Hot Air Balloon Day

 

011

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:

Printable Balloon Pattern

1 piece of yellow and black construction paper

Blue or what ever color you like tissue paper

Yellow tissue paper.

Ribbon

Glue and scissors

 

001

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.

003

Then we applied glue and attached to the tissue paper and let dry.

004

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!
