SAVE THIS if you dread making balloon garlands because they hurt your fingers and take WAY too much time. 🎈
TIP 1
Stop tying every balloon individually.
Tie 2 balloons together instead.
Faster + way easier on your fingers.
TIP 2
DITCH the balloon arch tape.
Use 260 balloons instead!
Tie your 260 balloons together…
Attach them to your first balloon cluster…
Then wrap them around each new cluster in a figure 8.
One or two 260 balloons can hold several clusters!
TIP 3
Want that full, fluffy look?
Use large rubber bands to add smaller balloon clusters.
Loop the rubber band around a balloon already in your garland.
So easy. 🙌
TIP 4
260 balloons are perfect for attaching extras too!
Mylar balloons
Specialty balloons
Decorative pieces
Tie them in and loop them right onto your garland.
BONUS TIP ✨
Glue dots are perfect for lightweight decorations!
We used them to add these adorable pom-poms.
And once you know these basics…
You can start getting REALLY creative. 🍩🎉
Confetti balloons
Donut balloons
Paper garlands
Pom-poms
Specialty balloons
…all in one garland!
