DIY balloon garland: video tutorial

Balloons are a bright, colorful and at the same time simple decoration of the holiday. Balloons can be used to decorate both children’s and adult parties, from birthday to wedding.

Garland caterpillar

The hardest part to make this garland is the number of balloons inflated. Stock up on a dedicated inflation pump or helpers. In order for the garland to have an effect on the holiday, you need to inflate at least 200 balloons.

The balls are tied tightly onto one long thread or line one after the other. You need to try to tie them as close to each other as possible. Stretch the resulting garland throughout the room intended for the celebration: along the walls, furniture, door frames, windows. If the holiday is held outdoors, you can stretch the garland between the trees to decorate the gazebo with it. The more varied the balls are in shape and color in the garland, the more interesting it will look. To turn the garland into a caterpillar, you need to draw eyes and a mouth with a felt-tip pen on one of the outer balls, and glue paper horns. The garland caterpillar is universal. It will decorate holidays of different themes.

Fruit and vegetable garland

To draw up such a garland, you need to stock up on balls of different shapes and colors, as well as colored paper in green shades. First, you need to prepare the leaves for future “fruits” and “vegetables”.

If there are children among the manufacturers of the garland, instruct them to cut the leaves. Children will enjoy this activity, because the leaves can be of such a shape, which only fantasy tells

To make leaves, a sheet of colored paper is folded along the center. From the fold, as from the axis of symmetry, leaves of any shape are cut out. Finished leaves should be pierced at the edge with a needle, thread or fishing line through the hole and tied to the balls. Fabulous fruits and vegetables are ready! It remains to tie them on a long thread, leaving a distance of 20-30 cm between them. If you tie the balls tightly to the thread, then the “fruits” and “vegetables” will be difficult to see. It will seem that ordinary balls are tied to the thread.

If there are small round balls available, then you can tie them in bunches and get “grapes” or “raspberries”. Thin long yellow balls will make delicious bunches of bananas

The garland is suitable for decorating a children’s birthday.

Flower garland

It is better to take round and small balls for making garlands – no more than 15 cm in diameter.

Several balls, 5–7 pieces, tie in one bundle to get a shape that looks like a flower. In the same way, make several more of the same flowers. The garland is assembled from flowers from balloons strung like beads on a long thread or fishing line. The garland can be stretched along the wall of the hall, as well as hung vertically.

In a garland, both monochromatic and multi-colored flowers look interesting

Herringbone garland

To make a Christmas tree from balloons, you will need a golden star-shaped balloon and sets of five green balloons of various sizes: five large balloons – 25–30 cm in diameter, five smaller balloons – 20–25 cm in diameter, and so on in descending order. The top of the Christmas tree will be made from the smallest balls with a diameter of 5–7 cm.

Balls in each set must be the same shade

Tie each five balls of the same diameter together so that a flat flower is obtained. In the center of the flower obtained from the largest balls, tie a long line. Holding the fishing line vertically by the free end, string the previously made flowers from balls onto it, starting with the largest flower in diameter and ending with the smallest one. Attach the upper end of the line securely to the last upper flower. Cut off excess fishing line. Decorate the top of the tree – tie the ball in the form of a star.

The garland can be used to decorate the house for New Year and Christmas.

Garland-heart

In order to make a garland, you will need at least 3 m of flexible wire with a diameter of 0,5 cm and about 100 small balls. The color of the balls can be any, depending on the taste of the master. Bend the wire into a ring and secure the ends with tape. Bend a heart-shaped shape out of the resulting ring, so that the junction of the ends of the wire is on the side. Carefully separate the ends in order to be able to string the balls onto the resulting frame-heart.

Tie the balls in fours in the form of flowers. String the resulting flowers tightly onto the frame so that no wire is visible between the flowers. Secure the ends of the wire with tape and mask the attachment point under the balls. To hang the garland, you should tie a fishing line to it at the top on both sides.

It is recommended to use balls of the same or two different colors, for example red and white. The use of three or more tones will make the garland colorful and distract attention from the composition itself.

The composition will gently decorate a wedding or any other holiday of two hearts in love.
