How to fold an origami easy water balloon
Fold the corners of a diamond behind into a plump balloon, then a tiny pleat at the bottom pops the point out as the tied knot.
You need: 1 square sheet, blue or bright green on one side. Easy, 5 steps, about 3 minutes.
Steps
- Sides behind. Put the square coloured side up like a diamond. Fold the left and right corners behind a little.
- Top behind. Fold the top corner behind, a bit more than the sides.
- Round the top. Fold the two top corners behind on slants, so the balloon gets a round top.
- Point behind. Fold the bottom point behind.
- Tie the knot. Behind, fold the point back down a little higher so its tip pokes out below. That's the knot.
Splash!
Draw a white shine near the top. Make a whole bucket of them for a pretend water fight.
