【How to Release a Sky Lantern】:
- Soak 12 pieces of ghost money in kerosene for 20 to 30 minutes until they are saturated.
- Before releasing, use an ink brush or pen to write your wish or to decorate the lantern.
- When releasing the sky lantern, it is best to do it with a team of three persons. First place the kerosene soaked ghost money in the wire in the center of the base frame. Keep the ghost money pieces spread out so that they will all fully burn.
- Two people hold the sides of the lantern and grasp the bottom of the base frame. The third person lights the ghost money on fire.
- Place the base of the sky lantern on the ground, and wait until the hot air inside the lantern fills up the lantern. Let go of the lantern as it starts to float upward. The sky lantern will fly up into the sky.
