What You Do:

Cut the poetry lines into strips.
Blow up the balloon and then tape the tied mouth of the balloon to a table.
In a bowl, slowly mix in water with your flour until the substance has the consistency of pea soup. Make sure to get all the lumps out.
Dip the poetry strips into the flour paste, coating both sides.
