A lovely and innovative technique that we have used to make these thread ball lamp danglers. One could use more than one colour for the lamps. Accessorise the lamps with sequins, beads or ornamental stones to enhance the over all look.

Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Neon - Yellow 011, Green 012, Orange 017, Pink 018, Fevicol A+, Fevicryl Fabric Glue, Fine Art Brushes, Wooden Ring, Silver Thread, White Coloured Cobbler Thread, Plastic Bowl, Balloons, Colour Palette, Water Container, Scissors, Sequins
This is how we made the thread ball lamp dangler We took 7 to 8 balloons; blew them up to get a uniform sized round.
Take a plastic bowl, pour Fevicol A+ and Neon Acrylic Colour - Pink 018 in it. Mix the colour and the glue neatly and soak the cobbler thread in this mixture. Take any one of the balloons. Tie a knot to the painted thread towards the knotted area of the balloon.
Wrap the painted thread all over on the balloon by covering it neatly. Similarly, use the other three colours to cover the rest of the balloons. Your covered balloons with the painted threads would look like this. Make about 7 to 8 such threaded balloons. Leave it to dry completely.
After drying, burst the balloons and remove the balloons from the skeleton of the wound thread. Your thread balls will look like this.
Take a wooden ring. Wrap silver thread around the ring intermittently sticking it using Fabric Glue. Dangle the neon thread balls on the ring, aesthetically. Enhance the thread balls by sticking sequins on it using Fabric Glue. Leave it to dry.
