What can you make from balloons?
To make a variety of decor and toys you will need the most ordinary balloons. It doesn't matter whether they have designs on them or not, as our fakes can combine the most colorful kaleidoscope of colors. Let's take a closer look at the basic ideas with which you can start modeling from ordinary balloons.
Let's start with the simplest and end with the most interesting.
DIY lampshade made from a balloon and thread
Do you want to have stylish and unusually beautiful pendant lights in your kitchen or bedroom?
Then try this amazingly simple project. Inflate the balloon to the size you need. Then, after soaking the thread in glue, wrap it around the balloon. The balloon should be wrapped at different angles and in different directions. You should get an unusual openwork pattern that resembles a cobweb.
Now you need to give the craft time to dry thoroughly. When everything is dry, puncture the balloon, wait for it to deflate and carefully remove it from the mold.
With a ready-made lampshade, you can update old lamps and chandeliers and decorate rooms in an apartment or country house with them.
Inflatable figures
Probably each of you has come across crafts made from sausage balls in amusement parks or at some holidays. To make them you will need special balls in the form of long sausages. From such inflatable balls you can easily create a variety of decorations, animals, plants or some other fakes. It all depends on the number of balls available and their quality.
The simplest thing is to make a flower. To do this, we need only one inflatable sausage and five regular-shaped balls, one of which should be of a different color (for the middle of the flower). You inflate everything together, combine it into a composition, tie it with the ends of a balloon or tie it with thread.
What inflatable figures can you come up with:
- Bear,
- Dinosaur,
- Flowers,
- Snake,
- Items of clothing,
- and other interesting items.
Chocolate vase
If you want to surprise your guests and your family, then be sure to take advantage of this unusual idea for making chocolate vases.
Melt the chocolate and lower an inflated balloon into it (the balloon should be washed well beforehand) to the desired size. Then give the chocolate time to harden and feel free to remove the ball.
If you want to achieve unusual shapes, simply pour melted chocolate over the inflated balloon.
Thus, you can make bowls, vases and openwork plates for your homemade desserts. You can serve fruits, ice cream, cakes, whipped cream and other goodies in chocolate vases.

Balloon figures. How to make crafts from balloons with your own hands?
Antistress
Probably the simplest anti-stress balls will be water-based, however, one should not forget about filling the ball to the maximum extent with water. Additionally, you can protect the ball from being punctured by placing one ball inside another. Tie it on top, or add “colored hair” to the toy using threads. It will turn out to be a very funny anti-stress.
Of course, you can use starch to replace water, which will nicely keep the shape of our toy. Crafts made from long balls in the form of anti-stress come out quite interesting if you make them in the form of figure eights or sausages. It is enough to fill it with one of the ingredients (water or starch) and you will get a very funny anti-stress.
Based on the idea of anti-stress, you can make yourself a whole animal team or create a unique collection of different characters.
What can you come up with based on anti-stress figures:
- cartoon characters,
- Board game toys,
- pillows,
- Massagers,
- and other interesting ideas.
thread ball
For lovers of original crafts made from threads, we will tell you how to make a craft from a ball and threads. To do this you will need a round balloon, thread and PVA glue:
- fill the balloon with air;
- lubricate it with vegetable oil (so that later the threads can easily move away from the ball), you can wrap the ball in cellophane;
- Lubricate the thread generously with glue (you can pour the glue into a container, then moisten the threads in it);
- wrap the ball with threads, directing them in different directions.
You need to let the ball dry well, then carefully pierce it. You will get an openwork ball that can be used to decorate the room.
Thread jewelry
In order to make such a decor, it is enough to inflate a balloon to the required volume and tie terry threads onto it. Please note that works with different color combinations will look very interesting. In order for the work to stick, you will need to lubricate the threads with glue and let them dry. PVA glue is more than suitable for these purposes.
After your workpiece has dried, deflate the balloon and hang the product from a chandelier or on the ceiling. It will also perfectly decorate any lamp.
In addition, it is quite interesting to make Easter eggs from threads. Just wrap threads around an egg-shaped ball, let them dry, and this product will become a rather interesting decoration for your Easter basket. DIY Easter crafts made from threads and a ball look quite interesting, bright and unusual, and most importantly – original!

DIY confetti vase made from a balloon
You can make this colorful vase for sweets with your own hands in a matter of minutes.
Inflate the balloon, cover part of it with a layer of glue and apply a thick layer of confetti on top of the glue. Give it time for everything to dry thoroughly. Then burst the balloon and carefully separate it from the frozen composition.
Trim the edge of the vase using scissors.
This unusual bright vase will be an excellent decoration in any interior.
Original bottle packaging
Tired of the usual look of a plastic bottle? You can add originality just by placing a ball on the bottle. Moreover, this will protect the bottle from overheating and keep the cold inside, especially if you wrap the bottle with foil and put a ball on top of it. Now the child can paint the new “wrapper” with colored markers.
Thanks to this method, you can easily protect your phone and other important things from rain. Simply wrap them in a ball.
You can make an interesting phone case in the same way. It is enough to cut our workpiece to fit the base. You can make an item of clothing for your smartphone in the form of a T-shirt or shorts, which is unlikely to be available to anyone else 
As you can see, there are quite a lot of topics and ideas, but balloon toys still occupy a special place. Thanks to them, you can keep your child busy with an interesting game or come up with your own game based on a variety of characters. Similar toys can be made for pets. For example, cats really love catnip.
It is enough just to wrap a few slices in paper, which should then be wrapped in a ball and a couple of punctures made. The ball is not tightly stuffed with paper, the smell will come out of it and your pet will be quite interested in playing with the new toy.

Bear made of balloons
This craft in the shape of a bear will definitely appeal to both children and adults. This original toy can be an interesting decoration to create a festive atmosphere, or the bear can simply be a very unusual gift. Buying a bear made of balloons will not be cheap, and why spend money if you can make it yourself and, at the same time, it will be quite no worse.
For the craft you will need:
- 5 large round balls of any color
- Linkolun
- 3 small balls of a different color from the big balls.
- 4 small balls of the same color as the big ones.
- 2 oblong balls
- Beads
- Unnecessary ball
So, first of all, you need to inflate all the balloons, this will not take you much time. Now take four balls and tie them together, these will be the back legs of the bear and also the basis for the figurine. In order for the craft to stand, you will need to make a weight for this base; this task is very simple to complete. To do this, you need to take a small unnecessary ball and pour a little water into it, tie the weight well in a knot and tie it to the place where the 4 balls meet.
After this, you need to make the body, it is quite simple, to make it you will need one linkolun, which must be attached to the base. The body is ready.
Now you need to take 4 small balls of the same color as the large ones and tie them together. Now attach the resulting structure to the linkolun on top and proceed to making the head. This is the hardest part of making a balloon bear. To make the head, take a large balloon and inflate it, mark the places for the ears and muzzle and deflate the head. Drive the beads into the places you marked and wrap them with pieces of torn balls. After this, you can carefully inflate the balloon. Now make the ears and nose. The ears and nose need to be done using a technique called bullseye; you can find out more about this technique on the Internet. Now connect the parts to the head, and draw the eyes.
Attach the head to the rest of the structure and make handles. To do this, inflate two oblong balloons and make twists at their ends that connect at the ends. Now we attach the arms to the body and, if desired, decorate the bear with small details. That's all, the balloon bear craft is ready.
