Step 8The Hook
Next, figure out where you will hang your lantern. Keep in mind that you have an open flame so you will have to make the wire long enough to protect overhead branches. The jars have some weight to them and will pull thin branches down. Try to pick thicker branches and hang above a "Y" so the wire won't slide down the branch.
Also, avoid high traffic areas. Bumping your head on one of these things will hurt.
When you've selected a site, measure from the branch to where you want the lantern to hang. Add about 8 inches and cut the wire.
Bend the end of the wire into a hook that is slightly wider than the branch. The end of the hook should be at least twice as long as the branch is thick.
