Thread embroidery thread through the loop of the ornaments or the tie closure of a balloon. If the plastic ornaments are comprised of two pieces, secure the joint with a thin bead of clear hot glue.

Sew the ornament through a leotard or nude colored slip. Loop the thread through several times for extra security. Tie a knot to hold the thread in place.

Cover the entire leotard or slip in ornaments or balloons in random sizes. Lady Gaga's dress featured bubbles that ranged in sizes. For example, some were larger on the shoulder straps or around the hem of the dress.

Pair the dress with a blonde wig and fishnet stockings. Wear exaggerated makeup for a truly glamorous Lady Gaga-inspired effect. For the eyes, surround the entire eye with black eyeliner. Accent with shadows in various gray and silver shades. Fake eyelashes will make for an even more dramatic effect. For the cheeks, dab blush on the cheeks working from the apples of the cheek outward. Wear a dark lipstick to complete the look.

Tips & Warnings
Gather clear, plastic Christmas ornaments in a variety of sizes. These are usually inexpensive, especially if you can find them on sale after the holidays. Another variation would be to inflate clear balloons in various sizes. This is more cost-effective, but it is considerably more temporary.
