It's cool making a balloon tree. And it turn out beautiful let us journey on the process of it's making.
Firstly, I picked up a biro cup that has finished from the trash. I cleaned it properly and kept it aside. Then I picked a stick from a scent leaf plant that has some small branches, so it could look like a real tree. I painted the stick brown using poster color.
After that, I measured the cup round, the circumference, and transferred the measurement to a carton. I cut out the same size and peeled off the first layer of the carton so that it would show the wavy #design under it. I sprayed it with black paint and added shining dust before it dried, so the dust could stick and make it glitter.
When I finished painting the stick, I fixed it inside the cup and filled it with gravel to make it firm and strong. Then I glued the carton design around the cup to decorate it.
Next, I got different balloons in different colors. I also got some fiber and put it inside the balloons to make them full. Then I used a fishing line to cross tape the balloons so they would form the shape of a fruit. The shape looked like tomatoes. After shaping them, I used my glue gun and candle wax gum to attach the balloons to the branches of the tree. These balloons became the fruits on my tree.
At the end, my balloon tree looked bright, shining, and full of colorful fruits.
This white round #pattern was gotten from a new patress long time ago when I went for CCTV #installation in an hotel. And it's useful today.

This beautiful balloon tree calls my attention to something that life is a process. Every step that made the balloon tree beautiful came together through different stages. Each part added something that made it come out good and so lovely.
I also noticed something special in the process. Before the tree could stand, I had to get a cup and insert the stick inside it. Then I filled the cup with gravel so it could have a strong and solid foundation to carry everything that would be placed on it.
This shows that in life, we also need a very solid foundation. Whatever value we build on ourselves depends on how strong our foundation is. When your foundation is solid, you have the capacity to carry more values. But when your foundation is weak, you will not have the strength to hold what life brings to you.
So, build a good foundation, get good values, and keep adding value to yourself. Keep working on yourself daily, because life will always bring different things to shape you.
