The balloon arch is a wonderful decoration for any occasion. But before you start doing it, you need to learn some rules and features of working with balls. The balloons are filled with helium or air. And in order for you to decide what type you want, you need to give yourself answers to some questions.
It is necessary
balls, fishing line, helium cylinder or hand pump
Instructions
Step 1
Answer yourself for what period of time do you expect to put on the decoration? Where do you want to place the arch: outdoors or indoors? How many people will build this arch? How much money do you want to spend on it, as well as time?
Step 2
"String of pearls" - an arch made of balloons filled with helium, is the simplest solution and takes little time. You will not need a structure that attaches as the balls are in a floating state. They are simply attached to the line. A similar design is suitable for those arches that are made from segments of 5-6 balls.
Step 3
Another of the simplest options for balloon arches is the "linkalun arch". It is made of balloons that are tied with ends. All you need for such an arch is balloons tied at the ends after filling them with helium. There are a large number of models of such arches. You will get an excellent result if you connect 4 clusters of 5 balls of three colors. The main disadvantage of balloons that are filled with helium. The fact is that they keep inflated from 12 to 24 hours, while the price of helium is quite high.
Step 4
The best solution for such a situation would be to use helium-filled balloon arches for holidays that last either just one day or an evening that will take place in the fresh air. And if you decide to make a holiday that will last more than one day, then it is better to use balloons filled with air for decoration. For such arches, the following components are required: 1) a frame, which is made of solid materials; 2) Fastening arches that are strong at both ends.
Step 5
Don't forget to think about how to fill the balloons. If you count, 6 balls per inch. And it will take a lot of patience and effort to pump them up. You can use a hand pump, but this is not an easy job. The best way to inflate them is with an electric balloon pump. If you do not have one, then rent it. Balloon arches filled with air. It takes not only time and patience, but also some effort.
