Lantern Instructions and how they Work
Most paper lanterns are made up of horizontal or random ribs of
either bamboo or metal which create the shape of the lantern. There is a
hole at the top and bottom which include a metal eyelet to insert the
expanding fixture.
The
expanding fixture is what keeps the lantern "taught" and hold
its shape. The expanding fixture is larger than the paper lantern and
should be slightly bent when installed.
The
paper lantern pulls open much like an accordion.
The
expanding fixture is inserted into the paper shade and into the eyelets to
expand and securely hold the paper lantern. If using an electrical light
set, the electrical wire is woven into the "C" shaped wire at
the top of the expanding fixture. Position the light bulb to hang directly
in the center of the paper lantern.
