About.com can sometimes just be factual and helpful, and othertimes it just brings the cute overload. I won’t spoil the fun of the how-to article but I will note that you want kids doing this project to be at LEAST 5 years old, that it’s a good project to make use of those old-burned-out standard bulbs as you replace them with energy-efficient ones, and my gut tells me paper mache can only be helpful here.  But anyway,go read the project, it’s darn cute.
