What craft can be made with deflated foil helium party balloons?

Question

I have about 8 and I would normally throw them away but they have sentimental meaning due to the person who gave them to me. I don't want to just store them, I'd like to make something out of it, a cool craft or something. In a Japanese store I saw a purse made of foil juice boxes, it was really hip.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

you can make cards and cut a window in the card,like a heart or something and put the cut the foil behind it to make it silver!

Answer 2

Use them as gift wrapping.
Cut them into perfect circles and put them in between 2 pieces of clear contact paper for festive placemats.
Glue them to a window shade.
Stuff them with fiberfill and then glue or tape them on the ceiling or as a border for the walls.
Fill them with beans and use them for bean bag tosses.
Cut one end open and attached handles made by cutting 3 continuous strips from other balloons and braiding them.

Answer 3

They are not strong enough for much. My son and I made a collage corkboard with ones from his birthday party. Just glued them down on the cork, framed it, and hung it in his room....it has been there for 6 years and he still uses it. You MUST cut off the back though, or it will just slip around, unless you staple it.

Answer 4

Consult someone who does scrapbooking. You could create a great cover. Or you could use them to make a collage that you could then frame for the memories involved.
