Cute when hung! A hot air balloon made of paper

(Paper) Cute! How to make a hot air balloon [DIY] (Paper craft) pretty! balloon

How about creating a festive graduation ceremony atmosphere with a hot air balloon wall decoration made from colored construction paper? First, cut a toilet paper roll to a length of about 3 cm, and cut cardboard to match the circle size of the roll.

Make a tube by attaching a 4 cm wide by 14 cm tall piece of colored paper around the toilet paper roll, then glue the circular cardboard piece to the bottom to form the basket of the hot air balloon.

Next, draw a circle with a radius of 4 cm to make a template for the balloon, cut colored construction paper to that size, and create the balloon by gluing together a set of two red pieces and one yellow piece.

Attach strings to the bottom of each, thread them like twisted paper cords through holes made in the basket part, and glue them in place to finish.

You can also decorate with lace or ribbons for an extra touch!

Easy yet glamorous! 3D balloon wall

Would you like to make a three-dimensional, colorful hot-air balloon wall decoration? Cut five colors of construction paper into circles, fold them in half, and glue them together to form a hemisphere.

This will be the balloon’s envelope.

Once you attach the envelope to the base, add a basket below and paste an illustration of a character happily riding in the balloon.

Draw lines with a pen to connect the basket and the envelope, and it’s complete.

The illustrations can be hand-drawn by the children, or you could paste photos of graduating students, which would be lovely.

If you secretly write a message on the balloon, it might feel like a treasure hunt and delight everyone!

Hot air balloon made with tissue paper

Here’s an idea for a hot air balloon craft made by connecting a tissue-paper-covered balloon envelope with a basket decorated with photos of the graduating children.

The look of the balloon changes depending on the tissue paper you use, so it becomes a piece that expresses each graduate’s individuality.

If you’re looking for ideas that use graduates’ photos as decorations for the graduation ceremony, this is definitely worth a try.

Displaying them grouped by class makes them easy to view, and seeing the faces of the friends they’ve spent time with will put the children in a happy mood.

It’s also an idea you can use as a photo spot!

The technique is fun! Balloon wall

Here’s a cute hot air balloon craft you can make using finger painting and pastel techniques! First, cut construction paper into a balloon shape and place drops of your favorite paint colors on it.

Cover it with plastic wrap, mix the paint with your hands as you like, then remove the wrap—that’s it! Tip: Tape down the plastic wrap so it doesn’t move.

Next, for the pastel version, shave the pastel through a tea strainer and tap it on with your finger.

Once it’s applied all over, rub it in circular motions with a tissue for a soft, airy look.

Try arranging it to match different seasons!

Fun to make and stick! Paper plate hot air balloon

Here’s an idea for a hot-air balloon craft that uses a paper plate as the balloon envelope.

Design it by gluing torn pieces of origami paper onto the plate.

Once the envelope is ready, attach it with ribbons to a paper basket decorated with drawings of the children, and it’s complete! Decorations for graduation ceremonies often include gifts from the children who are still enrolled.

Because torn-paper collage is accessible even for infants, everyone can participate in sharing their celebratory feelings.

While wishing the graduates a bright future, make colorful and wonderful hot-air balloons.

Make a 3D hot air balloon with calligraphy paper and a balloon!

[5-year-olds] We made hot air balloons!

Here’s an idea for making a hot air balloon using a balloon and thin calligraphy paper (hanshi) with papier-mâché.

First, inflate the balloon and tell the children, “This will become the shape of the hot air balloon.” Tear the hanshi by hand, apply paste thinned with water using your fingers or a brush, and gently stick the pieces onto the balloon one by one.

Emphasize that layering makes it sturdier and that wrinkles are okay, valuing the children’s discoveries.

Once it’s dry, pop the balloon, paint it with colors, and it’s done! This activity uses fine motor skills and lets children enjoy the fun of waiting and the joy of creating, so please give it a try.
