Step by Step Valentine’s Day Balloon Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw Half a Heart
Begin by drawing one curved line like half of a heart. Start at the top and curve it down to a point.
Step 2 – Complete the Heart Shape
Repeat the same curve on the other side to form a full heart. This will be the main body of the balloon.
Step 3 – Add the Tie
At the bottom tip of the heart, draw a small curved knot to show where the balloon is tied.
Step 4 – Refine the Knot
Add two more little curves on each side of the knot so it looks fuller, like a tiny bow.
Step 5 – Draw the String
From the knot, draw a long wavy line downward. This is the balloon string, floating gently in the air.
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face
Finally, give your balloon some personality by drawing two dot eyes and a small smiling mouth. Now you have a happy Valentine’s Day balloon!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What colors should I use for the balloon?
Red, pink, and purple are classic Valentine’s Day colors, but you can use any color you like — even rainbow!
Can I decorate the balloon with patterns?

Is this good for Valentine’s Day cards?
