<strong>Balloons</strong> are an ideal choice when it comes to decorating – they are cheap, colourful and easy to use.<br />
They can really brighten up a space and create a party atmosphere. There are so many different<br />
ways that you can make decorations <strong>with</strong> balloons to add impact to your décor, so why not be a<br />
little adventurous and try something new!<br />
Most people just hang up a few balloons, but this has been done a million times! Why not do<br />
something different <strong>with</strong> your balloon décor that your guests have never seen before? If you are<br />
looking for some creative ideas for decorating <strong>with</strong> balloons, here is a little bit of inspiration.<br />
Make Your Own Photo Chandelier<br />
Why not use balloons to create your own beautiful chandelier and showcase beautiful photos? For<br />
this idea you will need a lot of balloons, a helium tank and curling ribbon. Print off a collection of<br />
photos that you want to show off during the event. At a birthday party they could be portraits of the<br />
special person at different stages of their life, or at a wedding they could be pictures of the happy<br />
couple. Glue the photos onto card stock and punch a hole in the top, tying the curling ribbon<br />
through them.<br />
Next, fill up the balloons <strong>with</strong> helium and tie the photos to the balloons <strong>with</strong> the other end of the<br />
ribbon. You can then create the chandelier in any size you like by using double sided tape to stick the<br />
balloon to the ceiling.<br />
Glowing LED <strong>Balloons</strong><br />
It is possible to get balloons and balloon ribbon that<br />
have been enhanced <strong>with</strong> LED lights. The balloons<br />
contain a unique LED light unit inside creating a<br />
fantastic glow effect. Simply pull the tab to activate the<br />
light, and inflate the balloon as normal.<br />
There are many creative ways that you can use these<br />
glowing LED balloons and ribbon to create a unique<br />
decoration – perhaps by suspending them from the<br />
ceiling or using them <strong>with</strong>in a balloon arch or wreath.<br />
You could even use these glowing balloons to<br />
illuminate your ice sculptures,
accentuate floral arrangements or light up your porch railings. Try using different colours of LED<br />
lights and balloons, so that you can create different effects.<br />
Glitter Dipped <strong>Balloons</strong><br />
Are you looking to jazz up your balloons and make them even more glamorous and eye catching? All<br />
you will need is some balloons, some glitter or confetti, a paint brush and some decoupage glue.<br />
Start by inflating the balloons and painting on the decoupage glue on the bottom. You will need a<br />
thin yet even layer. You also need to decide whether you want to coat the entire balloons or just a<br />
section of it.<br />
Once the glue is spread onto the balloon, you can dip it into the glitter or sprinkle it on. Shake the<br />
balloon so that the excess glitter falls off; then let the glue dry. If you want, you can add another<br />
layer of decoupage glue over the glitter or confetti to make sure that it all stays on. Then just paint<br />
the glue on over the top of the glitter and it will dry clear.<br />
Splatter Paint <strong>Balloons</strong><br />
Another fun way of decorating your party balloons<br />
is to give them the Jackson Pollock treatment <strong>with</strong><br />
splatter painting. You can use balloons and paint<br />
of any colour, giving you a lot of creative and fun<br />
options for beautiful decorations!<br />
The first step is to set up a tarp or a protective<br />
surface, as this project will get very messy. Then,<br />
thin out the paint <strong>with</strong> a 3-1 water ratio, so that it<br />
will splatter more easily. Dip the paintbrush in the<br />
watered-down paint, hold onto the balloon and<br />
flick the brush to splatter the paint across the<br />
surface. When you are happy <strong>with</strong> the splatters,<br />
hang the balloons up by the knot so that they can<br />
dry. This technique will work <strong>with</strong> helium balloons<br />
or ones that are just filled <strong>with</strong> air.
These are just a few unique ideas that you can try when you are decorating for your next party <strong>with</strong><br />
balloons – one of the easiest and most popular options for party decorating. They are cheap,<br />
versatile and you can do so many great things <strong>with</strong> them, so get a pack of balloons and see how your<br />
imagination can transform them. <strong>Balloons</strong> Galore has a wide range of <strong>Balloons</strong> available in many<br />
