How do I make yarn ball lanterns?

Question

http://www.oogalights.com/Autumn-Yarn-Ball-Party-String-Lights.aspx

Those are pretty similar to the ones that I want to make except I want to use a different kind of yarn (something similar to this kind of texture and size (http://www.theyarnco.com/brand_display/251 )

In any case, I have no idea how to start with this project. I was thinking of going out and buying a string of christmas lights (white cord, clear bulb), then finding some clear baubles, trying to wind yarn around those and finally mount those baubles somehow to the string of lights. Anyway, i don't know if there is something I should be looking for or a method of mounting the lights, etc. Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Get some little balloons that will be round when blown up. Soak your yarn on wallpaper paste, decoupage medium or white glue mixed with water, and wind it onto the balloon. Leave an opening for the light. When it's dry, pop the balloon. Get some lights on a string and put one into the hold, then secure with a little bit of masking tape. Make a whole bunch of balls to cover all the lights on the string.
