Strong Translucent Vellum Paper for Lanterns

Durable Craft Vellum for Lanterns, Window Scenes & Lightwork

This strong, medium-weight translucent vellum is specially suited for lantern making, window scenes, and layered lightwork, offering a warm glow with the durability needed for long-lasting seasonal crafts.

Chosen with Waldorf-inspired projects in mind, this vellum holds its shape beautifully and glows softly when illuminated, making it ideal for lantern walks, festivals of light, and quiet evening rituals throughout the year. The high quality vellum paper is cut by hand into 12.5" x 9.8" (32x25 cm). 

Minimum Order Requirement – Please Read Before Purchasing

This vellum requires rigid packaging to prevent bending and damage during shipping.
Minimum order: 6 sheets total (any mix of colors) OR any order $12+ when combined with other shop items.

Why This Vellum Is Different

Unlike ordinary tracing paper, this vellum is durable yet luminous—thick enough for gluing and layering without tearing, and translucent enough to allow light to shine gently through. At 115 gsm, it is significantly sturdier than kite paper or lightweight vellum, making it especially well suited for lantern construction and display pieces. (Not intended for folding.)

Each sheet is sold individually so you can mix and match colors freely, supporting creative lantern designs, layered silhouettes, and custom window scenes or you can choose the assorted colors option, which includes 1 sheet of each of the 11 color choices.  

Order Minimum -- Why We Have One for These Vellum Sheets

To ensure your vellum arrives flat, uncreased, and undamaged, all orders ship in rigid packaging or oversized protective mailers. Because the cost of these shipping materials exceeds the price of single sheets, we require:

• A minimum of 6 vellum sheets total (any combination of colors), OR
• A combined order total of $12 or more when purchased with other items in the shop
• Selecting the Assorted option (20 sheets of assorted colors) automatically satisfies the minimum requirement

Orders that do not meet this minimum will need to be adjusted or canceled.

Available Colors

White · Light Yellow · Dark Yellow · Orange · Red · Pink · Light Blue · Dark Blue · Purple · Light Green · Dark Green · Assorted Pack (1 of each color)
