Halloween Prop Build: realistic dimmable flame lanterns

Trying to step up my decorations this year, and I had a couple of these cheap plastic lanterns I had picked up some years ago from a Big-Box store. I thought they looked pretty decent, but the effect they had was pretty lame. 

I wanted to make them more realistic, or at least good enough to add to the more spooky atmosphere that I'm going for. I think they came out pretty good, so I figured it was good to share what I learned.

NOTE: 
The 12-volt came from measuring the bulbs that I had. On ordering more, I found some that were 5 volt and the 12V killed them, so measure your particular bulbs first.
