Using balloons is a fun way to decorate your home for the New Year. Whether you're looking to create a dazzling balloon garland for your dining room or you want to create some festive tinsel toppers for your bar seating area, here are a few easy tips to help you get started!
Make A New Year’s Balloon Garland
Whether you're looking for a festive backdrop for your dessert table or a pretty centerpiece for your wedding, making a New Years balloon garland is a great way to add a splash of color and decoration to any space. It's easy to make, affordable, and looks beautiful. However, if you need some help or inspiration, talk to a professional balloon arch artist at any Diddams Party & Toy Store location. They have the supplies and experience you’ll need to bring your vision to life!
There are many different ways to make a balloon garland, including using ribbon, string, and twine. It's also possible to purchase balloon garland kits. These kits are a great way to save money and time, but they do require a little bit of crafty skill.
You can also make a balloon garland by using balloon tape, which is a plastic strip that has holes in it. The holes are big enough to insert medium sized balloons, but small enough to fit the lips of smaller balloons. Then you'll need a low temp glue gun to secure the balloons together. Then you can add a few flowers or other embellishments to create a beautiful balloon garland.
Attach balloons using glue dots
Using glue dots to attach balloons is a fun way to add a bit of flair to any balloon decor piece. You can use balloons of different sizes and colors to create a festive display. For added effect, you can tuck a few faux flowers between the balloons, as long as they aren't thorny of course! You might even want to consider using a helium tank to inflate your decorations. Some balloon decor looks nice without helium, but other pieces really come to life when the balloons are filled with helium. Talk to a balloon artist at Diddams Party & Toy Store if you have any questions about it!
To make the most of your glue dots, try to find the best places to attach your decorations. This is particularly true if you plan to use foil balloons. You can attach the glue dots to walls or doors using balloon decorating strips. If you plan to DIY your balloon decorations, the best way to do this is to purchase a kit from Diddams - be sure to ask our in-store balloon artists for guidance first, as it will make a difference!
Make a confetti-filled disco ball balloon to pop at midnight
Whether you're hosting a big bash or attending a local New Year’s party, consider making a confetti-filled disco ball balloon to pop at midnight! What an idea, right?! The good news is that it's easier than you think. You can find the materials at Diddams Party & Toy Store and you won't have to spend a fortune to make it happen.
Blow up balloons using an electric balloon inflator
Whether you are a newbie or an experienced balloon decorator, electric balloon inflators certainly come in handy! When you are filling balloons, it is a good idea to have a long extension cord on hand. This will help you reach farther and make the whole process easier.
If you are using an electric balloon inflator, you need to make sure you don’t over-inflate the balloons. This is important because if you do, it will make your balloons pop! Also, it’s a good idea to inflate one balloon at a time, because if you are inflating more than two balloons at a time, it can strain your inflator.
