6 Ways To Elevate The Use Of Balloons Without Helium

Balloons are like the life of the party, but getting a helium tank for balloons can be pretty tricky – unless you engage in the help of a professional. Regardless, there are many other ways for you to incorporate balloons, even without helium. Ready to get inspired with some do-it-yourself balloon decoration ideas? If yes, then read on!

1. Use it as a topper for cakes

Are you looking to zing up the presentation of your cake? Aside from the usual candles, give your cake a little pop with a balloon topper. After purchasing a couple of balloons from a party shop in-store or online, blow them up slightly and seal it. Then, carefully thread a wooden skewer through the balloon ties. Now, all that’s left for you to do is place it on a cake! You can also attach your mini balloons at the tip of a drink stirrer!

2. Form a shape

You don’t have to be an expert in making elements for this activity. As long as you know the basics of forming a shape, then that should suffice. With some balloons, arrange it any way you like. For instance, if you’re celebrating a birthday, then you can create the number of the age of the birthday boy or girl. Cut out an appropriate length of double-sided tape for the balloons to stick. If you’re feeling fancy, you can add some flowers in between the joints. From hearts to stars to alphabets, the only limit is your creativity!

3. Dangle it upside down from the top

The beauty of helium balloons is its ability to float anywhere. Even without helium, you can still recreate this experience by hanging balloons from various “anchors”, such as the ceiling, trees, and so forth. Once the balloons are all inflated, tie a ribbon, string or twine around the balloon tie. Once that’s done, you can start hanging them from any anchor.

4. Put together a balloon garland

If you want to liven up your party with some colours, a balloon garland is the best way to get started. Be it colourful or monochromatic, let’s begin with the basics. Firstly, inflate and tie all the balloons. Then, with a long ribbon, take your time tying each balloon using that same string. Leave some space between each of the balloons depending on your preference to have them close together or spaced out.

5. Build a balloon wall

As the saying goes, “take a picture, it’ll last longer”. At almost every party, every picture-worthy moment must be captured because once the party is over, the only memento of it will be the photos. However, you don’t have to spend loads of money on a professional set up! In fact, you can create your own with a balloon wall. Stick the balloons securely on the wall until you’re satisfied with your creation.

6. Create a balloon flower

Give the traditional floral arrangements a miss, and spruce up your party with bouquets of balloons! To create one bouquet, you’ll need five large balloons and one mini one. Cut a circle on a thick piece of paper with five equally-spaced slits and one tiny ‘x’ in the middle. Then, attach the mini balloon in the middle and slide the balloon ties of the large flowers around the circumference of the circle paper. And there you have it, a flower made out of balloons!
