We Need a Basket

While the newspaper was drying, I realized my hot air balloon needed something. What was it? A basket! Every hot air balloon needs a basket.

Materials:

b  Wooden popsicle sticks
b  Tacky glue
b Wax paper
b Patience
b Steady hands!

The base of the basket was made out of six wooden popsicle sticks from the craft store. I glued them together and set the base on wax paper so it wouldn't stick to my table. Then I built the sides of the basket by layering them, as you can see in the pictures. Pretty neat, huh?
