I love these balloons and I had a potentially crazy (and difficult) idea: make them with an Edison bulb instead of an ornament! You couldn't light it because glue/paint would get too hot, and they're glass so that would add to the level of difficulty, but it would be such an awesome mini-steampunk hot air balloon! I may have to try...though I anticipate lots of broken bulbs!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523549100068244017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-84288859264204061052013-12-12T08:13:07.123-05:002013-12-12T08:13:07.123-05:00These are so beautiful, you should really consider...These are so beautiful, you should really consider making and selling them.

Try leaving the strings extra long and securing them to the "balloon" first. Then you could cut them all to the same length or possibly tie them gently together at the bottom. Then glue them inside your basket. You'd be doing all the leveling at one place, at the basket, instead of the four attachment points on the balloon. Very cute idea.Emily Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-24372453900479359392012-07-15T16:36:45.926-04:002012-07-15T16:36:45.926-04:00This is ridiculously cute!

Then, use a thick straw (like from McDonald's) and place inside the ball. Cut the straw to the correct length, and place over the thumbtack. Now that the balloon is at the right hight, secure the string or chain. Once finished, just cut the straw to remove and remove the thumbtack. Never tried it, but that's how I would try to solve it.TN Art Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292021430472414213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-70265553793692088052012-03-01T22:34:13.221-05:002012-03-01T22:34:13.221-05:00side note for anyone who finds this post right now...side note for anyone who finds this post right now at hobby lobby in the easter section for about 2 dollars they have tiny little baskets with color on them..i figure a coat of paint will take care of the bright colors and they are cheap!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-77053811904181249362012-02-01T04:05:20.567-05:002012-02-01T04:05:20.567-05:00Relevant: http://www.modcloth.com/shop/toys-novelt...Relevant: http://www.modcloth.com/shop/toys-novelties/haute-air-balloon-ornamentLinznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-51017833608776400292012-01-11T20:34:44.041-05:002012-01-11T20:34:44.041-05:00I cannot express how excited I am about this proje...I cannot express how excited I am about this project and how annoyed I am at myself for not finding it until January!
