Ingredients
Materials Needed
- 1 large White balloon Recommended size of 10-12 inches.
- 1 set LED string lights Battery-operated.
- 1 bag Cotton balls or polyester stuffing For cloud texture.
- 1 length Clear fishing line Thinner is better for hanging.

Instructions
Crafting Steps
- Inflate the white balloon until it reaches a desirable size (around 10-12 inches). Tie it securely, leaving some extra balloon at the knot for easier handling.
- Use cotton balls or polyester stuffing, pinch and pull apart to create a fluffy texture.
- Apply hot glue to small sections of the balloon and press the cotton balls or stuffing onto the glued areas until the balloon is covered.
- Cut a length of clear fishing line and attach one end to the balloon knot for hanging.
- Poke a small hole at the bottom of the balloon and feed the LED string lights through, arranging them as desired.
- Sprinkle silver glitter or spray fabric paint on the cloud if desired, then hang your cloud from the ceiling using the fishing line.
Notes
Tips for customizations include using colored balloons, trying different sizes, swapping out white lights for colored LEDs, and experimenting with different materials for added textures.
