3D Hot Air Balloon Make and Take

Hello my creative friend!! Welcome to this weeks Demo!!

We’ll be making a 3D Paper Hot Air Balloon card today! With a little basket and a note of “Sending Love” this craft is so Fun to make!!

Check out the video here:

To make our Hot Air Balloon- we first have to choose some paper we like!!

There are SO many decorative papers to choose from!

Find a color scheme or theme that you Love! Take each paper and fold a section, trace around the Balloon Stencil and cut it out!

You’ll need four Balloons to create the 3D balloon!!

Decide how you’d like your balloon faces to be organized, each balloon will be a section of the big balloon!

Glue each backing of a balloon piece to another piece, so they begin to fan out!

Once you have all 4 balloons adhered, you’ll see how it can lay flat on the back and have a 3D effect!

Now it’s time to make the basket!!

Taking two pieces of Kraft-tone paper, we’ll weave a basket!!

Trim one to be the length of the basket and the other to the width!

Adhere two pieces to the top and bottom corners and begin weaving with an ‘over and under’ pattern!

Soon you’ll have your very own basket!! You can attach it to the balloon with a few pieces of twine.

Let’s make a card out of our balloon now!!

Grab your favorite color card base and use a bit on glue to adhere the balloon and basket!

Decorate to your hearts content! With little heart punches, fun embellishments to cut out, ribbon, and more you can create any kind of balloon you’d like!!

The inner sentiment is lovely cut out of Gold Mirri-card! “Sending Happiness” is exactly what this card is for!!

There are so many ways to personalize this craft!
