Hot Air Balloon Decorations

I created some fun decorations for our Escape to Create retreat this last weekend.

My favorite one is the hot air balloon mobile.  I cannot take credit for this idea.  I saw this at the OnStage event in November 2016 in Phoenix.  So adorable.  I wish I knew who created it.  If you are out there and happen to look at my blog please let me know it was you.

To create this mobile you need to cut 7-9 balloons for each completed balloon.  This is what makes them look 3D.

I used mason jar rings for the ring that the hot air balloons are hanging from.  My original idea was to spray paint the mason jar rings, but I didn’t end up getting to it.  I think they look cute silver too.
