✨ Quick Step-by-Step: DIY Balloon Arch
-
Inflate Your Balloons
Use the pump to inflate balloons in various sizes to give your arch a dynamic, professional look. -
Build the Base
Attach inflated balloons into the balloon strip by inserting the tied ends through the pre-made holes, alternating colors and sizes. -
Shape Your Arch
Mount your strip on the wall, entryway, or arch stand. Use command hooks for a wall-mounted style, or use a freestanding base. -
Add Accents
Use glue dots to add smaller balloons or themed foil balloons for extra flair—like graduation caps or “Class of 2025” text. -
Finish with Flair
Add ribbons, stars, or confetti balloons to personalize your arch.
