8. Now add the next side piece. Since it will now be joining at 2 points, you will need to place glue on the bottom flap as well as a side flap. Use paper clips at any point to hold pieces together if they do not stay.

11. Now add the next side piece. Glue these strips now over the 4 corners of the lantern. Punch a hole at the top of each side (a total of 8 holes).

12. Use an eyelet to decorate each hole. Take some gold wire (about 20 cm length) and wrap it tightly around a pencil or another object to form a spiral. Connect each of the 2 ends in 2 holes diagonal from each other of the lantern. This looks decorative and the lantern can be hung as well.
