Hi everyone! So I am looking everywhere online for a video to explain to me how to hang a paper lantern using fishing line. I can't find anything! Do I put the fishing line in the hole of the lantern then make one knot at the top and hang it? Do I tie one end of the line to the lantern and then make a loop at the end. I have no idea. Can someone send me a link to a video, or explain to me VERY clearly because the instructions I'm finding online are not clear enough for me. Thanks!

I thought this video was pretty illustrative. It was literally the second result when I googled "hanging a chinese lantern". If you're still having trouble, and have tried doing it with an actual lantern without any success, it may not be a bad idea to hire a decorator or day of coordinator who can do it for you.

Note: while she uses twine in the video, it can easily be replaced with fishing line.

Thank you!! Guess I wasn't wording my search properly to find that video. I found a decorator that will do it for me, but they are charging close to $900! My venue said they will hang them for free, but I need to "prep" them so I just wanted to see exactly how to do it. Thanks again!
