Attach Filters to Balloon
Inflate red balloon until round. Look in a mirror to judge size of the 'cherry' in proportion to the headband and your head. Create a ring of double sided tape around balloon tie (Image 1). Press the point of each coffee filter firmly into tape (Image 2) until each section of exposed tape is covered (Image 3).
