Every time I see them a smile breaks out across my face {thank goodness that's all that's breaking out} If you make these with kids, know that it's super messy, but that's what kids love! We'll be using this method in class to make planets in the Spring.
Supplies:
- balloon
- string
- tape
- newspaper cut into 1 inch strips
- white glue mixed with water {about 50/50 ratio}
- white paint
- hot glue gun
- cute cupcake liners
- Blow up a balloon to desired size and tie on a string.
- Tape down the end of the balloon.
- Dip strips of newspaper into the glue/water mixture and layer over the balloon {you are making paper mache} Cover randomly crossing over the other strips until each section of balloon has about 2 pieces of paper over it.
- Once completely covered let dry over night, or until completely dry.
- Paint the ball with white paint and let dry.
- Using hot glue gun attach cupcake liners to the ball.
SUPER CUTE! I love it and I already had everything at my house which makes it FREE!

I wonder if you could somehow light the interior with some Christmas lights or rope light to make them glow without being a total fire hazard.
ReplyDeleteChris.. :-) That would be super cool, but I'm not sure how to do it without a fire hazard.
