H5N1 fun niggling projection from Marie Claire Idées (May/June) using ping pong balls together with spray pigment to exercise a playful pendant light. (Cute, yes)? From what I could decipher (thanks to my handy slap-up translator), Here's a niggling how-to:
Spray balls inwards groups using a unlike coloring fabric for each grouping (might endure overnice to exercise amongst an ombre number too). They used xxx balls per grouping (6 rows) for a full of 180 balls for a 45 cm diameter shade. Drill a pocket-size hole amongst the needle into reverse ends of each ball. Using nylon thread brand garlands knotting i goal starting fourth dimension thus pulling thread through each ball from i hole to the other (like beading) filling upward the string until all balls are used to the diameter size of your frame; necktie the wire upward against the final ball. Tie the garland of balls unopen to the lampshade structure, repeat adjacent garland, together with thus on until the entire shade is covered. Hang from a pendant string calorie-free such equally an IKEA HEMMA cord set. Voila! Created past times Léa Baert for Marie Claire Idées.
