April 2025 Craft: Resurrection Easter Craft

This Easter craft is not only a beautiful centerpiece, but it’s also a perfect visual for devotional purposes. It’s great to know that you don’t necessarily need a Cricut machine, as lantern templates can be found online. To make the enchanting Easter Lantern, you’ll need to gather the following supplies:
Supplies List
- You will need a Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker machine to cut the intricate designs.
- Use a 12×24 Cricut mat with a Standard Grip to secure the materials in place during cutting.
- It’s best to use high-quality 12×24 Olive paper, available on Amazon for the best results.
- Purchase 12×12 Vellum sheets to create a delicate, translucent effect. (Amazon)
- You will need a scoring tool and fine-cut blade for precise and clean cuts.
Instructions
- Open Cricut Design Space online and search for the “Easter Lantern” project.
- Gather all the necessary materials and prepare the cutting mats.
- Use the scoring tool to mark the designated lines on the paper. Cricut Design Space will prompt you to insert the scoring tool at the right time.
- Assemble the lantern by gluing the sides together and adding the optional bottom to complete the project.
For easy and secure attachment of the pieces, I recommend having a glue gun or clear glue dots on hand. It’s also a good idea to pre-cut all lanterns prior to your women’s ministries program so that the ladies can simply assemble them.
