Running the Cord for Paper Lanterns

Now, run your cord. Be sure the cord is plugged into the wall, run it up the wall and onto the ceiling, and hang it from the ceiling by hooks. You can use certain kinds of tape to hold the cord up on the ceiling, such as duct tape, but it must be used in large quantities. However, this looks tacky. If looks is not a concern, then, by all means, use tape, as it is easier. Attach the lantern to the end of the cord, and be sure it hangs straight down from the ceiling. If it does not, adjust it until it does.
