I had the same problem a while back, my solution was clear glass bathroom vanity globes.
i know alot to describe a light fixture.

They may be a little small 6 1/2 inches wide, but they already come with a hole to place a light,
just have to face it to the back.

Also clear is kinda boring,so since i work in the paint biz, i have figured out a way to tint them.
"Water-base polyurethane", with universal colorant added in (not paint)

so what i did was use the water based colorant which is the same stuff they use to tint house paint,
add a couple of drops of green and blue to the polyurethane in a paper cup, mix it together and pour into globe.
i added a little water to it to let it flow a little easier.
swirl it around it will look very solid while wet but will dry semi transparent, let stand over a tray allowing the excess polyurethane to slowly drain out.

let dry, then hang with some netting or try to tie it up like a fish float
