Papier-Mache Decorations: Chandelier Shades and Party Favors

Chandelier Shades and Party Favors How-To
1. Cover small balloons with one layer of orange tissue paper and one layer of yellow. Trace silhouettes onto black tissue paper, and cut out each of the shapes with a utility knife. Affix the silhouettes to spheres with wheat paste.

2. When the paste is dry, pop and remove balloons and enlarge knot holes. For party favors, fill pumpkins with candy and tiny toys; paste a circle of orange tissue paper over the hole. For chandelier shades, slip the spheres over bulbs. Do not use bulbs of higher than 40 watts.
