Best news is, it's DIY! I originally found it while I was procrastinating and spending way too much time on Pinterest, but it was posted there from a blog called More Design Please. I can't believe that it is as easy as a balloon, glue and doilies! I think I might make one for my office!
Here are the instructions (found on DOSFamily):
- Blow up a balloon the size you'd like your light to be (this one is from a party store) and hang it from a string
- Collect a bunch of doilies or small lace tablecloths
- Using a paintbrush, soak them with wallpaper glue
- Put the soaked doilies on the balloon making sure they are overlapping so they stick together
- Leave to dry (probably overnight)
- Pop the balloon
- Attach a nice looking cord and light fixture but cutting a small opening at the top. Once the light fixture is in place, you can sew up the opening if you so choose.
