How To Make A Balloon Garland in Less Than an Hour

I have seen balloon garland’s all over Pinterest and all over my Instagram feed. I was determined to make one, and I did it! So here’s how to make a balloon garland in less than an hour.

I highly recommend having a partner because it will make it more efficient and speed up the whole process.

How To Make A Balloon Garland

What You’ll Need

Electric Air Balloon Pump

Balloons

It took me about 75 balloons for this garland.

Pink Balloon Set

White and Gold Balloon Set

Balloon Garland Strip

String and Nails to hang it up

Step 1: Blow up the balloons

This little electric air pump was a total time and lung saver. Just simply pop the balloon over it you are good to go. One important note when blowing up the balloons is to make everything a little more symmetrical, we didn’t blow up the balloons all the way to give it more of a circle/round shape rather than an oblong one.

Step 2: Put the knot through the balloon strip

If you have someone helping this is where it goes A LOT faster. Jared was blowing up the balloons then handing them to me to attach.

This balloon strip was a lifesaver. I watched tutorials on YouTube where people tied 4 balloons together with fishing wire, but no one has time for this. This little strip saved so much time and was the perfect guide.

At first, I got nervous because I was doing every hole and it started to curl up on its self but as you keep going it flattens out, so don’t stress if that happens to you!

Step 3: Attach it to the wall

We just used a nail and then wrapped some string around the balloon garland strip and voila! We hung this up at about 5 PM, the party started at 7 and we left it up until 5 PM the next day and it held strong.

We also made the whole garland the night before and then hung it up the next day with no problems. I would not recommend the clear balloons with confetti for the outside. Due to the heat and humidity, they became cloudy, which wasn’t a big deal but something to think about!
