DIY Hot Air Balloons
Make whimsical hot air balloon decorations using balloons/paper lanterns, sticks, boxes, and strings.

Next, tie strings from the top of each stick to the knot of the balloon, ensuring the strings are evenly spaced and the balloon sits directly above the box. The box acts as the “basket,” and you can fill it with small flowers, candies, or a cute stuffed animal.

Create oversized baby blocks by wrapping small cardboard boxes in colorful paper. Decorate each box with a letter or image, spelling out words like “BABY” or the baby’s name. These blocks can be stacked to create a playful focal point.
Balloon Arch
