First, it will be important to saythat all of them are based on an original balloon design created in far 1998 by Yuri Shumakov, oneof Oriland creators. The very first Oriland Hot Air Balloon was displayed at the same year of 1998on Oriland creators exhibition Miracles from Paper, flying over Oriville Castle of the very firstOriland Kingdom. Also this balloon made its appearance in first virtual Oriland galleries on theInternet, including the award-winning site Travel to Oriland (1999) where an image of this origamiballoon was flying across the screen, surprising all the visitors with miracles of Internet technologyof that time as well as miracles of origami!Origami Balloons IntroTheshapesofballoonenvelopesrenderedintheseorigami designs can be divided on the traditional "invertedteardrop"shape(fromtheelongateconicaltotubbyconical versions) and the round shape.Elongate Conical Shape(16-section Hot Air Balloon)Tubby Conical Shape(21-section Hot Air Balloon)Round Shape (24-sectionMontgolfier Balloon)All the origami balloon designs in thisbookhaveasimilarstructure:eachconsistsofaBalloonEnvelopeandaBasket. The bottom part of the envelopeis referred to as the skirt. The balloonenvelope has a Top Lock and a BottomLockattheEnvel opeSki rt.Thecomponents of balloons are folded andconnected together without any glue, justusing paper locks.There are two types of baskets presentedwiththeseorigamiballoons-SquareBasket, used for all the Hot Air Balloonversions and Round Basket, used for allthe Montgolfier Balloons.The balloon envelopes presented in thisbook can be grouped by shapes, typesof locks, quantity of pieces of paper andquantity of sections.Shapes of Balloon EnvelopesTop LockBasketEnvelope Skirt(Bottom Lock)Balloon EnvelopeSquare Basket Round BasketBalloon BasketsOrigami Balloon StructureBalloon Envelopes www.oriland.comOriland Balloon Ride - page7Outside Top LockInside Top LockSkirt Lock(Bottom Lock)There are different types of locks used in the presented designs of balloon envelopes, but theycanbedi vi dedontwomai ngroups:TopLocksandSki rtLock(BottomLock).TheBottomLockalsocalledhereSkirtLockisuni versal f oral l t heballoons presented in thisbook.

This is a rather robustlockthatiscompletelyhiddenonthefinisheddesignandprovidesasmallaperture and an appealing visual patternofballoonsectionsonthetop.Itsadvisable to take strong paper becausethis inside top lock adds an extra stressto the upper edge of paper used for theballoonenvelope;incaseofweakordried-up paper the edge may tear a bitduring the locking. You may reinforce theedge of paper as advised in a practicaltip given in the afore-mentioned article.Top and Bottom Locks of Balloon Envelopes www.oriland.comOriland Balloon Ride - page8Skirt-likeInside Top LockThis type of the Inside Top Lockis based on the same principleas the Skirt Lock (Bottom Lock).ItisusedfortheMontgolfierballoondesignsandshowningreatdetai l i nthearti cl eMontgolfier Balloon (8-ModuleEnvelope). To the moment whenyou learned various designs fromthis book, it will be no problemto comprehend this lock, but thefact that the lock is on the insideof the balloon adds complexity.ThisSkirt-likeInside TopLockcan be used for designs of HotAirBalloonspresentedinthisbook also, but be aware that theless sections in the balloon themorecompl exthel ocki ngprocess will be. Although we dontshow this specific type of Skirt-like Inside Top Lock for Hot AirBalloons in the book, you maytry if you want, but its advisablethat you master the MontgolfierBalloon first. Skirt-like Inside Top Lockon 24-section Montgolfier Balloon(8-module Envelope)Skirt-like Inside Top Lockon 15-section Hot Air BalloonConsidering the quantity of pieces of paper used, there are twomain types of balloon envelopes - multi-piece and one-piece. Wellshow the examples here grouping them in connection with thequantity of sections of balloon envelopes.The Montgolfier Balloon designs with the multi-piece envelope inthis book, no matter how many modules in them, have the fixedquantity of sections 24 to maintain its round shape. There is aversion with 8-module envelope, where each module folded froma rectangle, 1:2 in proportion. And the other Montgolfier Balloonversion with the multi-piece envelope presented in the book has4 modules, each module folded from a square.The designs of Hot Air Balloon with the multi-piece balloon envelopepresented in the book have another story. These can be foldedfrom several balloon modules with the different number of sections.The quantity of balloon modules (each folded from a rectangle,1:2 in proportion) may vary from 5 to 8 to receive a desired balloonshape from an elegant 15-section balloon to a tubby 24-sectionballoon. The balloon modules may overlap by 1 or 2 sections. Inthe book, the balloon assembly is shown on an example of an 18-section balloon, folded from 6 balloon modules that overlap by 1section, but you can extrapolate the principle on any variationpresented here. Despite types of top locks - outside or inside,designs of Hot Air Balloons are using practically the same balloonmodule with just some minor difference in the final folding steps,sothefollowingvariationsapplytobothtypesofdesigns.24-section Montgolfier Balloon(4-module Envelope)Multi-Piece Balloon EnvelopesMulti-Piece and One-Piece Balloon Envelopes www.oriland.comOriland Balloon Ride - page9Overlap by 2 sections15-section 5-piece Balloon Envelope(5 modules (1:2), 1-section overlap)16-section 8-piece Balloon Envelope(8 modules (1:2), 2-section overlap)15-section Hot Air Balloon(Inside Top Lock)16-section Hot Air Balloon(Inside Top Lock)Overlap by 1 sectionThe 15-section balloon is having the slim and elegantclassic shape. It works well for all types of the top lock outside top lock and inside top lock.To incorporate more colours you may overlap modules by 2 sections. For instance, using8 modules will result in the 16-section balloon envelope. Although it works well for bothtypes of the top lock, its better to use with the inside top lock. www.oriland.comOriland Balloon Ride - page10++LETTER or A416-section 4-piece Balloon Envelope(4 modules (1:21sec), 1-section overlap)16-section Hot Air Balloon(Inside Top Lock)Overlap by 1 sectionOverlap by 1 sectionLETTER20-section 4-piece Balloon Envelope(4 modules (1:22sec), 1-section overlap)20-section Hot Air Balloon(Inside Top Lock)When you need a balloon envelope made of 4 modules, you may use for them rectangles thathave1extrasection,whichwillbeusedforoverlapping.Soyoullneed4rectangles,5:8inproportion each. For instance, you may efficiently use any standard format of paper, Letter or A4,to yield a rectangle 5:8, as shown.To do that, first, mark a maximum rectangle 1:2 on Letter or A4 and fold it in 4 equal verticalsections.Afterthat,projectoneextrasectionandthencuttheresultedrectangle.This variation works well for alltypes of the top lock outsidetoplockandinsidetoplock.Also for a 4-module balloon envelope, you may use for each module a rectangle that has 2 extrasections, one of which will be used for overlapping. It will result in a 20-section balloon. Youll need4 rectangles, 6:8 in proportion each. For instance, you may efficiently use a standard paper ofLetter format to yield a rectangle 6:8, as shown. To do that, first, mark a maximum rectangle 1:2on Letter and fold it in 4 equal vertical sections. After that, project two extra sections and then cutthe resulted rectangle. This variation works well for both types of the top lock outside and inside.1 extra section2 extra sections www.oriland.comOriland Balloon Ride - page11Overlap by 1 sectionOverlap by 1 section18-section 6-piece Balloon Envelope(6 modules (1:2), 1-section overlap)18-section Hot Air Balloon(Inside Top Lock)21-section 7-piece Balloon Envelope(7 modules (1:2), 1-section overlap)21-section Hot Air Balloon(Inside Top Lock)In the both articles - Hot Air Balloon (Outside Top Lock) and Hot Air Balloon (Inside Top Lock)- the balloon assembly is shown on an example of an 18-section balloon, folded from 6 balloonmodules that overlap by 1 section. This is a very good balanced shape for the balloon, not slimalready, but not tubby yet.Of course, you may incorporate more modules to get a tubby shape of the balloon. For instance,the 21-section balloon is looking quite cute. It works well for all types of the top lock, but its betterto use with the inside top lock, as the top aperture will remain small with this type of the top lock. www.oriland.comOriland Balloon Ride - page12Overlap by 1 sectionOverlap by 2 sections21-section 3-piece Balloon Envelope(3 modules (1:1), 1-section overlap)21-section Hot Air Balloon(Inside Top Lock)24-section 4-piece Balloon Envelope(4 modules (1:1), 2-section overlap)24-section HotAir Balloon(Inside TopLock)You may receive a cute tubby balloon with 21 sections,if using 3 squares for balloon modules that overlapby 1 section.

The balloon module for this balloon withthe inside top lock folds practically the same as forthe outside top lock version, but with a few extrafolds.The quantity of balloon modules may vary from 5 to8 to receive a desired balloon shape from an elegant15-section balloon to a tubby 24-section balloon.The balloon modules may overlap by 1 or 2 sections.We will show here the 18-section balloon, as pictured,folded from 6 balloon modules that overlap by onesection.Suggested paper: regular origami paper, colourcopy paper. Also you may experiment with any paperthat is sturdy, thin, with fine finish. You even can usecraftpaperorthickerartpaperforalargescalemodel.Suggested sizes: In case of origami paper, use a 10-inch (25 cm) size to get the rectangles 10x 5 inches (25 x 12.5 cm) in size; respectively use a 3 3/4 -inch (9.4 cm) square for a basket. Inthis case the finished model will be about 7 1/2 inches (18.5 cm) high.To hang such origami Hot Air Balloon you willneed a piece of line and a little rectangular pieceof paper about 1:2 or 1:3 in proportion, which inlength is a bit less than the balloon diameter. www.oriland.comOriland Balloon Ride - page72Hot Air Balloon (Inside Top Lock) 1998 Yuri and Katrin Shumakov - page 2Balloon Module (from 1:2 rectangle)Balloon ModulesBasketIf using two-color paper, begin with colored side up in portrait position.Follow steps 1 to 23 of the Balloon Module diagrams shown in the article Hot AirBalloon(OutsideTopLock),articlepages2to4(bookpages15to17).This should be the result.

The lock will be inside,so the horizontal section with the sticky tape will be hiddenandnotseenontheoutersideoftheresultedballoon.26272928 www.oriland.comOriland Balloon Ride - page74Hot Air Balloon (Inside Top Lock) 1998 Yuri and Katrin Shumakov - page 4We will show the assembly of the 18-section balloon, as pictured, folded from 6 balloon modulesthat overlap by 1 section. For this particular balloon we used regular colour copy paper - therectangles 11 x 5.5 inches (28 x 14 cm) in size for balloon modules.Assembly of 18-section Balloon Envelope,Inside Top Lock (from 6 Balloon Modules)The assembly of the balloon with the inside top lock starts from locking the balloons top. The toplock will remain inside, so there will be no access to it once the balloon is ready. Hence its imperativethatyoudotheinsidetoplockoftheballooncorrectlyfollowingtheinstructionsdiligently.And after that the balloon will be locked at the bottom, using the same method as it was shownfor the bottom lock of the balloon with the outside top lock in the article Hot Air Balloon (OutsideTop Lock), article pages 11 to 21 (book pages 24 to 34).The colours scheme used is a classic rainbow. 6 spectral colourswork great for this design, namely: red, orange, yellow, green, blue,andviolet.Soyouwillneedoneballoonmodulepercolour.Its also possible to use just 2 complementary colours like red andgreen, blue and orange, yellow and violet. In this case your willneed 3 balloon modules of each colour.So prepare the balloon modules and diligentlyfollow the assembly instructions that shown nextin a great detail with step-by-step photo-diagramsand written comments.You will need 6 paper clips (one per module) inthe process to temporarily keep the overlappingsections aligned before they are locked at thebottom of the balloon. www.oriland.comOriland Balloon Ride - page75Hot Air Balloon (Inside Top Lock) 1998 Yuri and Katrin Shumakov - page 5Getreadyalltheballoonmodulesinanappropriate order.
