Halloween candy filled paper balloons


  Halloween candy filled paper balloons

Materials: 

Folding paper (origami paper), 

bowl 

*patience*


Craft level: Medium (unless you are good at paper folding)


My idea came from well living in Asia for a few years. I'm currently teaching ESL to young kids and when Halloween rolls around here there isn't much in ways of decor and costumes. So I make some for Easter in pastel colors and for Halloween in black and orange and then teach my students how to make them as an activity for the holidays. I learned how to make these from my Japanese teacher when I was really young. It stuck with me because she explained it in a simple way and now hopefully you'll pick it up too...

*Once you make one you'll see that the next few come easily. Don't give up if you don't get it right the first time. I have successfully taught this to my five year old students. So give it a good go!


Step 1: Fold the paper into a triangle.
Step 2: Unfold the paper
Step 3: Fold the other half to make another triangle
Step 4 Unfold the paper ( It should look like a kite)
Step 5: *tricky part* take in sides to create one triangle again.
Step 6: Fold loose flaps up to create a diamond
Step 7: Flip and repeat on the other side
Step 8: Take the sides of the "diamond and fold in to create mini triangles.
**you'll notice that there is a mall pocket in these mini triangle
Step 9: repeat on back side
Step 10: With the loose flaps fill these pockets
Step 11: Hold from opposite corners and blow
Step 12: Fill with 1 or 2 small candies










Here is other instructions that I found online..Happy crafting~

Thank You!

Hey guys, Just saw that this little blog has reached close to 1000 views. I'm really excited you all found time to visit this blog. A lot has been going on in my life. I moved to Australia and now trying to manage two blogs this one and my http://cancookncraft.weebly.com/. I'm dealing with the ins and outs of everyday life and trying to study, maintain a house and myself. It's been one crazy year so far, I'm also getting used to the metric system and everything being backwards. In the coming months I'll post more to this blog my main blog will be the weebly blog because it allows me more structure for my blog. I hope you guys check that one out as well. I'd be happy to hear from some of you. What are your thoughts I see the views but no comments. Thanks again, CC
