I have bought some of these lovely lanterns on a trip to Hoi An and now that I have got them home, can't figure out how to pop them up so that they will stay up. Does anyone know... is there a hook or something on the internal wire? I can see a couple of bumps in the wire where it looks like they should attach to the frame at the top but they don't seem able to stay in the grooves provided. Would be grateful for any help! Peta
