Working off of a standard template, students will add their own graphics to their paper star panels using Illustrator on the iPads. Once the students are satisfied with their design, it will be cut and creased on the Zund, after which students will glue or tape their panels together to construct their star, and insert the pendant light.
At the end of this workshop students will come away with a custom paper star lantern they can hang up at home.
Material List
Safety First
Some sharp tool use is needed for this workshop, students should wear cut-proof gloves and use safe cutting practices when using sharps. [If workshop can be modified in the future to use an adhesive method that does not need cutting tools, disregard this]
Sharps Safety
Preparing the Template for Customization
The final Star Lantern will be made out of 5 foldable panels to be cut out on the Zund. Students will customize one panel and cut out 5 copies. The template needs to be either airdropped to student iPads or somehow pre-downloaded so students all have access to the same file.
