How long do I need to wait for the glue to dry?

The drying time can vary, but it's generally best to let the glue dry for at least 6-8 hours or overnight for optimal results.

Prepare the balloon: Inflate a balloon to your desired size and secure it properly.
Mix the glue solution: In a bowl, mix equal parts of water and white glue, or use fabric stiffener as per instructions.
Apply the thread: Soak the cotton thread in the glue solution and wrap it around the balloon in random patterns without overcrowding.
Dry the balloon: Place the wrapped balloon in a bowl and let it dry completely for several hours or overnight.
Pop the balloon: Once dried, carefully pop the balloon and remove it from inside the thread structure.
Add the light source: Insert the LED light source into the thread lamp for illumination.

Consider using colored thread or yarn for vibrant looks, and ensure adult supervision when crafting with kids.
