I made this cloth balloon tonight and wanted to share it with everyone. I was a little more than skeptical when I saw them on Etsy but I just loved the idea of them. I made one tonight after I ordered one to see if it was indeed what I thought it was! It took me a while to tweak my own pattern for it and make changes that I wanted so the next one I can add embroidery. My balloons are shorter and wider to accommodate the embroidery design. Now that I have it just the way I need it I can't wait to add the designs!!! I can imagine them used for baby showers, birthdays, get well wishes, weddings, oh my, it will all be up to the fabric and the design!!!! I really love them!!!! Hope you do too!!! I can't wait to get started on the improved ones tomorrow, I will definitely update with pictures with my progress :)
