I posted last week or so and asked for help in making yarn balloons- I ended up using 'Stiffy'- not only was it super easy but it worked great!!!
I finished three hot air balloons for my youngest son's room. Here's a pic of them hanging up in his room.


Just thought I'd share!

Re: F/U yarn balloons w/ PIP
I found "Stiffy" at the craft store and used that. Less sticky than Elmers and much easier to use. Once I got a technique that worked, I was able to get them done quickly.
Tip- I wrapped my yarn into a ball and then dipped the ball into the Stiffy stuff, squeezed lightly and then wrappped, dip-squeeze-wrap- etc.
And thanks ladies for all the suggestions and help! B loves them. We ended up having to move his crib over more because he was trying to climb up to grab them, even though they were too high to reach. This morning he woke up and said "Ooooooo. Momma. This this, oooo" He says this for look.
