A sustainable alternative to latex water balloons! Help fight balloon pollution by making these reusable water balloons instead! They’ll last for years and best yet, you won’t have to clean up all those little rubber bits from your back yard or park! You’ll receive a downloadable 5-page PDF pattern with detailed instructions - I am always available to help and answer questions as well!

The crochet pattern is written in US terms and will be available by download immediately after purchase from the purchase area in your Etsy account.

The water balloons end up being about 4.5”.
