CANDY CARNIVAL HOT AIR BALLOON TABLE CENTRE | with Jennifer

Hello everyone. I'm so in love with Doodlebug's latest Halloween collection, Candy Carnival.

For my project, I knew I wanted to try making a hot air balloon. After finding a cutting file with the shape I liked, I made the balloon portion out of chipboard then covered it with patterned paper. The basket portion, however, was way too small for what I needed, so I created a large oval one to fit all the cute die-cut trick or treaters.

I decided to add some wheels and propellers to the piece to make it look like a whimsical carnival ride. 

The wood base was covered with patterned paper (one of my favorites from the collection). I also added some candy sprinkles and doodle-pop stickers to the base for some added texture.

Lots of black and white chunky twine was used throughout the piece, adding to the Halloween theme.

Thanks for joining me today.
