I think hot air balloons are so fun to make and decorate with. I have seen so many different kinds of ways to make your own hot air balloons and how people choose to make that the theme for events and nurseries. So so cute!

These last few weeks we have also really been into making our own pom poms so that is where the idea of making hot air balloons out of pom poms came from.

The basket for the hot air balloon we made is made by cutting along the line shown on this picture:

To make the rest of the hot air balloon, you can follow the instructions in this video tutorial.
