How to Make a Fancy Balloon Arch

In the present day, we’re going to show you how one can make a elaborate balloon arch. It’s simpler than it appears to be like and it packs loads of visible wow issue!

I’m positively going to do that subsequent time I host a child bathe, and the colours we used on this publish could be excellent for a Valentine’s Day or New Yr’s Eve get together.

I like that you may swap out the colours and do that for almost any event.

Right here’s what you will have to make your individual balloon arch:

Provides:
–electrical balloon pump
–balloon adorning strip
–mini balloons (I used 30)
–numerous pink balloons (40-45 common dimension)
–glue dots or tape
–balloon ribbon
–greenery (elective)

First, use your electrical balloon pump to explode your balloons and tie the underside closed.

If you wish to blow up all of your balloons without delay earlier than attaching them, put them into massive rubbish luggage as you blow them up so that they don’t float away.

Or, you’ll be able to blow them up in a room with a low ceiling so you’ll be able to attain up and seize them as you want one.

Subsequent, slip the knot of a regular-sized balloon by means of one of many holes within the adorning strip. Skip a couple of holes and place one other balloon into the strip going through the other way.

Maintain alternating balloon colours and sides till you might have a balloon strip so long as you need your arch to be.

You’ll be able to add a couple of extra balloons into a few of the holes you skipped if it appears to be like too skimpy, however be certain that to depart some room so as to add the small balloons in later.

Right here’s a video tutorial to indicate you the way we made our fancy balloon arch!

Upon getting your major balloons connected, minimize the balloon adorning strip simply previous the place the balloons finish on both aspect. Then, tie a bit of balloon ribbon or twine onto every finish.

Tie these strings onto the piece of furnishings you need the arch to go over (or have the strings go to the ground and use balloon weights on the backside of every).

Use your glue dots to stay the mini balloons into the gaps and crevices till you might have an arch that’s fully stuffed in.

We additionally made a elaborate scalloped border for our desk out of folded sheets of tissue paper and fringed every layer with scissors to offer it extra texture. So cute and simple to whip up!

If you wish to add slightly greenery to your arch, you’ll be able to both stick the sprigs into dense areas of the arch, or tape the stems in a hidden spot.

There you might have it! An additional particular get together desk thought to your subsequent fancy event. These look so cute over a buffet or console desk stocked with treats and champagne.

Talking of events, we love to make use of trays like this and fairly cake stands for desk decorations.
