Hi Debbie here with my version of hot air balloons.
My original idea (before I realised how difficult it was going to be to make what was in my head) was hot air balloon type bunting, but its now a solitary balloon to hang!
I cut out about 40 balloon shapes from book paper. I folded them in half and glued the halves together.
I was frustrated that the sections weren't spaced evenly so I used a needle and beads to space the pages, however when I had finished I realised I didn't like the blue beads (this was the second time I had started again so decided to cover the beads.
I used a zig zag piece of paper and a hot glue gun to go around the balloon and cover the beads. I could then stick the paper roses around the outside.
The top of the balloon was covered with petals cut from book paper.
I covered the edges of the balloon with glitter glue of varying colours.
Thank you for stopping by It's A Creative World.

Really sweet - that would make lovely bunting, maybe with sweets in a basket? :D
