With Father's Day approaching, our thoughts turn to what we 

can make for the Dad's of the world.

This year my stash of Couture Creations dies has given me an idea

 

 

A hot air balloon that you can fill with sweets.

I don't have instructions for this yet, but will repost again

with a template later.

Because I made the template up it took several 

attempts before I got it right, lots of cardstock down the drain!

Eventually I was happy with it, but forgot to take 

photos of step by steps 

 

But basically I have made a small box from cardstock, die cut 

out 8 squares of patterned paper and adhered to the sides and insides of the box

Affix 4 bamboo skewers to the inside of the box and also decorate the box.

Cut 4 balloon shapes, fold in half and adhere to

each other to form the balloon.

add a strip of cardstock 

across the bottom and attach to bamboo 

skewers as shown,

Die cut Siblings die from black cardstock and adhere around the edges.

Die cut banners and affix to the sides of the balloon.
