Notice in the picture above, when they over inflate.they start getting that weird shape at the mouth.stop just before that.you are aiming for a nice round shaped balloon. When you blow up the balloons, make sure not to over inflate them! You want nice round balloons…not oblong. 66 balloons is a lot to blow up with a hand held pump or your mouth! TIP to Blowing up Balloons I definitely recommend an electric pump to make this job easier and faster. If I didn’t have my kids to help, I would have been hurting. I used a hand held pump which required quite a bit of muscle power.I was tired after 2 balloons 😩 But my kids were helping me with this project and they blew them up the old fashioned way…with their mouths! The great thing about this banner is that it requires air NOT helium, making it very cost effective.įirst, you want to start by pumping up the balloons.

Let me show you how to make one for your next party. It was easy to make and I was very pleased with the end result. I recently made one for a Post Pampering Baby Shower my friend was hosting at her home. Balloon Banners are very popular and a great way to add drama to any party theme. The way we decorate with this festive and colorful decor has evolved as well. Solar balloons are also popular and often used as congratulatory decor for baby showers and birthdays. Balloons are my favorite decor element for a party bash, I’m not a fan of streamers.but when it comes to balloons the more the better!īalloons are typically inflated with gas like helium or air and they come is just about any color you can imagine. Did you know early balloons were made from dried animal bladders, like from a pig? 🤮 I digress.balloons have come a long way since then and are now made from rubber or latex. Whether it be a birthday, anniversary, school function, wedding, or special occasion, balloons are festive and used at all sorts of gatherings. This post is sponsored by Baskin-Robbins.Balloons are the quintessential decor element that must be incorporated into any party theme. Step 5: Tape the balloons to the wall with a tiny loop of artist’s tape - and voilà! Step 4: Repeat Steps 1-3 with the different color balloons until you have about a hundred sprinkles. Step 3: Tape the nubs on the ends of the balloons down with a small piece of Scotch tape. Cut the inflated section off as close to the knot as possible, and repeat until you have six sprinkle-shaped balloons. Step 2: Pump air into the first section until it is about 4” long, then finish it with a knot. Step 1: Knot balloons into six equal sections (each about 1-1/2″ long). Materials Needed: 160Q Latex balloons (in orange, yellow, pink, magenta, green, light green, blue, and white), balloon hand pump, scissors, scotch tape, gaffer’s tape We love photo booths because they’re a simple way to sandwich people together and break the ice at a party.įor this DIY, you’ll only need a few things: these balloons, this pump, and gaffer’s tape or blue tack. Once you have the supplies, the backdrop comes together quickly (in less than an hour!) When the party starts, provide a few props for people to or pose with. Today we teamed up with Baskin-Robbins, who recently launched their new Warm Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich, and decided this would be the perfect opportunity to bring to life our photo booth idea. Awhile back we came up with the fantastic idea of making giant ‘sprinkles’ out of balloons to create an awesome photo booth backdrop.
