DIY Twine Ball Lamp Shade


Fun, funky and so simple to make, this twine ball lamp shade would be a great addition to any decor. For a larger size shade, try using a yoga ball for a form rather than a round balloon.

Things you’ll need:
Round ball or balloon
Hemp twine
Aleene’s Draping Liquid
Disposable container
Rubber gloves
Lamp kit
Scissors

Things to do:
1. Pour out a good portion of Draping Liquid into the disposable container and put on the gloves to protect your hands.

2. Dip the end of the twine in the liquid and hold to the surface of the ball. Dip your fingers in the liquid and run it along the twine, wrapping it around the ball as you go.

3. Continue to dip your fingers into the glue and wrap until the ball is well covered.
4. Allow the twine to dry for several house, ideally overnight. Ease the surface of the ball away from the twine as it dries.
5. Pop the balloon and ease the deflated balloon out of one of the spaces in the twine ball.
6. Using one of the holes in the twine wrap to attach a lamp kit to it to suspend it around a light bulb. Plug in and enjoy!
