I really like hot air balloons. I wanted to make one as a decor for my room. I hope you too like this decor and make it for your room.
Supplies
Craft paper, Liquid glue, Hot glue gun, Scissors, Rope, Greaseproof paper, Brush
Cut

First I cut the white craft paper into small pieces. You don't need to use scissors. You can also use newspapers and magazines. You can recycle using newspapers and magazines.
Glue

I inflated a balloon. I applied liquid glue on it. I put the pieces of paper on the balloon and applied glue on it again. I made a round bubble like this. If you want, you can do the same for another layer after the papers are dry. Do not cover the entire balloon with paper. Leave a round space of about 2.5 cm.
Make It Look Nice

After it dried, I cut the balloon inside and removed it. I cut the papers in this section a little bit to make it look nice.
Circle

I made a circle, gluing the thick rope with glue. I used a hot glue gun to glue it on. The diameter of the circle is 2.5 cm.
Long Pieces

I cut long pieces of thick rope and glued them with glue. If you do this step on greaseproof paper, the glue will not stick to the floor.
A Deep Bowl

I joined the round and long piece with glue. It looked like a deep bowl :)
Holes
![7.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F81/WQ7Z/KK8AMIVS/F81WQ7ZKK8AMIVS.jpg&filename=7.jpg)
I made 4 holes at the tip of the paper balloon. Holes should be at equal distances. I put thick ropes through these holes and knotted them.
Bring Together

I glued the other ends of the thick threads to the deep bowl-like piece I made with the strings.
Some Decoration

I cut 8 pieces of thick rope as high as the paper balloon. I twisted one end of these strings through the hole in the tip of the paper balloon. And I glued it with glue. I glued the other ends to the top of the balloon.
Circle

I made a circle, gluing the thick rope with glue. I used a hot glue gun to glue it on. The diameter of the circle is 2.5 - 3 cm. I glued 1 rope in the middle of the circle.
