A long time ago---and I simply cannot find it---someone was considering how to make a putz "hot air balloon"---the "basket portion" was easy enough but they wanted something different for the balloon---other than paper mache or s strofoam ball.

I have been following some Russian crafters on youtube--(don't worry, the videos transcend language) and came across this tutorial for a flitter foam---turned upside down, however, it occurred to me that this would make a great covering for a styrofoam ball "balloon"....just a thought...........enjoy
