I thought this was cute, the only thing, since it is a balloon I'd be worried about the little ones that put things in their mouths.

So different - I don't know if I like it or not. Mainly, like you said before, it really is a choking hazard. But for sure unique!
I used to have those hair clips with the not inflated balloons tied all around it. Those were fashionable in the 80's lol!

I can't decide if I like it or not...is that normal?

I'm not a fan of it but it sure is unique! I've seen the ones like Shannon mentioned, and I like those but agree with the choking hazard issue.

Nice but not sure if I would make a balloon clip. Dangerous if it pops especially for small kids.

I would have thought the hot glue would affect the balloons, pop or melt them? I don't know...

Has anyone tried this? I thought it was cute and tried to make one. It is not easy to stuff cotton in balloons and my petals looked funny shaped. I never made it to the hot glue stage because it was so misshapen.

Maybe it was just me, but it was not worth the hassle. Would welcome any suggestions on it.

I think everyone here pretty much wrote that one off as a dont try because of the balloon safety hazard.

I wouldn't try making this , I once had a bow made for my daughter and it was pretty at first with the little ballons but after a while the ballons starting to fall apart.

It was a great idea... making flowers with the use of balloons.

I don't like it, a little too weird for me...
