Print This Tutorial
Tools:
Color Printer
1
Scissors
Crayons, Watercolors or Markers
1
Single Hole Punch
Adhesive or Glue Stick
Supplies:
Cardstock Paper
Printed Picture
Twine or Ribbon
Instructions:
First print out our provided printable, in color, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You only need one print per craft.
Go ahead and color in the empty frosting section in the printable, however you like. Really make it your own!
Once done, trim out the frosting and basket pieces in the printable. Discard the remaining paper.
Set aside your pieces.
Next grab your printed picture, colored cardstock and scissors.
Trim around the "body" of your printed picture, so you can "ride" in the hot air balloon.
Next, take the colored cardstock and cut out a cherry with a stem, for on top of your cupcake.
When done with the above steps, you are ready to start assembling your cupcake hot air balloon.
Grab the hole punch, all your paper pieces, scissors and twine.
Go ahead and hole punch holes in the provided spots on the two printables.
Now secure your pieces together with two pieces of long twine. The frosting will be on top and the basket, of course on the bottom.
Finally, adhere your body picture inside the basket with a little adhesive, as well as the paper cherry to the top of everything.
And that's it! Add other embellishments you see fit. Then display your cupcake hot air balloon proudly for all to see!
