Hot Air Balloon Craft

So this is what I was thinking about! I would love to do this tomorrow.

Basically, get a balloon, tissue paper, small paper cups and thin ribbon. Cover the cup in tissue paper and secure it with tape. Attach 4 pieces of ribbon equidistant around the cup. Then, inflate your balloon. Take 2 long pieces of ribbon and form an "x" over the top of the balloon, securing with a piece of tape. Tie the cup to the balloon ribbons. Then, decorate as you wish. If time permits, you can either create your own people, or cut out some from magazines and give them a ride! You can also attach a short piece of ribbon underneath the top ribbon and use this to hang your balloon.

So, here is the grand total for the craft!
25 balloons--$1.00
300 yds of ribbon--$1.00
Tissue paper--$1.00
Dixie Cups. Whoops! Still need to get these. I am thinking $2.00? So grand total for a day of crafts--$5.00 or less.

I will try to post the cost of each craft as I do it too. And I will have pictures. Keep in mind on Tuesdays I do crafts for a large group of people at Sprout Soup! (What is Sprout Soup?
