I told you about the Wacky Holidays earlier today. My daughter and I wanted to do some type of craft for Hot Air Balloon Day. So I scoured Pinterest and found a great craft to do. The Pinterest photo led me to this website with full instructions.
You will need:
1 piece of yellow and black construction paper
Blue or what ever color you like tissue paper
Yellow tissue paper.
Ribbon
Glue and scissors
You will need to print out the balloon pattern and cut in out. Then fold the black construction paper in half and trace and cut. Then unfold the balloon.
I did not have a printable for the basket, so I just made my own and my daughter cut that out.
Then we applied glue and attached to the tissue paper and let dry.
While drying I cut the ribbon into 2 pieces of 6 inches and one piece of 4 inches.
The six inch pieces go on the outside and the four inch piece in the center. When it’s all dry, just hang and enjoy!
I might make another one in another color…
Happy Hot Air Balloon Day!
That is so cute and what a great craft project!
Great craft idea! And who doesn’t love hot air balloons!
What a fun summer project!
Love this! It came out so cute.
What a cute project, and I like that your daughter could do most of it herself too!
What a fun project! I love that it’s relatively mess-free!
What a lovely craft! I can’t believe there is a holiday for this, lol…but maybe it’s an excuse to go on one, since I’ve always wanted to.
Very creative and kept her entertained too
My girls would totally love to make something like this, they’re totally into crafts.
This is such a cute and simple craft. We are trying to craft 1-2 times a week with the boys, this will be a fun one!
Very creative. What a fun and simple craft.

How fun! Love the sparkles in the tissue paper.
