Dresses with pockets

Lamp Shade made with dollies or lace.

For this project, you will need

-Dollies or lace
- cornstarch
- a completely round balloon, the size of shade you want (or a ball?)
- White glue
- paintbrush
- petroleum jelly
- lamp kit

 

Sew the doilies together over the balloon.

Leave a spot for the bulb socket.

Sew doilies around ¾ of the balloon and sew the last ¼ separately as you will join them later.

Cover the balloon in petroleum jelly to stop the doilies sticking, and then prepare the following mixture: 5 oz. of glue with 4 tbsp. of cornstarch and ¼ cup of warm water together until it is not lumpy. Once it is smooth start painting it onto the inside of your sewn doilies. Try not to use more than half, as you will need the rest to paint the outside of the doilies - once you have placed the two pieces on the balloon, lined them up and sewn them together.

Leave it to dry for 24 hours then pop your balloon! Use a clear coat of stiffening agent on the inside, and out, and let that dry. After about three hours.
