Hot Air Balloon Plus-Plus instructions

Create a floating Plus-Plus Hot Air Balloon with this free video tutorial and step-by-step build guide.

This 54-block vehicle build shows you how to construct a colorful hot air balloon with a rounded envelope and basket base using Plus-Plus blocks. The video format is ideal for seeing how the curved balloon shape comes together in 3D.

Rated as medium difficulty with an estimated build time of around 9 minutes, this hot air balloon tutorial guides you through the basket first, then the balloon envelope and color band details. Pause and rewind any section to match the on-screen builder.

Watch the tutorial above and prepare the blocks from the breakdown below. Sorting the 54 blocks by color before starting helps you follow the color band sections smoothly as the balloon takes shape.

The completed Plus-Plus Hot Air Balloon is perfect for travel-themed displays, nursery decorations, or as a cheerful build-along project. Take your time with the envelope section for the roundest, most balanced final shape.
