You should end up with and round balloon shape.
The tops of each panel will join at the top.
There will be a hole in the bottom
It should look a bit like this
With the help of an adult, use a hairdryer on a warm setting and
fill the balloon with air (make sure you keep hold of the balloon).
Once it is filled with warm air, let go!!!
Your balloon should rise.
This is because warm air moves around and takes up more
space than cool air. This make the air in the balloon lighter than
the air outside.
