Each year my family attends hot air balloon races. Seeing hundreds of balloons take off in unison is such a spectacular sight. Today I’m going to share a simple DIY paper hot air balloon project inspired by those hot air balloon races. These make a fun, unexpected embellishment when making cards, and also could be strung together to make pretty garland for colorful DIY party decor.
How to make paper hot air balloons
Step 3:
To use these DIY paper hot air balloons to make fun greeting cards, simply glue the bottom two balloons to your card to create a hot air balloon that lifts right off the page!
To make fun and festive festive party garland, hang the hot air balloons by stringing above the balloons and gluing to hold into place. This is an adorable detail for a kid’s birthday party or a baby shower.
To create a paper hot air balloon to send in the mail, print out our template at 300%, which will fill an 8″ x 10″ piece of paper. Follow the same directions as above for cutting and gluing. Be sure to make the basket equally as large.
