Cool Lantern Idea?

I saw a really cool way to hang a plant or lantern. By taking 3 good size sticks about 1 or 2 inches across and making a tripod of sorts, you can hang a plant or lantern from the middle. Place the 3 sticks together at the top and tie them with some good rope 5 or 6 inches from the top. Position the legs like a tripod and hang what you like in the middle. I'm going to try to do this myself at home using young trees that I've cut down. No, I'm not just cutting them down to make the tripod :). The tree's are in places that they shouldn't be. More in a while.
