I made my own Vellum!

Good morning,

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.  



The cat on the left was made with the pdf file and the one on the right was made with store bought vellum.

Here is the other side of the Lanterns:



Here is one of the lanterns lit up:

  7. Your 'home printed' vellum certainly has the stronger colour Chriss - it shows up so well on the fabulous lanterns
