I built this in June of 2014 as a gift for a friend using scrap wood. I had created the pattern of the rotating portion out of CAD and my friend helped me laser cut them out of clear PET. The lantern walls were made from plastic hanging dividers and frosted using tissue that was spray adhesived to it. The colored plastic from the hanging dividers were also used to color the images. I had cutout the lantern's images from wrapping paper and taped it to the rotating center.
The rotating fins pivot on a stand made from a clothes hanger with a ball point pen tip on top. The light and socket is from a salvaged microwave.
