You won't need to buy any fancy tools or chemicals for this project. All you'll need is a ballon—the rounder the better if you want a nice spherical shade—some yarn, glue, vaseline, and a place to mix things together.

Check out the link below for step by step details with photos and tips. If you have a crafty tutorial to share—trendy or not!—let's hear about it in the comments.
