I have a big stack of old CDs after some recent spring cleaning. What better way to recycle them than with a fun craft, right?
We have used them before to make a pretty peacock craft and today we are sharing how to turn an old CD into a pretty hot air balloon. This CD Hot Air Balloon Craft is colorful and simple to make and is perfect for a summer kids craft.
Grab some old CDs and few other supplies and get ready for a high flying good time making this fun hot air balloon craft.
