I simply used a sturdy ball wrapped it with string and painted it with resin it was very solid. I also used a white cylinder to go around the bulb so as not to have a glaring light bulb. I used a swag lamp kit to hang it. Still hanging in an ex boyfriends home after 20 years and very solid. No mess, that's what I liked about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167493062012902048.post-42274624045570301172014-09-25T01:50:53.174-04:002014-09-25T01:50:53.174-04:00Hi, Sorry but I dont quite understand yet why you ...Hi, Sorry but I dont quite understand yet why you need the Vaseline on the ball?

Well last night my creation began. I am making a multi shade of purple one, the first layer is the medium color,I am doing layers drying each in between, instead of the wallpaper glue i am using tacky craft glue, diluted with water so its easier to work with but will still stiffen when dry. I am so anxious to lay down the next color. If it turns out as I planned the cost will be very inexpensive, I have spent under $15.00 and do not foresee that changing, thrift stores and yard sales supplied pretty much everything. cross your fingers and hope for the best.

It is so simple, i read some of the comments and so many people said they couldn't do it or didnt have the patience etc... i cannot stress how simple this is hahaha.. it takes maybe a half hour(depending on how much yarn you use). My friends were in disbelief that i made mine... hahahah.. ps yours looks AMAZING !!!
