String Pumpkins

String pumpkins are fun to make and different! You can go to anyone's home and find fabric pumpkins but who else has string pumpkins?
String pumpkins are easy to make too! All you really need are balloons, orange crochet thread, glue, water and a place to hang them where they can drip such as a covered patio.
Make a glue and water mix and coat the balloons liberally in this mix. Start wrapping the string around the balloon and coat the string with the glue and water mix as you go.
Wrap the balloon until it is well covered in thread and then hang them someplace warm to dry.
When the string is dry, gently pop the balloon and pull it out of the pumpkin.

Help! We tried this three different times and this was the same result. The string stuck to the balloon and when we popped the ballon it shriveled up.

Most balloons are teardrop shape where did you find round balloons?
