You may not know this about me but I discovered the art of leathercrafting during a bicycle trip around the world. This journey took me through all matter of places and cultures. I was very fortunate to discover and admire a whole range of diverse architectures, among which Mosques often stood out with their beautiful domes and exquisite decorative geometrical motifs.
Thus to honor those places that now reside within me as dear memories and still feed my imagination, I decided to make a mosque inspired lantern which incorporates faux stained-glass windows! I hope that you will enjoy the result as much as I enjoyed the process of designing and crafting it.
This lantern is meant to be used either with natural sunlight shining through the gate, in combination with 3 LED tea candles or 1 LED candle with maximum dimensions of 9x7cm.
Print the template on US letter or A4 paper depending on the version you downloaded.

将图案固定在皮革上
用 X-acto 刀或剪刀围绕模板的不同部分进行粗略剪裁。
用遮蔽胶带将所有模板固定在皮革上。
打缝合孔
Use your stitching prongs or hole punch to punch out all the stitching holes.
切割项目的各个部分
使用 X-Acto 刀切出项目的所有部分。
I used a lacing chisel to cut-out the small details of the window panes but I’m not gonna lie, I really wished I had a laser cutter to use for this instead.
Cut-out the 3 stained-glass panels and the 11 blue windows from the transparency film as well.
Bevelling the inner edges
In preparation for the panels’ assembly, we are going to bevel the edges of the 4 side panels as well as the 4 foundation panels.
For the side panels, bevel the left, right and top inner edges.
For the foundation panels, bevel the left and right inner edges.
给皮革上色
This project has been painted using Angelus leather paints.
I used a mix of white and yellow (barely a drop) to paint the exterior of the side panels and painted the interior gold. The window panes are painted brown, the door and the dome turquoise and the dome wall blue.
Gluing the stained-glass windows to the window panes
Through experimentation, I found out that the printable side of the transparency paper adheres quite well to contact cement.
This makes sticking the stained-glass windows to the window pains really easy.
First apply contact cement to the back of each window pains and around the back of the windows of the dome wall. Wait for it to be dry to the touch.
Position the stained-glass windows on top of the back of the window panes and press them firmly in order to bound the transparency film to the contact cement.
Then use an awl to pierce the stitching holes through the transparency film.
For the dome dome wall, we need to stitch it in shape before setting-up the windows. Since the strip will curve when it is stitched, the windows would crack if they were set-up when the strip is flat.
First apply the contact cement around each window on the flat strip.
Wait for it to be dry to the touch and stitch the two ends together using a cross stitch.
Finally press each window into place to bound the transparency film to the contact cement.
Assembling the lantern
Now to stitch it all together!
We’ll start at the dome, stitching each of the 8 dome panels together using a cross-stitch.
Then screw-on the top decorative spike. Depending on the thickness of the leather that you used, the screws that comes with the spike might be too short. I had to use a longer screw with a small washer to set-it up properly.
Stitch the periphery of the base of the dome to the wall using a cross-stitch.
Stitch the bottom of the wall to the roof. The technique is akin to a saddle stitch. But instead of having two pieces flush with each other, they are positioned at a 90 degrees angle.
Stitch the three window panes underneath their respective side panel using a saddle stitch.
Stitch the door frame on top of the appropriate panel.
Stitch the top of the four side panels to the periphery of the roof using a cross-stitch.
Join the 4 side panels by stitching down each corner of the lantern.
Once you reach the bottom of a corner, stitch two foundation panels together with the same thread.
Complete the lantern by stitching the top of the 4 foundation panels to the bottom of each side panel.
