Truffula Tree Party Hats
A fun balloon shaped truffula tree for a party decoration or party hat
Cost: $5
Materials
- 1 large bag twisting balloons
- 1 balloon pump
Instructions
Hat Base
- Blow up one balloon almost to the end and tie it
- Fold it in half, and using a person's head or a bowl about the same size as a child's head as a size guide, twist it together to form a hat
- You will have two long pieces extending out making it look like a fish
- Set that aside
Truffula Tree Top
- Blow up a balloon. Fold it in half. Twist the middle so it is twisted in half so there are two curved sides
- Fold those sides in half, twisting them in the center just like you did the long balloon
- You can twist the center a few times and shape your four oval sections to form a flower-shape
Truffula Tree Base
- You will use this balloon as a stem by attaching it to the flower-shaped tree top.
- I used green, but truffula tree bark is meant to be fun, so make it any color you want
- Blow this balloon up to only about 1 & 1/2 ft long. Tie it off. Tie off the other side of the balloon as well
- Use the long empty part of the balloon to attach it to the tree-top
- Twist it around and around the center of the flower-shaped top
- Twist one end around the center of the truffula tree top. Winding it in and out a few times to really secure it in place
- Wrap the other side around the hat base looping it around and twisting it to close the circle up and around the base.
- Now, you should have a truffula tree attached to a hat balloon base
