Difficulty level: Beginner

Things you’ll need:
Balloon
White construction paper (cut into a large square)
Green construction paper (cut into a small square)
2 – Green pipe cleaners

Things to do:
1. Make your flower petals by folding your large white paper square in half, corner to corner making a triangle.
2. Create a smaller triangle by folding this paper triangle again, corner to corner.
3. Create an even smaller triangle by folding this triangle again, corner to corner.
4. Hold the point of your paper triangle where all of your folds meet and cut a curve on the opposite end of your triangle. This is your petal design, so shape it the way you would like.
5. Now snip the point of your triangle where all the folds meet.
6. Open your paper up and you should have a petal design with a small hole in the center of your paper circle.
7. Do steps 1-6 with your small green paper square. Make sure the whole at the center of this piece is fairly small so that your balloon knot will fit snugly through it.
8. Blow up your balloon to a size that is big enough to write on but not big enough to cover up your petal paper, and knot it closed.
9. Twist the ends of your pipe cleaners around your balloon knot.
10. Twist your 2 pipe cleaners together
11. Slip your white petal paper on your pipe cleaners through the center hole.
12. Slip your green sepal paper onto your pipe cleaners through the center hole, and carefully pull the balloon knot through your paper holes to secure into place.
13. Write a message with permanent marker on your balloon and create many more balloon flowers for a fun, pollen-free bouquet!
