Sweet 16th Money Balloon ππΈ
This was made on the hottest day, and to say we ran into a few problems would be an understatement! π
It was actually the first day since starting balloons that I genuinely hated my job! π Between the heat and everything deciding to fall apart, I was ready to give up.
Within half an hour of taking it out of the fridge, even with cold fans blasting on it, the hot glue used to secure the chocolates to the sticks started melting. We had to start from scratch. π
Then the glue holding the money melted too, causing it to fall off... so it was back to square one again!
In an ideal world, the chocolates would have been on sticks, but with the circumstances we had to adapt and make do with another solution.
The positive is that I've now found better ways to safely and securely attach everything for future hot days . Every challenge teaches you something new, and despite all the setbacks, the end result turned out amazing! β¨π
Hot glue definitely chose chaos that day, but we got there in the end! ππ₯π
Here we tell the good, the bad, and the ugly truth about being a balloon artist. Not every design is sweet and easyβsome days definitely give us a headache! π€― But every challenge teaches us something new.
