Step 8Hanging Material
Okay, so I'm sorry to say, I constructed this whole thing before I realized it should be my first Instructable and I wasn't taking photos during the process. I did this the hard way and threaded the socket cord all the way through my hanging device, and that cord is now nailed to my ceiling, so I will provide the best description I can.
Take your wire, string, or thread, and cut three lengths slightly larger than the diameter of the opening in the top of the lantern.
Double those guys over, and tie a square knot in each (unless it's wire, of course.) You now have three loops that are about the same size as the radius of the lantern at the top.
Place your three loops around the cord so that they sit above the light socket.
Open three equally spaced brads around the top, place a loop in each brad, and close those guys up again.
Screw in your low heat light bulb.
Congratulations! You've just made your very own cigarette box paper lantern.
