Introduction: Paper Balloons
I know I usually do 'ducttapestuff', but this time I wanted to make something that's just COLORED with duct tape!
Step 1:
First, take some paper, scissors, or an exacto knife, and some duct tape.
Step 2:
Then fold it sort of into a triangle-type shape
Step 3:
Then either mark or cut where the end of the folded paper is
Step 4:
Then undo the fold and cut a straight strip out of the paper. That makes the paper a square, but you can make it square however you want
Step 5:
Step 6:
Then fold it into a rectangle
Step 7:
Make sure your creases are really good!
Step 8:
Then fold it again into a square. Turn it so that all four open edges are on the bottom, and the crease is on the left
Step 9:
Then take one flap and put your finger in it
Step 10:
Then sort of fold it over
Step 11:
So it's sort of like a triangle with a almost half square on the side
Step 12:
Then flip it over and do that on the other side
Step 13:
Step 14:
Then take one flap and fold it and line it up with the crease in the middle
Step 15:
Do that on the other side
Step 16:
Now flip it over and do that on the sides
Step 17:
Step 18:
Then take ANOTHER flap and fold it into the middle
Step 19:
Do that on the other side an flip it over and do that on both sides
Step 20:
Then take a flap from the top, (if its not on the top it's in the bottom) and put it into the little pocket created
Step 21:
Step 22:
Them do it on both sides , flip it over and do it on those sides
Step 23:
Step 24:
Then cut four 4" strips
Step 25:
Then center it on the balloon
Step 26:
Then pull apart the two flaps and fold over the excess duct tape
Step 27:
Step 28:
Then fold over one of the flaps,
Step 29:
Then center some duct tape on that, and separate some flaps and fold over the excess duct tape
Step 30:
Do that on all sides so it looks like this:
Step 31:
Then BLOW
Step 32:
IT
Step 33:
UP!!!
