Balloons are loved by adults and children, because these products invariably remind of the holiday. That is why they are so often used when decorating a room for a wedding or birthday. To create a festive atmosphere in the house, you don't have to invite a specialist, because you can easily create a colorful decoration with balloons yourself.
Balloons come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. It is thanks to this parameter that they are so popular, unusually different compositions can be made of them. There are three main sizes of balloons that are used for composition: large - 30 cm in diameter, medium - 22.5 cm, small - 12.5 cm. If you use air products of different sizes, you can easily create a large number of all kinds of shapes.
The composition of the balls is selected depending on the type of holiday. So, for example, for your child's birthday, you can create a composition in the form of a large flower or several multi-colored flowers; for young children, they often make compositions in the form of figures of their favorite cartoon characters. If this is Valentine's Day, then it would be logical to create a composition of balloons in the shape of a heart.
In order to start decorating the room and create compositions, you need to prepare all the necessary tools and materials. You will need a small pump, paper ribbons of different colors, widths and lengths, special balls, the color of which you determine depending on the festive theme and future composition. All this can be found in specialized stores selling all kinds of souvenirs, holiday bouquets, etc.
It is worth noting that ordinary balls, which are sold on almost every corner, are not suitable for modeling. It is better to give preference to balls made of a denser and more elastic material.
You may not be able to create a complex composition or shape the first time, so it's best to practice creating simple variations first. Floral arrangements are the most common and easiest option, so start here. Flowers from balloons can be attached as separate figures, assembled into a single composition, dynamically distributed in all corners of the room, attached to doors, wardrobe, etc. To create one such flower, you will need 4 balls 9 "in diameter and one ball 5" in diameter.
The products are inflated using a pump, then a knot is tied on each. Make sure the large balls are the same size. Further, large balls are connected in pairs with each other, they will serve as petals. Place two pairs of balls on top of each other and twist their tails together. Thus, you should have a base for the future flower of four petals. You just have to tie a small ball as a core to the center of this figure and decorate the composition with multi-colored paper ribbons.
Special balls for compositions are never tied with a thread, but simply tied in a regular knot.
Garland is another common type of balloon arrangement. To create 1 meter of such a garland, you will need 16 large balls. First of all, you need to make a "four" of balls, as when creating petals for a flower. However, they do not need to be fastened to each other, but tied with their ends to a ribbon or fishing line, thereby connecting them. Attach one large ball at the end and beginning of the garland.
To create a two-color garland, you should think in advance about the location of balls of different colors. A striped garland will turn out if you tie four balls of different colors in the same order, a “twisted” garland will turn out if you use only balls of two colors in “fours”. You can also decorate the ends of such a composition with multi-colored paper ribbons, tying them in bows.
To create a heart-shaped balloon arrangement, you will need aluminum wire, 5-inch balls, fishing line, tape, and a pump. Make a frame for the composition in the shape of a large heart out of wire, fasten the junction of the material with tape. The balloons must first be inflated using a pump. Just like when creating a garland and a flower, you need to make "fours" from the balls. If the wire was taken with a length of 3 meters, then for the finished heart you will need at least 40 such "fours".
Then it remains only to string the finished "fours" onto the frame using fishing line. In this case, the balls should be lightly pressed against each other. The finished heart can be decorated with paper ribbons, bows, sparkles, etc.
