Friends of mine recently started a family and on my question whether I can make anything for their little one they asked for a balloon wrapper. It takes up minimal space when stowed (aka w/o inflated balloon) and is nice and touchy once you put a lung full of air into it.
Best thing: it uses up all those scraps you still have lying around. In my case this was less than a quarter square meter of cloth in bits and tatters :)

What an absolutely fascinating object
Is this a new thing?
Depends on your definition, for me yes, made it this afternoon so I’d count that as new 😅. But perhaps I don’t get the question…
I have never heard of fabric balloons before. I’m wondering if it’s some sort of new baby fad.
@SpaceNoodle first hit is an 11 year old YouTube video :)
2014 still sounds new to me
Very cool, it’s like a tiny hot air balloon. So does it float with helium?
Hmm, if we’re generous, the volume is around 8l, the cloth weighs 38g, difference in density is 1kg/m3 between air and helium.
1000g\m3*0.008m3 = 8g lift VS 38g mass. This won’t take off but that wasn’t the intention here :)
I used the instructions from here: https://lu-lina.blogspot.com/2014/01/stoffballe-aller-art.html?m=1
