I made my own Vellum! Dreaming Tree has two free sets of Vellum. One for Fall and one for Spring. https://www.3dsvg.com/shop/free-svg-files/halloween-vellum-color-pack-free-pdf/ It is a PDF File. I was getting so frustrated trying to find vellum in the store (or on-line) that I decided I was going to make my own.
Here is the lable for the printable vellum from Amazon:
I went to Youtube and asked for "How to Use Adobe Reader" It came up with lots of instructions. I didn't even own Adobe Reader, I had to download it. Look at the luscious orange that came out of my computer!
WARNING - you have to let it sit on your computer to dry for about 3 minutes before you touch it or you will get fingerprints on the vellum.
Now on to my project. I made two Halloween Lanterns from Dreaming Tree. They are called Cats Meow Lantern.
Here is the other side of the Lanterns:
Here is one of the lanterns lit up:
