How to Make a Balloon Garland
A balloon garland is the display everyone asks about, and it is far easier than it looks. With a balloon strip, a mix of sizes and half an hour, you can build a professional-looking garland for a wall, backdrop or top table.
Step by step
- Air-fill balloons in a mix of sizes (say 5in, 9in and 12in).
- Push the knot of each balloon through a hole in the balloon decorating strip.
- Work in clusters, alternating sizes and colours, and keep them tight so no strip shows.
- Tuck a few 5in balloons into any gaps to fill it out.
- Hang it with the strip's hooks, then shape it into an organic curve.
Frequently asked questions
How many balloons for a 2 metre garland?
Roughly 60 to 100 depending on your size mix. More small balloons means a fuller, denser look.
Air or helium?
Air. Garlands are built air-filled so they hold their shape and last for days.
