These papier-mache bubbles have been an addictive art project in our house lately. We start with a balloon. Next, paint watered down glue on the balloon and place a white coffee filter on top of the glue, then paint more watered down glue on top of that. Continue layering coffee filters with glue and leaves, colorful scrap paper, wrapping paper, sprinkles of glitter or whatever else you can think of. I have been drying them by attaching a string to the balloon and hanging it over the shower curtain rod in the bathroom. When you are certain they are dry carefully pop the balloon. It will release from the coffee filters and leave you an awesome little bubble! They make fun luminaries. However, they won't really work outside because the glue is water soluble. Of course you would not put a real flame in these but they are fun to hang in the house with the battery operated tea lights that look like real candles!
