Cost: $10

Equipment

  • 1 balloon pump

Materials

  • 3 white twisting balloons
  • 4 colorful twisting balloons

Instructions

  • Blow up three white balloons to the end and tie them closed
  • Blow up four colorful balloons in descending lengths. I blew the red one up to four feet, the yellow to three feet, the green to two feet, and the last one, which was blue, up to one foot. These are approximate lengths.
  • Take the three white balloons and set them all side-by-side. Twist the ends together one end.
  • Somewhat loosely braid the balloons and twist them at the other end. I say to make it somewhat loose because if you braid it too tight and squeeze balloons into the braided balloons, one is bound to pop from too much pressure.
  • Add your longest colorful balloon by tucking it into the spaces between the braid on both ends.
  • Add the next longest balloon just inside the long one
  • Continue until all four balloons are arches tucked into the braided cloud
  • You can trim the excess empty balloon parts
