Balloon Decorations on a Budget (Kids Birthday Party)


We can all agree that paying balloon decorations and helium balloons is a little too much for a small party!

Sometimes we just need quick and effective balloon decorations to set the function room up.

  • 11" Latex Balloons (5-7 colours, we use primarily pastel colours here)

  • Fishing Line (Get it from Popular bookstore, Decathlon, Stationary shops)

  • Sewing Needle

  • Clear tape or Double sided tape

  • Mini Paper Honeycomb (Optional)

Instructions:

  • Blow up the balloons to varying sizes (no bigger than size of a basketball)

  • String the fishing line to the sewing needle and secure with a knot.

  • Thread the needle through the balloon nozzle, alternating balloon colors and sizes.

  • Lay the string of balloon on the ground, arrange balloons up down, and out towards you to the desired shape. Secure the balloons to each other by using the tape at the balloons' contact point.

  • You may not get the shape you like at this point, continue to tape them up till you achieve what you what.

  • Fill up empty spaces at the balloon nozzles, between balloons, by taping small balloons or mini paper honeycombs.

It's that simple!

Set it up on the wall with tape, above you cake table.

Linking Balloons

We found this linking balloons are a carnival and thought that is it really useful for quick assembly of balloons! You can find them here.

Blow the balloons up to size, and tie the nozzle to the link at the top of another balloon. Alternate the colours and link ~ 20 balloons together.
