Embroidery Thread "Balloon" Decoration

Imagine spicing your room up with some colorful intricate decorations that look extremely hard to make, but secretly you know they were very simple and quick.

See the hanging oval shapes.  It isn't the best picture, especially with the background but, there will be a close up picture farther down to give a better sense of what they look like in reality.  They are a great way to add color, especially in my white and dull dorm room.

What you need:
embroider threads or yarn
*water
*flour
bowl
balloons
scissors

*I used water and flour mixed together which did the job; however you can just water down glue and use that.  I don't know if it will dull the color of the embroidery thread.

When you have everything you need, combine the flour and water together.  I used about six tablespoons of flour into a large bowl of water.  I probably didn't need that much flour; however I wanted to make sure I had enough.

Blow up as many balloons as you would like.

Take the embroidery thread or yarn and put it into the water mixture.  Only use one thread at a time or they will tangle together.  The thread tangles very easy and I had a harder time keeping it from tangling.  If you have a wooden block or something like that, that you could put in the center of the bowl and wrap the thread around so it won't tangle, that might be helpful.

Once you feel the thread is soaked in the mixture start wrapping it around the blown up balloons.  I had this embroidery thread:

I used a whole one on each balloon, so you will need quite a bit of thread.  Wrap the thread until you are happy with it.  Set the balloon aside and leave over night.  Once they are dried pop the balloons.  Walla you have beautiful easy decorations that bring life and color to a bland room.  

I promised a close up of the decoration and this is what it looks like:
