Are you looking for a fresh and creative decoration for your home? These sewn fabric balloons are unique and add a cheerful, upbeat flair to any room. In these step-by-step instructions, you will learn how to sew your own cheerful fabric balloons.
Create fabric cuts
Every fabric balloon starts with the right template. Print out the two motif templates, stick them together to form a balloon and transfer them twice onto the fabric as an outline for each balloon and then cut them out (allow for a seam allowance of approx. 1 cm when cutting out).
Making fabric balloons
The next step is to sew the two fabric cuts together. Use the loop stitch for this, a simple hand stitch that ensures beautiful and stable edges. If you are not familiar with this stitch: It is often used to join two fabric edges together, with the thread always going around the edges of the fabric.
Sew the parts together, but leave a small opening: now stuff the decorative balloon through the opening with fill wadding until it has a nice plump shape and looks voluminous.
Once you have filled the balloon, sew the opening with the loop stitch. Only leave the bottom edge of the balloon tip open.
The perfect finish
Close the remaining opening with a pretty satin ribbon. This not only gives the balloon the perfect look, but also allows you to attach it flexibly. Optionally, you can use a round bar as a "balloon bar" to create a real eye-catcher! To do this, plug the round bars into the bottom of the balloon tip and attach it to the balloon through the satin.
