Let's start.

First you need to draw a balloon pattern (just by hand) and cut out the blanks for 6 bright yellow balloons, 7 light yellow balloons, 7 light pink balloons, 7 beige balloons, 8 bright pink balloons and 7 coral balloons. 42 balloons total.

Start overstitching the balloons from the right edge . Do not sew the "tail".

When 2/3 are sewn, stuff the balloon with batting.

When you reach the tail, make 2 more overstitches and tightening it at the base. Make a couple of loops around and stop stitching passing the needle through the two halves to hide the knot.

Sew all 42 balloons this way.

Make a harmonious layout by colour.

Glue the balloons together. Begin from the top. Try not to press them tightlly to prevent deformation.

Now the cloud. Cut out two halves of white felt.

Overstitch it gradually filling with batting.

Cut out the letters of your child's name of different colours. I made letters of 2.5 cm for Lucy :)

Glue the letters to the felt cloud with textile glue.

Move on to flats. Patterns again, all by hand. Draw out the contour with the tailor's marker and cut out.

First, sew the back part. Try to retreat from the edge as little as possible.

Now overstitch the sole.

Fills the inner part with batting a bit for volume.

Now assemble!

Balls + cloud + flats. Do this with the help of satin ribbons. Sew them to the first balloon. Then collect them at the base, make a couple of stitches to secure and sew them to the back of the cloud.

Two ribbons are sewn to the boots. Add a bow, the buttons and the rhinestone:

Now sew a loop to hang:

And all is done!

This interior decoration will delight the child and always bring good mood!
