Comments

  1. Worst. Tutorial. Ever.

  2. needs to mention how much ingredients

  3. it was cool , very homy

  4. actually I think the instructions should have read – put glue on 1/2 balloon -(the outside) cover with paper cover with glue again- let dry – then burst balloon — I used to make these with string and put things inside to decorate — birds – flowers etc

  5. I think something is missing from the instructions, such as how is the paper glued

    This would be a good craft, but I think some steps are missing. The part about putting the paper on the balloon.
