Balloons are very good at decorating any room for festive events such as weddings. Of course, you can simply inflate the balloons by placing them on the walls. But a much more interesting solution would be to decorate a real bouquet of balloons.
It is necessary
Balloons (12 pieces); rope; hand pump; heart-shaped clamps; cardboard; ruler; stationery knife; scissors; felt-tip pen; pencil
Instructions
Step 1
Make a template from a sheet of thick cardboard by cutting a round hole with a diameter of 250 mm in it. The template is required to ensure that all balls are the same size.
Step 2
Using the hand pump, inflate the balloon until you tie it. Insert the ball into the cutout template. If it does not fit into the cut hole, release some air, if the ball is too small, increase the size of the ball by blowing it.
Step 3
Take the balloon in your hands so that air does not come out of it. Pull back the ponytail and twist it around you. Slip the loop of the heart-shaped retainer over the ponytail. In this case, the loop should be located in the middle of the twisted tail.
Step 4
Pull the front of the ball's tail with your fingers and move the heart towards the tail, pushing it forward as far as possible. The tail should go into the slot of the heart by half a centimeter. Now the ball is tied, and this is done without a knot. In the absence of special clamps, you can tie the ball in the usual way - using a thread. But in this case, you will have to tie homemade rings to the tails of the ball, which can be made from copper wire.
Step 5
In the same way, prepare the 12 balloons needed to make a bouquet. It remains to connect the balls in a certain way.
Step 6
Take a piece of rope two meters long and thread the rope into the loop closest to the ball. Put all the other balls prepared in advance on the rope in sequence. Take both ends of the rope in your hands and tie them in a regular knot. Now tighten the knot, while the balls will be attracted to one another, forming a luxurious rounded bouquet.
Step 7
Experiment with color schemes. Your birthday balloon bouquet doesn't have to be all the same color. If you use balls of several colors, placing them on a rope in a certain sequence, then the bouquet will turn out to be even more gorgeous. It is important not to overdo it here - three colors will be enough.
