Lighting investigation

I've been wanting to do this for a while, so when it became clear that the Salvation Select Store needed some interesting and inexpensive light fixtures in the dressing rooms, I suggested that I try making this  crafty Ready Made string globe pendant.  To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed with the results of this first go.  After wrapping crochet string around a balloon, I applied plenty of fabric stiffener and called a night... but the balloon deflated over the course of the evening and I woke to a sagged out version of my original orb.

The lamp below from Ready Made is what I was going for.
