Step 1: Gather Materials

You need the following materials 1. A garbage bag 2.Wire 2. Fire starter

Cut two sections of wire as wide as the opening hole

Step 3: Attach to Bag

Make a hook on each end and poke it through the bag 5 or. 6 times

yeah would not be recommended in wooded areas or very dry areas. could start a forest fire. we have enough of them going on in the USA don't need more.

I hate to be an environment freak but flying flaming plastic trash bags seem like a bad idea

[vincent7520]

Agreed. Silk paper does the job magnificently !…

How do you not burn anything down? It seems dangerous. Just saying

[backflip11]

it cant come down until the fires out and it just got done raining out

[Dowaine]

you could tie some kite string to the balloon and then you could real it in when you were done

[vincent7520]

Nope ! The higher the balloon is, the longer the string is … thus the heavier : all in all the heat would be high enough to lift both balloon and string !…
