Cappadocia! A land straight out of a surreal fairytale – with incredible natural rock formations, underground cities, and balloons filled skies – it’s a place with an irresistible charm. Hot air balloons ...
You guys have seen me turn Christmas ornaments into hot air balloons before, but I added some new models this year with an upgraded basket that I'm really loving: My friend Sharyn showed me how to make it, and then I experimented a little and found a way to streamline the design further: It only takes a few minutes of cutting and folding some metal filigree to make, and it hangs so much better than the wicker dollhouse baskets I used last time. And hey, these aren't just for Christmas! Depending on the ornaments you choose, you could hang your balloons year round in front of a window, in a nursery, as part of a mobile, etc. So let's make some baskets! You Will Need: - Bead Landing "Found Objects" filigrees, I believe available at Michael's (It only takes one filigree per basket, so this pack will make two.) - Small cutting nips - Small flat pliers - [Optional] colorful nail rhinestones, for bling! Step 1) Cut through the filigree joints at the red lines indicated, using your small nips. (This may mangle the soft metal a little. That's ok.) Step 2) Fold up only two opposing side panels at the teal lines indicated, leaving the other two panels down for now. Your piece will look like this: Step 3) On the two raised panels, use your pliers to fold the side edges IN, forming a right angle: Sorry the focus is off! The bit you're folding will form a pie wedge, because it's fatter at the top. Here, my next photo is a little clearer: Step 4) Cut at the red lines indicated, and discard the pieces outside the lines. (Or save them to decorate your balloon!) When you've done both sides, your piece should look like this: Step 5) Now fold up those two panels, and your basket is done! As you can see, cutting the excess off in Step 4 allows the last two flaps to fit seamlessly into the design, with almost no overlap. Pretty, right? Optional Step 6) Glue on tiny nail gems for sparkle! I like to use colors that match the balloon. Now you can hang the basket from your balloon ornament using string, chain, or even wire: I've tried all three options and have no clear favorite, so just use whatever works for you! Happy basket making! Here's my original hot air balloon tutorial. Or, want to see ALL my craft projects and tutorials?
