Tips for the Keychain Balloon
At keychain scale, keep the balloon small and firm: a striped sphere cinched at the base, with a tiny basket hanging from four short chains. The bear peeks over the basket edge. Sew all connection points firmly, since keychains get handled daily. Bright balloon stripes in rainbow order make the design instantly recognizable.
