This is how to make some cute mini - balloon weights for a party.

Create the Net

First you need to make a box 'net'. I made a 6cm cube from old cereal boxes. I found this cardboard the fight strength and flexibility.

Use graph paper to create perfect squares, cut it out, then use this stencil to draw around the cardboard

After the cardboard nets have been cut out, fix them together with strong tape, such as duck tape, leaving the lids open for now

Fill the boxes with clean rocks, then tape up the lids

Wrap the mini presents in paper of your choice (fix with clear tape),  then stick on a gift rosette in order to tie the balloons to.
