10 Tips for Creating a Balloon aRCH Garland with a DIY Kit
1. Choose Your Colour Theme
Stick to 2–5 colours for a cohesive look. A mix of blues is perfect for a baby shower, birthday balloons, or cool-toned wedding decor.
2. Vary Balloon Sizes
When using our Balloon Arch Kit.....Use a combination of standard, mini, and large balloons to create a more organic and full appearance. This is key to achieving the popular organic balloon arch look.
3. Use a Balloon Pump
Save your breath! A balloon pump is essential for speed and consistency, especially when inflating 50+ balloons.
4. Start with the Base
Begin by building the basic shape with larger balloons, then fill in gaps with smaller ones. Hang your garland before adding finishing touches.
5. Pick the Right Location
Balloon garlands make amazing photo booth backdrops, entrance arches, or frames around cake and gift tables.
6. Secure with Command Hooks or Tape
Use damage-free hooks or strong adhesive tape to attach the garland to walls, ceilings, or furniture.
7. Add Florals or Greenery
For weddings or elegant occasions, consider weaving in faux flowers or leaves to elevate your party backdrop.
8. Use Glue Dots for Smaller Balloons
These are great for attaching smaller balloons to fill gaps and create depth.

Build your garland 24 hours in advance. Latex balloons last well indoors and even longer with a balloon shine spray.
