One hundred and fifty balloons in every color, and everything you need to turn them into an arch. This is the kit that makes a room look like somebody hired a decorator.
The balloons come in three sizes, 18 inch, 12 inch, and 5 inch, which is the whole trick. Big balloons build the shape, mid sizes fill it in, and the little ones tuck into the gaps so you never see the strip underneath. Everything else is in the box too: the connector strip, a sheet of glue dots, twelve rubber bands, and a straw for inflating by mouth if you do not have a pump.
Use it over a doorway, behind a dessert table, along a mantel, or up a staircase rail. It reads as a rainbow from across the room and photographs beautifully from any angle, which matters more than it sounds like it should.
How do you make a balloon garland? Inflate the balloons to a mix of sizes, then push each knotted neck through a hole in the connector strip, alternating colors and sizes as you go. Fill any gaps with the smallest balloons using glue dots. Hang the finished garland with removable wall hooks or adhesive strips.
