How to make a decorative hot air balloon
First blow up a balloon until it is slightly smaller than you want your finished one to be; knot it.
Now get some papier mache and cover your balloon with it; leave a small section at the bottom clear.
Make sure there are no wrinkles in your papier mache.
While you wait for the papier mache to dry, acquire (or weave) a basket the right size for your balloon and get some string. When the papier mache has dried pop the plastic balloon and remove its remnants.
