Double wide. **Q: are these something you would hang or can you sit them on a hard surface (and the balloon still "float"?)** A: To answer your question, neither. The "ropes" connecting the basket to the balloon are threads or strings. We used it as a centerpiece by using fishing line to hang it from the ceiling. It is nice enough to find a way to suspend the balloon. Maybe a thin Dannie piece of clothes hanger through the center. Dannie **Q: Anyone know what scale it is?** A: Hello and thank you for your enquiry. The balloon is approximately the size of a tennis ball with a diameter 3 1/4 inches and including the basket it measures 5 inches deep. Hope this information helps. **Q: Can the hot air balloon stand on it's own? Or does it need to be strung up to something? I ask because I want to use it as a table decoration** A: The ballon model does NOT stand on its own. There is a loop/hook on the top of the model where you can use a string to hang it. Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For kids? Really? *by on Reviewed in the United States May 25, 2016* Great novelty if you have a sense of humor. I do. I hung three of these from our living room ceiling - we have a very high ceiling. I found small pirate figures on Amazon, and shaped them to fit in the baskets. I boiled two of the figures to soften them and made them seem like one was clinging to a rope while the other was clambering into the basket as though the basket took off without them. The other figures are watching below with their swords and knives. These guys have become part of the family and my daughter sometimes greets them when she gets up in the morning. The balloons are well made - one dropped from 10 feet, bounced, and no damage. My wife was a bit reluctant to hang these things, but she came around and our guests love them. They create a fun atmosphere that appeals to me. They may be more appropriate in a kid's room, but I never grew up so they are appropriate to me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute but definitely way overpriced and teeny *by on Reviewed in the United States September 30, 2020* I purchased this for my Wizard of Oz themed office and it is definitely a great addition! It’s beautiful and reminds me of the movie. However, it IS small. I had read reviews that it is small but by golly it most definitely is. I don’t think it’s worth $25 but there’s nothing else like it out there so I didn’t return it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful replica! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 30, 2025* Why did you pick this product vs others?:I was looking for a gift to commemorate a recent hot air balloon festival that we attended and this was spot on to one we actually saw. ## Frequently Bought Together - Authentic Models, Floating The Skies Air Balloon, Hanging Home Decor - 5.3 Inch Height, Historic Hot Air Balloon Model for Home Decor, Detailed Vintage Decorations to Hang from Ceiling - Rainbow - VIHOSE Multicolor Hot Air Balloon String Lights 20 LED 10 ft Balloon Hanging Garland Decorations String Banners Battery Operated for Wedding Birthday Room Wall Party Hanging Decor - Zonon 45 Pieces Colorful Hot Air Balloons Cutouts 5 x 7 Inch Hot Air Balloons Accents Paper Cutouts Name Tags Labels Bulletin Board Class Decoration for Teacher Student Back to School Party Supplies --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2960421-authentic-models-floating-the-skies-air-balloon-hanging-home-decor](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2960421-authentic-models-floating-the-skies-air-balloon-hanging-home-decor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
