Written Wish
Write your wish on a small piece of paper and put it in a balloon. Blow up the balloon, rub it on your head to create friction, then stick the rubbed side on a wall. (The static should make it stick.) If it stays on the wall at least three hours, your wish will come true.Write out your wish and put it in a balloon. Set it free to fly away. If it ascends high in the air, your wish may come true; if it catches in something or comes back down, your wish will not come true. A windy day works best.
Write out your wish on a slip of paper and pin or prop the message on a holy or revered statue in a place of worship. Your wish will come true for as long as it stays there.

Write your wish on a narrow strip of paper and wind it around the twig or narrow branch of a tree. (Taping or tying it is taboo.) As long as the paper stays on the branch, there is a chance of the wish being granted.
(Japan)
