2 Open your folder and cut it with the measurement of 10x12 and paste one of the construction paper you have cut earlier on one side of the folder
3 Paste the second construction Paper on the opposite side of the folder
4 Choose a new construction paper. Open your folder and paste the chosen paper there.
5 Go back to the front part of your folder and cut out 5 balloons using your scissors and construction paper. Once done, cut different sizes of yarns and attach it to each balloon using double sided tape. Place them on the front page, arrange them a little and then only glue the balloons not the strings.
6 Gather the strings and arrange them to the center. Then use the double sided tape to keep then all together and make a little ribbon out of the construction paper and paste it on the center of the strings.
