Now let me show you the content of the final diy kit!
The only step left is to stick together and bind the four remaining sticks with the notch in a X at top and bottom and the lantern 🥰
Offering the lantern in this way makes it a not only easier to transport.

Now it is time to partially assemble the lanterns by sewing the individual parts together 🧵

I usually drill a hole somewhat below the middle of the sticks we are going to use to stabilise our lantern in the final steps, cut out the rest and file a bit to achieve the notch in the middle. Two more holes at the end and we are good to go!

Somehow my Dokomi prep-support isn't supporting 😿
Either he is playing with my paper scraps or sleeps under the table. So I guess it's all on me again 🙈

And we continue with lantern crafting! At least for a bit 😊
The next step is to drill holes into the plastic foil in order to prepare it to be tied together in the next step.

Throwback to my little #japantag booth!
Thank you very much #bijutsuconvention for organising this ❤️ It was a very lovely one of a kind event 🥰

Tomorrow is #japantag & I will part of the bijutsu pop-up store 😱
It is open between 10:30 AM – 7:00 PM and you can find it on the Immermannstraße, right at the intersection between Spherebay and Shochiku in 'the box' at the 'Me and All' Hotel Düsseldorf.

Off to the next step in the lantern crafting process! Glueing the wood sticks to the prepared foils.

Usually the point within the lantern crafting where I start panicking, is when I have to cut a bunch of wood and drill an infinite amount of holes into it with my crappy equipment because this takes FOREVER. But not this time! This time I got lucky and my dad was so kind to help me ❤️

After drying comes gluing! Followed by more drying of course 😅
Each print will be hand glued to a 0,2mm thick transparent foil. This gives it more stability and prevents the paper from being damaged easily. 😊

I've printed a bunch of yokai on extra thin lokta paper for turning them into lanterns in preperation for the upcoming conventions 😊

I will not only bring freshly printed cork coaster sets to the pop-up store, but also a few freshly printed sketch books 😸 They also make great con-hons in case you need a new one or forgot yours!

The paper I usually print on (right) vs the paper I use for my lanterns (left).
It's super thin and I love how many details are shining through!

Here they are! ❤️
I will bring these hand printed origami cork coaster to the bijutsu pop-up artist store for the very first time. They will be sold in sets of 4, with one of each designs included 😉

Not sure if I ever showed this cool feature of my tote bags before but: THEY HAVE POCKETS!
One additional one on the backside that can be closed with a zipper. When I saw this I knew I needed to buy these to print on them 😍

Did you spot the new print in my last picture? 😏
I managed to finish the "Ramen Bar" right in time for Japanmarkt and was very happy that few of those prints already found a new home ❤️
