COLORFUL HANGING LAMPSHADES

- Prathyusha Talluri

Who says beautiful hanging lampshades are only sold in the Decorative stores. If you have the desire, and interest, and few necessary items,,you can hang one each in all your rooms and also start giving as gifts. 

Apply the glue to the yarn and start wrapping it around the inflated balloon as close or as desired in weave. Leave a small area, just wide enough to slide the bulb holder at the top or bottom. Give the yarn a night’s time to dry out and use clear spray shellac to finish it. Now once the yarn is dry, blow the balloon flat, pull out the balloon slowly out of the sphere. The lampshade is ready to decorate your space and on its own a warm and fuzzy conversation piece.
