1, prepare a square piece of paper and choose a piece of paper with bright colors, which can add more interest to the paper balloon.
2. Fold the square paper in half and unfold it. This step is to determine the main axis of the paper balloon and prepare for the subsequent folding.
3. Fold the upper left corner of the paper in half so that the lower right corner and the lower left corner are aligned with the crease. Then turn the paper over, fold the upper right corner in half, and align the lower left corner and the lower right corner with the crease. This step is to form the bottom of the paper balloon.
4. Fold the lower left corner of the paper in half to the right, so that the upper right corner and the lower left corner are aligned with the crease. Then turn the paper over and fold the lower right corner in half to the left, so that the lower left corner and the upper right corner are aligned with the crease. This step is to form the neck of the paper balloon.
5. Fold the lower left corner of the paper to the right again, so that the upper right corner and the lower left corner are aligned with the crease. Then turn the paper over and fold the lower right corner in half to the left, so that the lower left corner and the upper right corner are aligned with the crease. This step is to form the top of the paper balloon.
6. Cut a circle at the top as the opening of the balloon. This opening is used to blow balloons, so it needs to be cut smoothly and neatly.
7. The last step is to unfold the balloon. Inflate the balloon from top to bottom. When unfolded, the paper balloon will be round, just like a real balloon.
Matters needing attention when folding paper balloons:
1, paper selection: Choosing the right paper is very important for origami balloons. Generally speaking, lighter and more flexible paper is more suitable for origami balloons, because this paper can better shape and maintain the shape of balloons. For example, A4 paper or colored paper is a good choice.
2, folding skills: mastering the correct folding skills is the key to origami balloons. When folding, ensure that the folding is neat and accurate, and avoid irregular folding and folding. This can make the balloon more beautiful and durable.
3. Decoration and safety: When decorating paper balloons, we should pay attention to the use of safe and non-toxic decorative materials. Avoid using sharp decorations or glue that easily falls off, so as not to hurt children. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the balloon will not burst or cause other safety hazards when playing.
4. Making the balloon nozzle: The balloon nozzle is an important part of the paper balloon, which determines the sealing and blowing ability of the balloon. When making a balloon nozzle, the paper should be folded into a slender tube and a suitable opening should be cut out. Ensure that the incision is neat and smooth to avoid burrs or cracks.
