Step 2: Attach Wire Frames

Step 3: Secure Wire Frames
Use the clips on the central holder to secure the attached wire frames. Push the clips firmly over the ends of the wire frames. A tool may be helpful to ensure a secure fit. [tool-symbol]

Step 5: Attach Star Shade
Align the central opening of the star shade structure with the assembled holder unit. Gently push and twist the shade onto the holder to secure it.
Step 6: Insert Light Bulb
Carefully insert a suitable light bulb (not included) into the lamp holder. Ensure the bulb is screwed in correctly and is not touching the shade material.
Step 7: Unfold the Star
Gently unfold the folded paper sections of the star shade. Use your hands to open each of the star's points, creating the full star shape. [unfold-star-points]
