Ribbon Lanterns

On one top corner of the lantern, measure 1/2 inch from top and 1/2 inch from side; mark with pencil.

Using a craft knife, make a horizontal cut at marked point, toward center, equal to ribbon's width. Make another cut, 3/4 inch down. 

Repeat process to make pairs of cuts on all corners of lantern (except on top and bottom panels).

Starting at one bottom corner, thread ribbon through the 4 cuts on that side, loop ribbon over lantern, and thread other side, leaving an equal overhang on both sides. 

Place another ribbon parallel to first; repeat threading.

Give lantern a quarter turn; thread remaining 2 ribbons, looping over first pair.

At each bottom corner, knot the 2 adjacent ribbons together, about 3 inches down. Gather all ribbons, and knot together, about 5 inches down from first knots. 

Trim bottoms of ribbons at an angle. String hanging light through lantern, following manufacturer's instructions, or hang lantern as is.
