Anyone have any ideas on how to make this lamp or something similar to it? I would think that you would use starch or sugar water to make the yarn stay in shape and a balloon for the mold...but it's the putting together of the actual lamp and the yarn that concerns me. How much space do you leave between the bulb and the yarn? is there a clear plastic ball in there protecting the yarn that I can't see?
Help!
