This lantern is cut from 1/8" Baltic birch plywood. You can use an electric craft light kit or a simple battery powered tea light. The tea light works surprisingly well for such a small light. The picture below is lit with the tea light.
In included several different designs for the fretwork.
The tea light is a friction fit for easy removal.
You can buy the craft lighting kits at most craft stores or Amazon
