Q. What materials do you need to make a hot air balloon?
Most modern hot air balloons use nylon, which can withstand the heat and tension involved in a hot air balloon flight. The nylon is cut into panels and sewed together by skilled sewers. An individual panel is known as a gore, and a balloon can be made from four to 24 gores.

Q. What is tea bag paper?
Tea bag paper is made primarily from abaca hemp, a product of a Philippine banana tree that is also known as Manila hemp. This hemp is bleached and processed. The tea bags are then treated with a heat-sealable thermoplastic such as PVC or polypropylene on the inside.
The first manned balloon flight took place in Paris, France, on November 21, 1783. Coordinated by the Mongolfier brothers, Pilatre de Rozier and the Marquis Francois Laurent d’Arlandes were launched into the air in a balloon made of paper and linen. Smoke and heated air were used for the lifting gas.
Q. How do you make a hot air balloon out of a plastic bag?
- Open up the garbage bag and make the bag opening narrow using duct tape or similar.
- Blow hot air into the garbage bag using the hair dryer directed through the now small opening.
- After a few seconds, when the garbage bag is full of hot air, turn off the hairdryer and let go of the bag.
Open a hole at the bottom of the balloon and fit the balloon panels by tucking and gluing them together. Put the tape ring inside the opening, fold paper over it for about 1” and glue it in place.
Q. How big should a hot air balloon be?
A retail hot air balloon made of paper has a dimension of 15″ x 22.8″ x 40.6″. This is probably the minimum size to make a hot air balloon. There needs to be sufficient air space to be able to lift the weight of the materials used.
Q. How are the sides of a hot air balloon made?
Hot Air Balloon Construction. The long slanted parts will be glued together and will form the sides of the balloon envelope (the technical name for the outside of the balloon).
Q. How to make a balloon float in a hair dryer?
Hold the plastic bag over the hair dryer. Blast the dryer on high and give it a minute to warm up and fill completely with air. The bag will start to become buoyant. When it begins tugging, release the bag. The hot air inside the balloon is lighter, causing it to float.
