We like to make these fun and easy crafts to give as gifts or play as kids love these kinds of balloons that they have to squeeze between their hands and observe how what they have inside moves. Its materials are accessible to buy in any Chinese bazaar and they will not take you long to prepare. If you don't want to miss any of its steps, you can watch the video we have prepared to do it, I hope you all like it!
The materials that I have used for two snakes are:
- Colorful balloons
- Transparent balloons
- A rigid mesh with large, brightly colored holes
- Colored glitter in the shape of stars or hearts
- Small and colored gel orbits
- A small piece of decorative string
- Two pieces of decorative bow of different color
- A rubber band to tie the mesh
- A jug of water
- Funnel
- Scissors
You can see this craft step by step in the following video:
First step:
We take a transparent balloon and we fill it with orbits small gel and colors. We will help each other to introduce them with a funnel and we will fill the balloon completely. With the jug of water we will add just a teaspoon of water so that the orbits have some water while they are going to be closed. We close the balloon with a strong knot.
Second step:
We catch the piece of net and we cut it until you see that it is large enough to wrap the balloon. With a rubber band we close the mesh tying it well and pulling the net upwards so that everything is well adjusted and compressed. We decorate the closure with a decorative rope, we knot it and make a loop.
Third step:
We take one of the colored balloons and with the help of scissors we will cut small and equal holes. We will make holes around the entire globe, being separated and irregular in space. We put the white balloon inside the balloon that we have cut out.
Fourth step:
We put the funnel inside the hole of the transparent balloon and we put the glitter. Now, we fill it with water until completing the balloon.
Fifth step:
We tie the white balloon with a very strong knot and we put it inside the colored balloon. The balloons that we have finished are finally decorated with a decorative ribbon. We will knot it and make a bow.
Step Six:
We check that our balloons have been great. We squeeze each one of them and we observe how the orbits expand between the holes in the mesh or how the glitter looks floating in the water and between the holes in the balloon.
