Paper lanterns are one of the easiest things to set up. They usually come disassembled, and they are almost always this way if bought on the Internet. They come in lots of different shapes, sizes, and colors. As soon as you get your lantern, you may be tempted to rush into setting it up. Although it is easy, there are some things you should watch out for, as they are very fragile.
Paper lanterns are one of the easiest things to set up. They usually come disassembled, and they are almost always this way if bought on the Internet. They come in lots of different shapes, sizes, and colors. As soon as you get your lantern, you may be tempted to rush into setting it up. Although it is easy, there are some things you should watch out for, as they are very fragile. They are simple to work with, and they are usually globe shaped. Because they are globe shaped, they are easy to pack flat. And, because they are packed flat, they always retain this natural tendency to become flat again, so you must use an expander which is usually provided. The cord and socket, however, are not usually provided unless you buy a kit. Because the paper is so easy to rip, inserting the expander requires extra careful attention. Be sure you pay attention. You will see that there are two holes in your lantern, and they are not the same size. The bigger one is the top; you will insert the expander here. Notice the grooves on the top and bottom of the expander; these grooves are going to come into contact with the paper on the edges of the holes in the lantern. First, get the grooves on the bottom in place, and then expand the lantern manually so it snaps onto the grooves on the top. You are done! That was easy, right? It is time to run the cord. To get an exact picture, plug the cord in first. If the cord will be run on the ceiling, hooks are the best choice. Tape will work, but you must use a lot of it; it also looks incredibly tacky. Start at the outlet and work your way to the socket, and it is critical that the socket hangs straight down when you are finished. If it does not, readjust until it does. Do not leave this step out! Screw the lightbulb in next, but be sure you unplug the cord before doing so. Be sure the lightbulb does not exceed the maximum recommended wattage for the cord you are using. Sixty watts is the most common. After the bulb is screwed in, you can attach the lantern. Insert the lightbulb through the top, and then let the lantern hang from the socket. This should be easy. This next step is the easiest: turn it on! If it does not come on, it is probably a loose light bulb, or you forgot to plug the lantern in. If it is not those things, then you have an electrical problem or a faulty cord. Now, it is time to enjoy your lantern. It is a cheap, safe, and attractive alternative to traditional lighting fixtures, and it will provide you with beautiful, dim light which you can enjoy in a variety of settings, such as in a romantic dinner or in an Asian-themed room.
