Begin by tieing the end of string to the bottom of the balloon, and then begin wrapping the string all around the balloon.

Fourth Step

After completing wrapping the string to your desire, let the string dry overnight.

Fifth Step

Once dry, using a pin pop the balloon, the fabric should be still in the shape it was on the balloon before popping it.
