Origami Hot Air Balloon, How to Make it

5 months ago

Hello Everyone!
I make an origami hot air balloon today. I have never made hot air balloons before. There are other ways to make it. Need to fold one paper piece for the basket and eight paper pieces for the balloon envelope. I fold them with two colors. I think this is very beautiful and nice.

In the first step, the paper for the basket is cut by the same length and width with 8cm. Fold the paper in half four times and fold it inwards according to the folding lines. Fold the two sides to the middle line and spread them. Have to fold these two sides to the back again. Fold the other side in the same way. Fold the top edge down and fold the area step by step as shown. Fold the other surfaces in the same way. The next step is to spread it to form a basket.

I cut the paper for the balloon envelope with 15cm, 7.5cm. Fold the paper in half step by step to make a wavy shape. The edges from each side must also be folded. Fold the two sides as shown. Fold it in half and fold it to one side of the center line to make four equal parts. On the other side, make a folding line. Draw lines on it with a pencil and fold them. These folding lines must be gathered as shown. It is a bit difficult. Gather the other side to the middle according to the folding lines. Another seven paper pieces must be folded in the same way. The next step is to glue them together. Attach it with the basket.

Actually, it took time to make the balloon envelope. After making this one, I really like it. I also take beautiful pictures. Thank you so much for your reading my post to the end.
