Simple Question...

[mysscryss]

I'm in an apartment...and I was just wondering the best way to hang paper lanterns to keep them from being flush to the wall. If I could help it, I didn't really wanna put a hole in the ceiling...since that's how *I* was thinking it should be hung LOL Any more suggestions?

i think that's the only way.
they are really light and all i did was use a 2 small cup hooks. you can patch a tiny hole like that with wall filler easy. it also depends i'd assume on what kind of ceiling. plaster or dry wall.

Ok, so maybe the ceiling isn't as bad as I thought -lol- Thanks!

Is that your cat using the toilet?

In PAD someone uses a bracket to hang one (the Marlene Dietrich Africa Jungle Fantasy room) so that the bracket, which is L-shaped, goes along the wall & ceiling and the lamp hangs off that. It wouldn't take a strong bracket, as they weigh almost nothing.

Ooh, I saw that in PAD too! I like the one where he used hollow tv tray table legs. Or maybe that's what you're talking about.

There was another room where he hung two in a corner, and made a square of fake ceiling that was only attached to the walls, and he ran the cords down the corner and concealed them. I love that book.

i would try using a plant bracket--that's what i use for my candle lantern. that should work.
