Balloons are always a holiday, and decorating with a garland of balloons will add a festive mood!
So that it wouldn’t be boring at home, Nadya and I decided to decorate the apartment balloons. It turned out like this.
We took five-inch latex balloons different colors. They are inexpensive, a pack of 100 pieces cost 66 rubles. You can take different colors, you can make a one-color garland.
It's better to inflate them first. Inflate a lot at once. So as not to be distracted later.
Then knit in pairs. There is no need to use threads, just tie them by the tails.
Stretch the line between two stationary objects. Regular fishing line. Try to make sure that there is at least a meter of free fishing line left on each side of the finished garland.
Take two pairs of balls and place them on the fishing line.
Twist the balls around the fishing line. Be careful not to tear the line or cut the balls.
The result should be something like this “daisy”.
Well, tie the two ligaments again. And again. Gradually the garland will begin to lengthen.
Tie the finished garland wherever you want. It took us 132 balls to make a three-meter garland.
Garlands can be of various lengths, shapes and volumes. It all depends on the skill and ideas of the author. It is worth noting that experience is very important in this matter. Therefore, at first it is best to make a modest garland of short length from balls of two colors. Having studied the principle of operation, you can safely take on more interesting and multi-colored garlands.
To model a 4 m long garland of two colors, you need to stock up on the following items:
Advice. It is better to buy quality balls. You shouldn't skimp on this item. The durability of the structure depends on the quality of the ball. It will be a pity for wasted effort and time if the balloons begin to burst ahead of time.
Step-by-step instructions for making a garland will consist of the following steps:
The garland is ready. All that remains is to secure the ends of the rope in in the right places. The lifespan of such a garland is approximately 2 weeks indoors and 2-3 days outdoors.
When choosing a pattern and colors for a balloon garland, the specifics of the event are taken into account. In addition, the master must remember important points when decorating the interior balloons, namely:
Balloons symbolize spontaneity, lightness and solemnity at the same time. An ambiguous element in the design of the garland will look appropriate both at an official event and at children's party. The secret to the success of a balloon garland is the appropriate combination of colors and size of the decoration.
I really like her! I can’t stop looking at the accounts of decorators all over the world for hours, who have examples of decorating a holiday with such lush garlands!
I don't know what to call it more correctly. If anyone knows the exact name, write in the comments. For myself, I call this work “garland-stream”. Something like a bright stream of happiness descending from a mountain)).
For example, I collected pictures from the Internet, since our decorators’ portfolios still contain very few finished works. Not because they can’t... They can do everything! It’s just that our customers don’t know yet that garlands can be not only perfect “on a ruler”, but also so fancy!
A stream garland is a bright object for creating a holiday in a room of any size. It combines multi-colored small and large balls, paper decorative elements and artificial flowers. Beautiful!
Yes, everything is there, you just need to find it and buy it.
Balls with and without patterns, matte and shiny, large and small. Inflate a lot of them in advance, tie them into bunches of several pieces (or glue 3-5 pieces together using rubber glue or a glue gun). Then it is much easier to assemble the entire structure from these blanks.
Honeycomb balls. They are sold folded in holiday supply stores. There are many colors and sizes, the workpiece turns into a ball in a second.
Accordion balls. There are also ready-made ones. I really love these balls for their richness of colors. Light and shadow in them alternate bizarrely, and among ordinary balls they stand out very brightly.
Stars. There is no need to weave a lot of stars into the garland. Let there be a few spiky accents in our bubble stream.
Tassels. Simple and amazing elements of paper decor that will easily hide any imperfections in the garland.
Artificial flowers. You can also weave buds, but more often the garland is decorated with long vines with small green leaves. Beautiful and romantic!
Hooks for fastening, mesh, thick cord, tape, paper clips. After watching the video you will understand more clearly how to use all this. If you don't have experience using glue, don't risk it! balloons can burst at the most inopportune moment. For beginners, it’s better to just tie the balls into bundles.
What elements you will use to assemble your garland is your personal decision! Possible from just balls different sizes, transparent or shiny, with polka dots or stripes! You can add paper balls, as they look completely different - a different structure, a play of light and shadow, a special charm. Somewhere I saw a charming garland with large paper stars. And how cool the stream with bright tassels looks! Artificial vines woven into the garland add romance.
It is also important what techniques the decorator uses. For example, he can assemble a garland on one central cord. This is beautiful, but you need to carefully fill all the voids with artificial flowers so that the fishing line or cord is not visible.
If the decorator knows how to masterfully use a low-temperature glue gun, the result will be even more impressive: small balls stick to large ones, and our garland begins to really bubble! This technique allows you to create a more magnificent decoration.
But that's not all! If, before starting work, you make a frame from a flexible mesh, to which all other elements will then be attached, the “stream” will turn out simply magnificent!
I found a video that shows the entire process of making such a garland. Even for those who do not know English, everything is extremely clear! There are no revelations here for decorators, but among visitors to the website Again Holiday there are many enthusiasts who create a holiday with their own hands.

Such a garland is used to decorate nondescript columns, hide unwanted objects in the room, etc.
