Tips
I. You can definitely use a silhouette die cut machine if you have one :)
II. If you don't like the look of light leaking through the edges, you can use hot glue to glue down the sides and add extra layers of card stock to block the lights
III. Depending on what type of cardstock you use, you can colour the template in water colour to make a different mood light to your liking
IV. You can enlarge the template to make a different size light or change the design to you own patronus
V. Using Blue and white lights make them look more like a patronus, we used orange to match the warmth tone of our living room
