes very calm, sometimes playful, and wherever she glides along, astonished faces and little "ooohs" and "aaahs" are left behind.

This special sea creature is not only beautiful, she also has a big heart full of light inside her. And because she's only too happy to share her joy, she wants to make her way to you - straight to your craft room. With our craft templates, you can easily recreate your own glowing jellyfish friend. A few gentle cuts, a little glue, perhaps a touch of glitter and her shimmering underwater magic will unfold in your home. Whether for a lantern run, at a children's birthday party or as a sparkling decoration in the window: your jellyfish lantern is guaranteed to bring a sparkle to your eyes and a little marine magic to your everyday life. So: craft scissors out, sea sparkle at the ready. Your glowing jellyfish is already waiting to brighten up the next lantern party!

Print out the crab lantern template and cut out the individual parts.

Transfer the templates to the corresponding cardboard and cut them out again.

Take the tracing paper and cut it into two matching circles.

Stick the transparent circles in the lantern and fold them together. Secure them with double-sided adhesive tape.

Now stick the individual elements onto the lantern using craft glue or double-sided adhesive tape.

Activate the battery of the decorative light and stick it into the lantern.

Finally, all you have to do is thread the lantern wire into the two pre-punched holes and attach your lantern pole.
