cheap and easy fall decoration

I took 2 packs of the Dollar Tree foam dice, 1 bag of 12" balloons and some vinyl letters I cut on my Cricut

and I turned them into this
Instead of painting the dice you cover them with the balloons. I used 2 balloons for each but if you look close enough you can still see the color through some of the balloons. A third one could be used if you were bothered by that. I wasn't.

Wow, this is sO unusual, I have never heard of such a craft!!

MadSnapper said...

is a pretty cool and you could use any color balloon and use them for any holiday. Now you need to do a tutorial on how you get the balloon to stick on there like that

Really so clever!

Rose said...

That is so cute.. I cannot see the color coming through...but I am on my phone.

Martha said...

That is so cool, love it!

Kate said...

You are so clever!! Was it difficult to get the dice into the balloons?
I like cheap and easy, lol.

Sandee said...

How fun. I still have the fall decorations you sent me years ago.

Have a fabulous day, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥

Great idea to use the balloons. I love when folks think outside the box or in this case the square dice. Okay, that was some pretty dull humor.

Grace said...

OK, but how do you cover the soft spongy dice with the balloons? Stuff the dice into the balloons? Cut the balloons and then glue them to the dice? Come on, I really need to know.

Debby@Just Breathe said...

That is really cute. How do you get the balloon to go over the dice?

Ann said...

Ginny, There is a dollar tree cricut craft facebook page that I follow and they had these on there along with lots of other really cool ideas

Anni, thanks, not my idea but I can copy quite nicely :)

Sandee, Glad what I sent you is holding up.

Pam I get lots of ideas from the Dollar tree cricut craft group on Facebook

Grace, the balloon gets stretched over the dice. I did a video for tomorrows post

Andrea, there are plenty of things I can't do :)

Cynthia, I love the ideas people come up with and share,

That's so neat! I agree that the sharing aspect of the internet is wonderful. Somehow it gives us hope for the world.

Linda said...

Super great idea!!! I would never have thought of that!

CrystalChick said...
