LET’S MAKE A LITTLE SOMETHING
Rainbow hot-air balloon
61 pieces 18 steps
A bright rounded balloon rises above a small brown basket. Two visible white supports hold the sculpture together, ready for an imaginary journey.
Free instructions. No account needed.
Have these shapes handy: Curved brick, Double curved brick, Curved-bottom brick, Roof slope.
A little before you begin
The balloon and basket form one fixed sculpture. The white supports are part of the model.
It does not float or fly. Carry it underneath the basket and upper body together.
The basket is for a small paper passenger; compatibility with other brick figures is not assumed.
Count studs to check gaps and overhangs. New pieces keep their colour; earlier pieces look lighter. Before you build →
A LITTLE PREPARATION
Gather your pieces
Match the shapes and quantities. The pictures show our colours. Colour names in the steps refer to the pictures; keep useful contrasts, such as a light belly against a dark body.
