Something different for the holiday…design and create unique lanterns for your Sukka this year! Thanks to Ruffled for the great idea, using only balloons, glue and twine, below are instructions on how to easily make these beautiful decorations for special occasions. Enjoy and Chag Sameach!
Instructions:
1. Inflate the balloon to a medium size so the shape is a little rounder.2. If you’re looking to make a lampshade out of the string chandelier, use a sharpie to mark around the knot on the balloon.
3. Before you start working, we recommend using a tarp.
4. Mix corn starch, glue and warm water together until it has a smooth texture.
5. Smear the vaseline all over your balloon until it is completely coated so th twine wet with glue won’t stick on the balloon after dry.
6. You can start a little assembly line with friends by one of you feeding the yarn through the glue mix and giving to another person to wrap it around the balloon.
7. Start wrapping the balloon vertically, slowly changing to wrapping. For a seamless look, tuck the ends of the twine under one of the wrapped strings.
8. Wait 24 hours until the balloon has completely dried before popping the balloon.
9. Spray the string chandeliers with clear fast drying spray paint et voila!
