For each Barbie balloon:
2 1/4" balloon-I just laid a ruler across the widest part of an un-inflated balloon
half of a pipe cleaner
ping-pong ball
glue is optional
Note: I will say the ping-pong balls from Dollar Tree are a little heavier than what I've traditionally known... So if you can use 'real' ping-pong balls, that would be best.
Cut rolled end off of balloon so it's easier to stretch open.
Stretch balloon over ball.
Tighten up the balloon so it lays smooth over the ball.
Wrap pipe cleaner around bottom of balloon and twist closed.
Trim the excess from the bottom so it looks like the balloon was tied closed.
(I tried rolling it up, not worth it folks...)
Straighten the pipe cleaners and twist the bottoms together to create a balloon bouquet,
that will also make it easier to wrap around Barbie's hand so she can carry the balloons.
Since my ping-pong balls are a little heavy I hot glued the balloons together,
I didn't want them flopping around on the pipe cleaners.
And speaking of bubbles, there's a tutorial for a Fairy Bubble Wand for Barbie HERE.
And yes, it really worksπ
Barbie says balloons just make everything better!
πMake something just for fun and have a happy dayπ
