Balloon arches are a sure-fire way to create a grand entrance.

Instructions

It is fast and easy to make a single line balloon arch with round balloons. For an 18-foot arch, figure about 30 seconds per balloon so under 10 minutes. Begin by tying a weight to one end of curling ribbon and tie the other end temporarily to a chair back leaving several feet of space where you will tie on balloons. Helium fill a balloon fully and tie onto the ribbon about 12" from the weighted end. Continue adding helium balloons along the line making sure there is about 1 inch of space between each balloon so they are not crowded but evenly spaced along the ribbon in a straight line. You can gently slide the balloons a little on the ribbon to adjust the spacing if needed. End the arch by tying another weight at the opposite end leaving 12" between the last balloon and the weight. Tip: Each balloon on the ribbon takes up one foot of space. Depending on how far apart and how high you want the arch, you should figure 12" per balloon. The number of balloons you fill/ the size of the arch will determine how many Balloon Time helium balloon kits you will need.
