Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- several different balloons
- ribbons
- scissors
- helium tank
- weight
- decorative object
Step1
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.
Step2
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.
Step3
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.
Step4
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!
