Chinese paper lamps are one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to add some flare to a child's room. Paper lanterns provide style, dim light, and a perfect ambiance for peace and rest. One large one can be hung in the middle of the room as the primary light, or many lanterns of various sizes can be hung at different lengths.
Instructions
1. Gather all the supplies needed to hang the paper lantern. Check that you have the paper lamp, a light bulb, a , a ladder, a ceiling hook and an outlet nearby. If you're hanging multiple lamps, you will need a power strip in which to plug them. Test the outlet and the light bulb cord on the ground before hanging the lamp.
2. Attach the paper lantern to the light bulb and dangle it from ceiling where you want to hang it. Use a pencil to mark the place on the ceiling where you want the lantern to hang. Climb the ladder with the ceiling hook in hand, and screw the hook into the ceiling where you marked it.
3. Screw the light bulb into the light bulb cord and plug the lantern in it to ensure it works. Drape the light bulb cord over the ceiling hook, then feed the cord through the hook until the lantern hangs the desired distance from the ceiling.
4. Repeat the same steps for each lantern. If hanging more than one lantern, plug all of them into a power strip. Use the on/off switch on the power strip to turn the lights on and off so you don't have to unplug each lantern every time.
