Build a Compostable Balloons Den
We had so much fun with this idea and – considering how easy it is to build – I would say it’s certainly a great summer party hack!
We built our den in about 30 minutes and had literally a whole weekend of entertainment and fun in return! Giving so much joy to our guests was also amazing – they all loved hanging out with their picnic under the balloon den!
