How to Make a Pop-Up Paper Balloon: Part 1

Hi, I'm Karen for Expert Village. I'm going to show you how to make paper balloons. Paper balloons are a great treat that can be folded flat, and sent through the mail, like this. This is a fancy one. I'll show you another one that?s cute. You just take it like that, and you blow through this hole. You can hang that as an ornament. Right now, I'm going to show you how to put a special message inside the paper. balloon that someone could look at through the hole. What you'll need is just a regular sheet of paper. This is an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet, and we're going to cut it into a square. You can make the paper balloon out of any piece of paper that is a square and it will just come out different sizes, depending on what size you use. We're using an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet. You'll want some nice markers or colors to do some drawing inside, and a pair of scissors if you do not have a square piece of paper. The first thing we'll do is make our paper square. You can either use a paper cutter, or I'm going to make this square by folding it diagonally right to the point over on this side, and match the edges exactly to here, and then just fold that right in half. At this point you can either fold it up like this, crease it and cut along that crease, or take a pencil and just run it along the edge of the paper, like that. That's your cutting line, and we'll cut that in half, and that will give us a square piece of paper.
