GLAM TIPS FOR SUCCESS

✓ Watch ALL of the videos on this page the week before your party

✓ Check this link for special add-on items like space rings, daisy balloons, double-stuffed balloons etc!

✓ Assemble your garland the day before your event

✓ Use an electric pump when you can – this makes the process much faster and easier!

If your balloons are layered, do not separate them. Layering them is what creates the special color effect you will see when they are inflated. See Why Are My Balloons Layered?

✓ Tips Before You Begin

✓ Tips & Tricks Videos

✓ Specialty Tutorials : (adding mylar, balloon daisies, space rings etc)

✓ Assemble Like a PRO! Ribbon Walk-Through

✓ Decorator Strip Garland – Complete Walk Through Video

✓ Garlands will take 1-2 hours to complete. Inflating balloons is what takes the longest! Assembly of the arch is fast and easy once the balloons are ready

✓ You can definitely assemble your garland several days in advance! During this time keep it indoors and in a safe location until you are ready to set up for your party.

✓ DON'T OVER FILL BALLOONS! Press balloons into your hip and let some air out before tying to make it more round in shape.

✓ Use caution when tying and tightening the balloon knot – if you pull the knot super tight, you could tear the balloon which results in leaks.

✓ Tie 5" minis in pairs to speed up assembly

✓ Use 3M command hooks or Clik-Clik Magnets for hanging your arch! Because the balloons are super lightweight you can tie them to just about anything! Just be careful with textured walls and dry grass/twigs because these can pop your balloons.

✓ Want to know the secret to SUPER matte balloons? Sunlight! Outdoor sun will oxidize the latex and make the finish on your inflated balloons become super matte. Check out this video to see a sample!

✓ How to use REQUIRED Hand Pump for 5" Minis

*unless you have a professional grade electric pump, or a tool air compressor, a hand pump is required to inflate double-stuff minis. Inflate these a few days before your party to save on time!

This is our favorite and preferred way to assemble garlands! Ribbon or Fishing Line gives you a super sturdy build that is perfect for outdoor events! Even faster than a decorator strip to put together!! If you are hanging your garland outdoors or moving it from place to place, this is the method for you!
