Soaring balloons!
Here’s a decoration I highly recommend that kids can play with.
They’ll get to enjoy making a hot air balloon float with their own hands! First, cut a paper cup down to about half its height and use the side with the bottom.
Inside the paper cup, attach two straws diagonally, then attach an inflated balloon to the ends of the straws to make the balloon part of the hot air balloon.
On the outside of the paper cup, attach two short straws in the shape of the kanji “八” (like a wide V).
Thread a string—tipped with a straw at one end—through those straws, and you’re done.
If you hook the string onto something like a hook, you can make the hot air balloon float!

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.
Cute when hung! A hot air balloon made of paper
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!
Fluffy cloud and hot-air balloon hanging decoration
If you want to create lively decorations, we recommend this one with lots of hot air balloons floating under clouds! First, prepare two sets of origami sheets cut into quarters, then cut them into shapes like the rounded part of a balloon and glue all the pieces together.
Attach a string there, and for the basket where people ride, thread a large bead underneath.
For the clouds, stack about 10 sheets of white tissue or flower paper, accordion-fold them, spread them out, and shape them into clouds.
After that, just combine the clouds and the balloons you made and you’re done! It’s also recommended to make the balloons with origami in various colors and patterns!
Fun to make! Hot Air Balloon Mobile
Let’s celebrate the children’s new beginning with this setup that creates a sky filled with hot-air balloons! First, cut multiple pieces of construction paper into identical, perfectly symmetrical balloon shapes.
Fold each cut piece vertically in half, then glue six pieces together to give the balloon a three-dimensional look.
You can use the same color for all the pieces, or alternate patterns and colors—both are fine! You can also draw pictures inside.
Attach thread to the finished balloon, then fasten it to two wooden sticks arranged in a cross to complete it! It’s also recommended to make clouds and round ornaments in the same way as the balloons and hang them together.

Make a 3D hot air balloon with calligraphy paper and a balloon!
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.
Hot Air Balloon Wall Decor Made with Origami
This is a hot air balloon wall decoration made with origami.
First, cut the origami paper into quarter-size pieces, draw a circle on the back with a compass, and cut it out into a balloon shape.
Fold the paper in half vertically and horizontally, and make many balloon shapes of the same size.
Glue them together by attaching one side at a time to create an accordion-like balloon.
Next, fold together origami cut into quarter-size pieces to create a border.
Glue on light blue origami to make a sky-like base, then attach the balloons with glue.
Add decorations like clouds or cherry blossom petals to make it even more festive!
