To use a Vietnamese silk lantern, check that the bamboo frame is positioned outwards, then firmly and evenly push down on the top ring until the internal metal slides into place and locks into the wooden grooves, securing the lantern in its expanded, spherical shape. Finally, hang your lantern and insert a low-powered light source.
Steps to Open Your Lantern
- Check the Bamboo Frame:
Ensure all the bamboo ribs are pointing outwards. If any are pushed inward, gently guide them back into the proper position.
- Position the Lantern:
Place the closed lantern on a flat, firm surface.
- Expand the Lantern:
Firmly and evenly push down on the top ring of the lantern with both hands. Continue pushing until the internal metal piece slides out from the bottom and the hooks emerge from the top ring.
- Secure the Frame:
Squeeze the metal pieces and guide them into the designated grooves on the inside of the upper ring. The two metal pieces should be even in their slots to hold the lantern’s shape securely.
How to Hang and Illuminate
- Hang the Lantern:
Once the lantern is expanded and locked, you can hang it from its top handle.
- Insert a Light Source:
The lantern is designed to hold a light source. You can place a small light bulb inside. Use low-powered bulbs to avoid excessive heat and ensure longevity for the silk and frame.
Tips for Care and Use
- Avoid Harsh Elements:
To maintain the vibrancy of the silk, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and moisture.
- Use in Covered Areas:
For outdoor use, place lanterns in a covered area to protect them from harsh weather.
- Consider Support:
For larger lanterns or permanent installations, especially in windy conditions, use a steel cable for added support to prevent sagging.
- Symbolism:
Remember that in Vietnam, lanterns also hold cultural significance, symbolizing light as a wish or blessing.
