Things You'll Need:
- several different balloons

- scissors
- helium tank
- weight
- decorative object
-
Step 1
Figure out what the balloons are for; a birthday, graduation, wedding, anniversary or other event. Purchase balloons that coordinate with this event. If it's a wedding choose balloons in the wedding colors. If it's a birthday get balloons in that person's favorite colors as well as some that say "happy birthday" and/or their age.

Step 2
Rent a helium tank. Blow up one balloon at a time with the helium. Cut a piece of ribbon with scissors and tie it to the balloon end. Try to color coordinate the ribbon with the balloon or use balloons and ribbons of opposite colors.
-
Step 3
Continue this with all the balloons. Make sure to do this indoors in a room with low ceilings so they don't float away out of reach. Gather all the balloons in a single bunch. Hold the bunch in one hand. With your other hand adjust the levels of the balloons and create an attractive arrangement that you're happy with. There should be a variety of levels and blending of colors.

Step 4
Cut the ends of the ribbons so they are all equal at the bottom. Tie the ribbons together in a knot. Select a themed decorative object. Tie it to the ribbon knot. If it's lightweight attach a weight to the object and ribbon knot. You want it to stay grounded. That's it! You just made a beautiful balloon bouquet!
