DIY Hot Air Balloons

Materials:

  • Pack of 6 paper lanterns
  • Wooden fruit baskets x 3
  • Mini dollhouse baskets x 3
  • Ribbon
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Paper Straws

Start by assembling your paper lanterns, they come with instruction.

I then hot glued the ribbon to the top of the lantern and continued a line of glue about half way down.

I cut the ribbon where I wanted the basket it sit.

I repeated this 3 more times to give me a total of 4 hanging ribbons.

I then hot glued the ribbon to each corner of the basket

I hot glued a paper straw to the center of my basket

cut a small slit in the top of the straw and add a dot of hot glue.

insert the base of the lantern into the straw.

Hot glue trim around the edge of the basket

Hot glue ball fringe to the ribbon and sway it to the next ribbon gluing to secure it on each ribbon.

That’s it! How adorable are these? Quick and easy!
