Balloon lampshades

Make balloon lampshades with paper napkins, painted on to balloons with white glue and water. When completely dry, untie balloon so that it slowly loses air and separates from the lampshade. Trim lampshades and place over nightlights, on a mirror. Make sure the night lights are not touching the paper. You can cover the lights with a small glass bowl to make sure they don't get too close to the shades and overheat. You don't want to start a fire! Do not leave the lamps on when you're out of the room - safety is always a good idea!
