Instructions

Step 1: Use the brush to apply two coats of paint to a tube, let dry.

Step 2: Blow up a balloon, knot the end, and to the bottom attach a length of ribbon that is about 6" longer than the tube.

Step 3: Tie the loose end of the ribbon to the paint or glue bottle (secure with tape if necessary) and drop it into the tube so that ribbon comes out the other end.

Step 4: Cut the ribbon from the paint or glue bottle, pull it taut and tape it to the inside of the tube. (The top of the tube should cover the balloon knot.)

Step 5: Cut a 3'x4' piece of cellophane, cinch around the balloon, and tie with ribbon.

Insert the loose paint or glue bottle in the bottom of the tube to help it stand up. Secure in place on the floor with strips of tape if necessary.
