Ingredients

  • Balloons
  • Fishing Line
  • Large Blunt Needle
  • Balloon Pump

Instructions

  • 1. Blow up the balloons in different sizes.
  • 2. Measure out your fishing line. You are going to want to double what you think you need. Remember that excess can be cut off in the end. 
  • 3. Thread your needle and tie a quick knot to secure your line onto the needle. 
  • 4. For the first balloon, press the needle through the end piece of the balloon, see the photo above as reference. Tie the end of your fishing line onto the balloon to stop the balloon from falling off. 
  • 5. Thread the rest of your balloons. 
  • 6. Push each of the balloons to the end of the fishing line, keeping them all pressed tightly together. 
  • 7. When you reach the end, tie off and hang with command strips!  

Notes

  • Space out the colors. At first, I didn’t pay close attention to the colors I was selecting to add to the garland. There were a lot of color clumps. I suggest alternating between colors and moving things around as needed to give an even look. 
  • Ask someone to help you. Half way through blowing up and tying the balloons I finally enlisted the help of my husband. Things went WAY quicker. I wish I would have asked him to help from the start. 
  • We used command strips to secure the arch to the wall. I also used a little extra fishing line to create loops to make hanging a tiny bit easier.
