Balloon!!!















Get Ballooned!!!

This is a super cool, easy and awesome way to make a fun 3D sphere.
And it's interactive~

Step one: Fold your paper diagonally (both ways)
















Step two:

Unfold that and fold your paper in half (both ways)
















Step three:

See that crease in the middle of your folded (in half) rectangle?

Yeah. That one. Now fold the rectangle in half again to make a square, and hold down everything to the left of that crease and open up the right side like this:
















Keep opening... keep folding...

and flatten!
















Step four:

repeat on the other side.

Step five:

Find the bottom corner of the triangle and fold it to the top of the triangle:




















Do this on all sides to make a square.

Step six: take the outside flap of one side of the square and fold it to the crease in the center.
















Do this to the other side as well.

Step seven:

If you turn around so the top of it is facing you, you will see a flap on top.
















On the same side, open up the flap on the side.

Step eight:

Put the to flap into the side flap like a hand into a pocket.















Now flatten it (please, don't want to be bossy (; )

And repeat to the other side.
















Yay! Now just do the exact same thing on the other side...

Step nine:

Turn your little project upside-down and find the small opening:















I'm going to sound crazy, but put your mouth on it.

BLOOOOOWWWW!

PHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUU
inflate!















Pop! You created a balloon!

(I honestly don't think it will float if you put helium in it, sorry )
