DIY: Lace Balloon
May 15, 2012 in DIY, Ottawa Stylist, Product Stylist, Styled Shoot
What you will need:
- Lace – I would suggest getting one with a defined repeating pattern that can easily be cut into pieces. I used 1 meter of lace per 3 foot balloon
- Wall Paper Glue and lots of it! (make sure it dries clear)
- A soft paint brush
- Wax Paper
- Scissors
- 3 foot balloons in white x 3
- String
- A place to hang said 3 foot balloons
Here is what you will need to do.
Cut the lace out so that you have small pieces to work with. This will ensure that you have a nice round and flat lace balloon with no folds. Mine turned out to be kinda triangular and it worked great. Once you have all your pieces cut out you can start.
Start By GENEROUSLY coating the lace in wall paper glue.
Apply the lace onto the balloon next and I would suggest starting from the top and working your way down. My picture is the opposite since my balloons floated first….
Repeat those steps until the entire balloon is covered in lace.
(Here you can see where all my seams are but you won’t notice them from far away)
Once your entire balloon in covered go back over any pieces that are sticking up with your paint brush.
Then let dry for 24 hours & enjoy!
Stay tuned to see these babies in action….
