Christmas Lanterns

The teddy bears have already been making lots of decorations for Christmas. Charlie has helped out on several of them but he just felt that he would like to make something all by himself - after all, he is the builder bear!! And he has the hi-vis jacket to prove it!

He had looked around the shops at other Christmas decorations and decided he really liked the Christmas Lanterns. They are Christmassy scenes with cut-out areas in them that a light will shine through when it is turned on, and bring the whole scene to life.

But rather than just buying a Christmas lantern that someone else had made, he decided he could make one for himself. The first thing he needed to do was to design his scene. He found lots of different house shapes and trees, a crescent moon and some star pictures on his computer and printed them off.

Then he cut them out and moved the shapes around on a piece of white paper so that they made a night-time scene of houses in woodland with the moon and stars above. When they were in their final positions, he glued them onto the white paper - this would be his template.
