Paper Mache Balloon - Let dry over night

Add Bees to string or fishing wire and attach at bottom of Hive


Materials needed:
How to:
  1. Blow up your balloon and tie the end to keep the air in
  2. Tie a piece of string to the end so you can hang it from the ceiling or a light fixture (to dry and display)
  3. Mix some water and flour in a bowl (this is to paper mache with, but you can use your own recipe) or click here to find one you like Paper Mache Recipes
  4. Dip strips of paper in mixture and place on balloon until its completely covered. I only did one layer, but you can do more to make it firmer
  5. Let dry over night.
  6. Put some glue on the area you want to start with and add some honeycomb cereal.
