On the "How Can I Recycle This?" website, I discovered that you can use the end of the balloon as a small rubber band or a ponytail holder. Additionally, one commenter on the post also came up with the idea of adorning flips by tying the popped balloons on them. Festive!
From Michelle Paige's blog, I learned that they can be made into colorful bracelets. Take a look at her creation:

| From www.michellepaige.blogspot.com Michelle gives a step-by-step description on how to create one of these bracelets. The craft looks like it may take a little bit of work but it isn't anything that isn't manageable. I foresee this as a craft for my daughter in the future! I hate using balloons because of the waste involved. However, now I know of some creative ways to use the balloon remnants! |
Wow! How exciting to be featured on your blog. Thank you! Yes, the bracelets do take a bit of time, but my 9 year old made some by himself last summer. Let me know if you try it out. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that's a smart way to reuse those balloon skins (that's what I call them when they're deflated haha).
