Lace ball lamp
This is a very pretty craft and very simple to do, it would look great in the corner with other sized ones.
I will post the instructions.
Instructions:
1- Get a ball in your desired size, cover in plastic wrap (the one shown is an exercise ball)
2- Buy or use old lace doily's (size does not matter just enough to cover the ball completely)
3- Buy mod podge ( at craft store)
4- Pick your first doily place on the ball and brush mod podge making sure the lace is flat on the surface of the ball. (make sure you leave room at the top for the light to go into)
5- After the ball is covered with the doily's let it sit and dry ( read the mod podge bottle for drying times)
6- After the lace is dry and hard, pop the ball,balloon, ETC. remove carefully from the hole at the top of the piece.
7- add lighting to the top, and hang in the desired area.
** You could make these so they are just an ornamental piece if you want/don't want to buy the light. But keep the hole at the top so you can pull out the balloon or ball.

ReplyDeleteDid you make this yourself??? I am trying to make some for a wedding and it isn't half as easy as you make it sound.
