#chopstick lantern

Idk what I’m even doing anymore tbh—I’m just sawin’ angles and giving myself lil dopamine hits every time I complete a shape

There’s no pre-planned design, she’s just kinda happening

I figured out how to make it stay together while being lifted from the top so I can eventually hang it from a pole 🙂‍↕️

So in a wild turn of events—not really, I do this all the time—I’ve delayed the completion of my lantern by ripping the base and lid apart to redesign them bc I want it to somehow latch together so it can hang from a pole as well as being a table decoration

As of right now, it’s just loose pieces held in place by gravity and it comes apart if you pick it up from anywhere other than the bottom since I also wanted it to be modular so I can switch out the panels

Bonus, you can’t tell from this pic, but I stabbed the ever-living-shit out of my hand with an xacto and I didn’t even get any blood on the lantern frame 🙂‍↕️
