How to do it:

1. First, scrunch up the coffee filter so that the bottom forms a pointed shape.

2. Place a small amount of hot glue on the bottom point of the coffee filter, and place on the lantern, holding it in place for a few seconds.

3. Continue the same process, covering the entire surface of the lantern.

4. Once covered, screw a lightbulb to the cord and insert into the top opening of the lantern.  Secure the cord within the wire holder at the top of the lantern, so that it hangs nicely in the centre.
