INPUT ARTICLE: Article: White paper bags (3.5 inches by 6.5 inches recommended) A bone folder (to help fold the top of the bag down) Pencil (optional) Stencils (optional) Craft knife (also known as an X-ACTO blade, optional) Small piece of cardboard (optional) Wire for hanging (22-gauge, cut into 17-inch strips recommended) Grommets and grommet pliers Electric tea lights To do this, fold the top of the bag over in a slow, circular motion, moving around the bag. Pull out the gussets (the folded-in parts) on both sides of the bag and work the bone folder around the top fold until the fold is clean and the bag is flat (with the gussets out and flat too). Use a pencil to stencil in a design on the front of the bag, then cut out the shape with a craft knife. Place a piece of cardboard inside the bag as you cut to protect the back of the bag. If you don’t want to make a design on the bag, you can move down to the step in which you add grommets to the sides of the bag. Place 1 grommet in the middle of each side of your bag, roughly 1/2-inch down from the top of the bag. To find the center, use the crease from the mid-line of the gusset as your guide. Note that it’s not necessary to hang your lantern. Some people simply drop a tea light into a white bag and leave it at that! To fasten the wire securely to the bag, pull it through the grommet and then twist the end of the wire upwards along the rest of the wire. Before you had a tea light to the bag, make sure that the wire is securely fastened to the bag. An electric tea light is highly recommended, as a regular tea light can pose a fire hazard, particularly if the lantern is hung somewhere where it might be jostled.

SUMMARY: Gather your materials: Fold over the top inch of your paper bag. Clean up your fold. Make a design on the bag. Add grommets to the sides of your bag. Loop wire through the grommets to form a “handle”. Place a tea light inside the bag. Enjoy your lantern!

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To get that rich Kahlua flavor, you'll want a good-quality base. And it should be strong, too – a weak coffee won't transport the flavors into the final product. Once brewed, prepare to use the coffee immediately. If you're not so great at brewing a decent pot of coffee (it is definitely harder than it looks), you may wish to have a coffee aficionado do this for you. It can make a world of difference. Once the pot has seen its final drips, transport it over to a large bowl. Then, add in 4 cups of granulated sugar and mix in until the little granules are all dissolved. Again, you could use brown sugar or raw sugar if you like. Just know that each little change will affect the flavor and it may or may not be to your liking. Once the sugar has dissolved and the coffee isn't warm anymore, add the vodka, stirring to combine. Some bartenders believe in a combination of vodka and rum, or even different types of vodka or different types of rum within the same recipe to give it a fuller flavor. If you have the end of a few bottles laying around, try combining them – it may not hurt. Three 12 oz bottles will work well, but one large bottle works, too. Cut the vanilla bean into thirds and drop one piece into each bottle. After that, put the cap on. Your Kahlua is made. At this point, you could also add in a cinnamon stick, cocoa nibs (about a tablespoon), or orange peel, if you like. This will give it a more signature, dynamic flavor. The vanilla needs this much time to infuse and the flavors need to settle into the coffee to give it that rich, liqueur flavor. Once the time is up, strain it beforehand and then rebottle. The basement or cellar is good for this stuff, but a closed box in a dark room (or under the bed) will work just as well. Just make sure it has a label on it in case you forget what that mysterious dark bottle is in six months' time.

SUMMARY:
Brew a pot of strong, good quality coffee. Add 4 cups of sugar to the fresh, hot coffee and stir until dissolved. Add the vodka once the coffee mixture has cooled to room temperature. Add the vanilla and pour the mixture into bottles. Store in a cool, dry place for 2-3 weeks.
