1. Prepare the Base
Start by placing half-inch dowels on either side of the container.
In the middle of the container, insert a brick of floral foam to provide stability.
Use tape to secure the dowels and floral foam in place.
2. Inflate the Balloons
Using a balloon pump, inflate a jumbo balloon.
Once inflated, place it between the dowels.
Use tape to secure the balloon to the dowels.
3. Add Mini Balloons
Next, grab your pack of adhesive tabs or glue dots.
Apply these dots to the back of mini balloons.
Attach the mini balloons to the jumbo balloons.
Distribute them randomly for a colorful and festive look.
You can place glue dots between the balloons and stick their sides together for more security.
4. Fill the Basket
Fill the container with fake grass, leaving room for additional decorations.
Add decorative metallic or shiny Easter eggs, filled with candy, or dollar bills for an extra surprise.
5. Final Touches
To add a whimsical touch, consider including a cute Easter-themed figurine, like a duck or bunny, in the basket.
Arrange the decorations to your liking, creating a scene reminiscent of a hot air balloon ride.
