I want to hang chinese paper lanterns, but i'm cant hang them from the ceiling.?

Question

Im staying in a dorm next year. I was thinking some kind of base to hang the lanterns from.

Any ideas? Thanks

Answer 1

To add a little to what "jeanbug" proposed: if the span across the room is too far, just put a couple more supporting pins out in the middle.

Answer 2

Here's a couple of ideas :)

First, you can hang them from the ceiling using a tiny straight pin ~ such as the type you pin clothes with. A straight pin is strong enough to suspend a paper lantern but won't leave a noticeable hole when it is removed.

Second, you can string fishing line from one corner of your room ~across the diagonal~ to the other corner, and hang your lanterns from that. Again, a tiny pin can be nailed into the corners to secure the line and no one would notice.

Answer 3

Hang them on the wall with plant hangers.
