Aren't these balloons just the coolest things!? All you have to do to make them is:
- blow up some extra-large balloons in colors to match your event theme (no helium needed, just regular air)
- wrap tulle around each balloon and tie with ribbon
- glue pretty flowers onto the base of each balloon
- add more ribbon to the base of each balloon
- now here is the crazy part ... string a piece of clear string (such as fishing line) through the top part of the tulle on the balloon
- hang from the ceiling from the clear string
- these balloons get rather heavy when adding the tulle, flowers and ribbon - so it works best to hang from the ceiling so they do not fall to the floor
DIY baby shower Balloon Arch - Instructions On How To Make A Balloon Arch For A Party

Girl Baby Shower Balloon Arch garland are the latest trend and they are absolutely beautiful!
For just a few dollars, you can create a stunning balloon garland masterpiece for the baby shower.
The cool thing is - you don't need helium for this project. Just use an air pump to quickly inflate the balloons.
Get balloons in all sizes from small to large - adding flowers and greenery also gives it a festive and elegant look.
In the above example, they used chicken wire and fishing line, to create the balloon garland look - but there is another method that you can use that's a bit easier.
You will have a much easier time at this if you have a mini air pump - We didn't have an air pump, which would have saved a ton of time. It took us about an hour to blow all of the balloons up and it was exhausting!
We bought a balloon arch kit for my granddaughter's 1st birthday party - and I found it so easy to use. You can make beautiful baby shower balloon sculptures.
It comes with balloons in different sizes which gives it depth and makes it look like a professional assembled it.
The finished product was pretty impressive. I'll admit, I was skeptical when I bought it, thinking there was no way I could make the balloons look like the picture - but it turned out beautiful!
Of course I didn't get any pictures of the finished product and I am so sad about it.
But I do have an extra kit - so I'll make another one for the next party we have and be sure to capture it and share it with you!
