Materials Used

  • Mini balloons
  • Optional: balloon pump 
  • Beading wire 
  • Scissors 
  • Optional: paper and gold mylar tassels

Instructions

  1. Start by blowing up your balloons. We used about 25 mini balloons. Tie off the ends of the balloons as usual.
  2. Cut a length of beading wire about two feet longer than the area you’d like to cover with your garland. Our area was about 3 feet, so I cut 5 feet of wire.
  3. Insert the end of the beading wire through the tied-off tail of your balloons one by one and string them onto the wire. Stop when it’s as full as you’d like to be.
  4. Hang your garland! We stuck a couple of thumbtacks in a hidden spot on our doorway trim and wrapped the wire around the thumbtacks.
  5. It’s totally optional, but I really love the tassels on the ends of the garland. So if you’d like to add them, cut another length of wire and string some tassels on. You might want to loop the wire around individual tassels to keep them spaced out as they hang down. We attached these to the thumbtacks also, and the balloons hid everything nicely.
