Here is complete video tutorial showing how to make balloon lamp.But if You don't want to watch, read the guide below.
Those are all needed parts.As You can see not to much, nothing fancy and expensive.
First You need to make a balloon from lampshade.Cut the 8 pieces from the rope, each 1/3 longer than the lampshade. Then tight them to the top of the lampshade. Hang everything to easier work.Use the additional rope to make horizontal balloon net
Now take the basket and remove the holder from it. Then tight it to the ropes. Watch that the basket should be well leveled.
Electric wire should be attached to the top of the lampshade. Use the ropes and make a knot between ropes and wire. And You are almost done now.
Last thing to do-put the little fellows to the basket:)
