DIY INSTRUCTIONS, TIPS & TRICKS
We won't leave you hanging! Make sure you look over our instructions below or watch our how to video on Youtube before you begin to get the best results!
STEP ONE - ORGANIZE
FIRST THING’S FIRST.
START BY ORGANIZING YOUR BALLOONS IN THE LUSHRA PATTERN. MIX YOUR COLORS OR KEEP LIKE COLORS IN SECTIONS FOR A “COLORBLOCKED” LOOK.
STEP TWO - INFLATE
USE YOUR BALLOON INFLATOR TO INFLATE EACH BALLOON, TYING TWO TOGETHER AT A TIME TO MAKE A SET OF TWO. (BABY BALLOONS ARE ADDED ON AFTER- JUST BLOW THEM UP, TIE TOGETHER, AND SET THEM ASIDE FOR NOW!)
STEP THREE - TWIST & GROUP
FOR GROUP 1, (YOUR SMALL BALLOONS) TWIST TWO SETS OF TWO BALLOONS TOGETHER, MAKING A GROUP OF 4. AFTER ALL BALLOONS HAVE BEEN TWISTED INTO SETS OF 4 & 2, YOU ARE READY TO STRING YOUR BALLOONS ON THE FISHING LINE!
STEP FOUR - ASSEMBLE
START BY TYING YOUR FISHING LINE IN A KNOT AROUND YOUR FIRST GROUP OF BALLOONS. YOU SHOULD LEAVE ABOUT AN ARMS LENGTH OF LINE FOR EASY HANGING AT THE END!
WRAP EACH BALLOON GROUPING DOWN THE FISHING LINE, PULL TIGHT. (IF YOU HAVE GLOVES, THIS WILL HELP PROTECT YOUR HANDS.)
TIE A KNOT AT THE END OF YOUR GARLAND TO FINISH IT OFF!
STEP FIVE - HANG & STYLE
USE THE LONG STRINGS ON EITHER END OF YOUR GARLAND TO ATTACH TO COMMAND HOOKS OR TO AN EXISTING STRUCTURE. SHUFFLE YOUR BALLOONS AROUND TO MAKE YOUR PREFERRED SHAPE. APPLY BABY BALLOONS BY ATTACHING SUPPLIED STICKY DASH TO THE BABY, AND THEN PRESSING INTO YOUR GARLAND IN THE DESIRED SPOT. ADD YOUR PERSONAL TOUCHES & THEN GET READY TO PARTY!
DIY FAQ
WHAT DO I NEED TO INFLATE & HANG MY GARLAND?
We recommend an air inflator (trust us, you don't want to blow up 50+ balloons manually) & outdoor lite command hooks for easy hanging!
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE CAN I INFLATE MY BALLOONS?
We recommend inflating a day or two before your event as long as your balloons are stored in a temperature controlled space indoors. We do not recommend loading them into a vehicle or leaving them in your garage overnight. If stored inside, your balloons can last weeks past your event date!
HOW DO I MAKE MY GARLAND "CHUNKY"?
When you lay out your balloons in the Lushra pattern, just keep like colors together! We recommend 1-4 clusters in a row. Repeat colors if necessary! Not all colors come in all sizes- don't worry if it's not perfect! Smaller sections of color will still elevate the look of your garland.
IT'S HOT OUTSIDE- ARE MY BALLOONS GOING TO POP?
While our balloons are all professional quality, the heat can still affect their longevity! On days over 85 degrees, make sure to wait until your last available time to hang your garland if the installation is outside. Darker colors will be more likely to pop quickly. Style as soon as you have them hung as they can stick together and pop more easily once they get hot!
