Paper Hot Air Balloon
$24.00 11.5" x 15.5"
Paper, Wax and Metal
Porto, PORTUGAL
THIS IS AN ONGOING ITEM!
Actually I'm not sure what the real origin of this is, I just know in Portugal the balloons are used for the São João Festival. As a kid in the 70s in Sweden, my sister and her boyfriend made the same type of balloon from scratch. It was a days work to cut and glue the different parts of the balloon together and when the evening came, the entire family went outside to fill the balloon with hot air with the help of a torch or hot air gun. Quite often, it ended up in a dramatic fire. This comes with wax to light to create hot air which fills the balloon so it takes off, up, up and away. Nice gift, best at dusk in an open space, no wind please. Instructions and video this way!
