So, here's my finished product.
I love them. I wish I would have made more, but I didn't buy enough glue. Dang.
These were so easy to make, though! I just grabbed a few balloons, some white glue, and some water and went to town.
tips: I'd go with water balloons if you're trying to make these. I used regular sized balloons and they were a little lopsided. I think water balloons would be an easy fix.
Also, let the twine dry for at least two days before popping the balloon inside. If you try before then, you might end up really sad. Mine all collapsed when I tried too early.

These are cute! I remember doing this when I was a kid, except we used string {colored string} and we made Easter eggs. I actually bought one many years later that I saw at a craft fair; I still have it . . . somewhere.
