Luckily, I had recently scored a big bag of colorful yarn at the thrift store. Chocolate brown, oatmeal and turquoise...oh yeah!
There are a few different tutorials online with variations on the glue and how to wrap the balloons. So after some trial and error, I finally decided on using "Stiffy" fabric stiffening glue. I also found the easiest way to get the yarn on the balloon was to wrap it completely dry, then dip in the glue.
These are really fun but also very messy! I can't wait to string them up in my office!
Have you tried this project yet?

ReplyDeletethank you!! It's definitely fun but really messy! I just tried releasing a balloon last night but it was sticking too much and it took the yarn with it when it deflated. major bummer!
