How To Make A Yarn Lampshade With Glue


This is a great summer project! With simple and easy-to-find materials, she made a fun globe. The best part is that one project can actually make either a lampshade, lantern, or yarn globe.

All that she used was a few balls of yarn, school glue, water, and a bouncy beach ball. She also grabs acrylic paint to make the colorful lampshade, lantern, or yarn globe. She first placed trash bags on the counter and made a plastic poncho to wear in order to make the project less messy. She then mixes equal parts of glue and water in a bowl to dunk a ball of yarn into.

Once the yarn is soaked in the mixture, she wrapped the yarn around the bouncy ball, and let it sit to dry for two days. Once the yarn has dried, she deflated the ball and starts pulling the ball away from the yarn. Then she strings an electrical cord through the globe and adds a light bulb to create a great yarn lampshade that is colorful and fun. This project is ridiculously simple and inexpensive to create. It may also be a great project to work on with your kids to add a colorful lampshade or lantern to their room.
