The paper lantern assembly procedure is not tiresome work. A decorative paper lantern that needs assembly can be put together in 20 minutes.

When you buy hanging paper lanterns, you can see that they are equipped with a metal tool for expanding the paper globe as well. The cord required to hang the lantern must be purchased separately. Since the cords normally come in 10 to 15-foot lengths, you may have to add an extension in the event you need more length.

You need the install the cord after the expansion. Place the cord along the wall and hook it to the ceiling. Use a suitable tape to affix the cord to the ceiling. However, hooks are better than tape to secure the cord. Install the bulb after that.

After you reshape the lantern, you will need the cord to hang it. Place the cord along the wall to the top and hook the cord to the ceiling. Select a tape that will stick the cord well. The cord can be fixed with hooks which are stronger than any tape. Install the light next. As electric fixtures may cause fires, keep enough space between each side of the lanterns when positioning the bulb. It is more suitable to use CFL bulbs rather than other types because these bulbs heat up less.

Many people use CFL bulbs in illuminative paper lanterns because they emit lower heat than incandescent bulbs. The bulbs should have appropriately low wattage to avoid the occurrences of fire. Switch on the light to see if all the operations work smoothly. Faulty installation may not produce the desired result some times. Re-install the bulb, if it is the case.
