craft your happy place
Create a glue and water mixture at a 2:1 ratio of glue to water. If you’d prefer to have just the string with no shell, use a 1:1 ratio instead.
Drop the whole ball of jute string into the container of glue and water. You’re going to want that yarn to get good and saturated, but you don’t need to leave it to soak.
Mark the desired shade perimeter on the ball. I like to use the inflation hole as the center point for the top opening of the shade.
Using the glue-soaked jute string, wrap your ball in a random, overlapping pattern.
Set your wet shade aside to dry for 24 – 48 hours. Find someplace out of the way so your pendant shade doesn’t accidentally get knocked over.
Once the jute string is completely dry, pop or deflate the play ball.
