Okay this one is a doily lamp. Can you believe the things people come up with? It would be perfect for a wedding or even as a cute accessory in a room. Even though the pictures explain it pretty well, I'll break it down. What you will need is:
- Doilies (duh)
- A balloon
- Clear Glue
- A brush to brush on the glue
- Twine or some kind of thick string.
- Newspaper
- A light bulb and the system to make it light up
Blow up the balloon and tie it off. Than mix the glue. You will than pan the glue on with the brush. Paint it one one side of the doily on top of the newspaper. The newspaper protects your nice table or floor from getting all messed up with glue and doilies. :) Put the doily on the balloon with the glue side on the balloon so it sticks. Do this till it the balloon is covered. Than take the twin or thick string and tie it to the part of the balloon that you tied off. Hang it high and wait a couple hours or overnight for it to dry completely. When it is for sure dry, pop the balloon and cut a small hole in the top. Use that hole to carefully take the balloon out and put in the light. Make sure it stays in and doesn't fall out before you hang it up. If you want you can simply not put in a light and it will still be really cool. Best of luck! If you try it out, comment below and say it it works,
