Are you looking for a colourful eye-catcher for your home? Make your own miniature hot air balloons! With the help of this guide, they will be made faster than you think.
Here's how it's done

The little balloons are each made from a divisible Polystyrene ball, of fabric cuttings, a small glass and Jute- and Decorative ribbons . A small LED tea light is placed in the glass at the end.

First cut out small circles of approx. Ø 6 cm from different materials. Now stick on the Polystyrene ball. with Handicraft glue starting "below". Glue the fabric circles row by row in such a way that they overlap in layers.

As soon as the complete sphere is covered with colourful fabric, a hole is first made through the upper hemisphere for the Jute-Suspension belt stung. Knot the suspension tape firmly together in the ball, the thick knot fixes the Ribbon.

Four holes are drilled in the lower ball, two jute strings of equal length are inserted crosswise through the holes from outside to inside, so that they act as a support for the "Glass for tea lights". Fix it firmly with thick knots inside the sphere.

A small glass is hung up as a balloon basket. Decorate this in advance with Lace ribbon (with the help of double-sided Adhesive tape). Place an LED tea light in the glass - it gives off a pleasant, cosy light in the evening hours.
