DIY Hot Air Balloon Garland

I’ve always been a sucker for a good garland, and today I’m sharing one that I’ve been working on for an upcoming party- a hot air balloon garland!

DIY Hot Air Balloon Garland

I used my trusty Big Shot and the Sizzix Thinlits Square with Accordian Center Folds Card die set.  I didn’t use most of the pieces in the set, just the hot air balloon die.  This project coordinates really well with my hot air balloon favor boxes that I shared on the Sizzix blog recently.

First, I used the hot air balloon die, made a “Sizzix sandwich” with the multipurpose platform on the bottom, followed by a cutting pad, my paper, the Thinlits die, and the other cutting pad.  Then I rolled it all through the Big Shot to get the most adorable little hot air balloons!

There’s the die next to the paper hot air balloon that it cut.  I love all of the tiny details!

To make the basket stand out, I also die cut some little orange baskets using the same die, and glued them on to the balloons.

Aren’t they cute?!

To string them up, I used a piece of tape on the back of each one to attach them to a piece of Baker’s twine.  So easy!
