Hot air baloons for Baptism

Some of you have recently asked me for gift ideas, or rather, favors ideas for the Baptism; so I started looking and I came across these colorful and original hot air balloons carrying confetti.
Perfect to remember an important day like Baptism and with a unique meaning: freedom and desire to discover the world, in short, a perfect wish for a new life that has come into the world.

Realizing them could be a bit 'complicated, but I will try to simplify the thing by describing each step in the best way possible.

1. Print and cut out the shape of the balloon using colored cardboard. Repeat the operation with two or three different colored cards. (figures 1 and 2)

3. Gently open each side of the balloon to shape the balloon (figure 4)
4. Cut away the handle of the basket and at the points where the handle was fixed, go and glue two toothpicks with hot glue, one on one side and the other on the other side. (figure 5)
5. Always use hot glue to fix the tip of the toothpicks to the hot air balloon (figure 6)
6. Fill the basket with confetti or candies.
7. If you want to better protect the wedding favor you can do it by wrapping it with transparent paper and close with a colored ribbon.

I find them fantastic, not only because they are made entirely by hand, but also because they give so much joy and contain a very important meaning.
