Here’s your step-by-step guide to crafting your own show-stopping ornament:
Materials You’ll Need
- A large balloon
- Papier-mâché paste (just a mix of flour and water)
- Newspaper strips
- Paint in festive colors
- A hanging hook
Instructions
- Blow It Up: Inflate the balloon to your desired ornament size—go big or go home!
- Get Messy: Dip those newspaper strips into your paste and layer them over the balloon. Repeat 3–4 times to make it sturdy.
- Let It Dry: Once it’s completely dry, pop the balloon and pull it out, leaving behind your hardened shell.
- Add Some Cheer: Paint your ornament in bright holiday colors and get creative with patterns or sparkles.
- Hang It Up: Attach a hook, and voilà—your giant ornament is ready to shine!
Once you’ve nailed this, why not level up? Try making a giant wreath or snowflake next and watch your holiday decor steal the show!
