✨ Step-by-Step Guide to Building Your Garland

1. Plan Your Space

Decide where the garland will go—behind a dessert table, over a welcome sign, or framing an entrance. Measure the space so you know how long you want your garland.

2. Inflate Balloons

Use a pump to inflate balloons in varied sizes. For a more organic look, under-inflate some balloons so they look round rather than oval. Mix balloon sizes to create depth and fullness.

Pro Tip: Inflate all the large balloons first, followed by medium and small ones. This helps balance your color distribution.

3. Attach to Garland Strip

Insert the knotted ends of your inflated balloons into the pre-punched holes of the decorating strip. Alternate sizes and colors as you go. Leave extra strip at both ends for hanging.

4. Add Dimension with Glue Dots

Once the base is complete, use glue dots to attach 5" or 10" balloons on top of larger ones. This step adds volume and texture to the garland.

5. Hang Your Garland

Use fishing line or 3M hooks to hang your garland. Gently bend and shape the strip to contour your backdrop or wall. You can also anchor the ends with weights or command hooks.

6. Embellish (Optional)

Want to elevate your look even more? Add faux florals, tassels, or LED lights for extra flair.
