Toadstool Lantern: Woodland

The small bridges inside the pictures are stencil ties, the same trick Japanese katagami stencil cutters use. Leave them in. Cut the walls inside-first (most software does this by default) and use air assist; the ties are 1.3 to 1.4 mm wide. Finger joints and tabs have no kerf allowance. Test one corner first; add a drop of wood glue if it is loose. Paper: tracing paper, vellum or thin washi. Warm white or cream paper gives the glow in the photos. Light: LED only (USB LED puck or battery LED tea light, warm white). Never a real candle.
