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.
