Too funny to e how you can manage to smile while you're doing each demo. I'm ALWAYS sweating bullets, huffin' and puffin' and not usually smiling.

Great personality and super helpful video. I have watched several videos on how to hang a balloon garland and never have I seen someone mention a 260 nor had I ever heard of it🙏🏽 truly lifesaver type information lol. Thank you so much. I’ll be subscribing. ♥️
Oh that’s so awesome Bri! Thank you! I couldn’t live without 260s, and this is a method my husband and I developed (though I’m sure other artists do it too, I’ve just never heard of it before lol). Hope you love it!
XOXO,
Rach

Thanks so much Maria, I appreciate that!!

You’re amazing! I did my first garland for my husband’s 70th. I was so proud of the results, not perfect but still chuffed 👍🙏🙏🙏
Thank you 😊 the tutorial very clear and helpful. Your technique looks so simple and easy to do and I hope we can do it. By the way We will try your step by step techniques @ the end of next month. Thank you again for these tutorial videos, appreciated them. 🙏 😘
Eeek! Excited for you! Best of luck and you're so welcome!
XOXO,
Rach
You are the bomb! I learned so much from watching this video! I may not ever use a backdrop stand again!
Yassssss!!!! That's awesome Kim! I still prefer hanging to permanent fixtures wherever possible, but Command hooks can come in handy!!
XOXO,
Rach
Hi Rachel, your tutorials have helped me gain so much confidence in building arches and garlands! I have an upcoming event where I would like to hang a garland over a 10'x8' freestanding banner frame. The issue is that the horizontal bar of the frame won't be accessible because it will be fed through the pocket of the banner. Other than anchoring the bases of the frame with heavy weights, how would you secure the garland? Can I use large spring clamps for the horizontal bar and attach the garland to them using 260's?
Hi Kim! Oh that’s awesome, thank you for watching and sharing the kind words! Yes that’s exactly what I would do, that’s what I do when I use backdrops. I think I even have the clamps I use linked in most video descriptions, but yeah just about any secure clamp should do it! Best of luck to you, I bet you’re going to do great! 🫶🏻
XOXO,
Rach
Thank you for the quick response!
Thank you. I was using fishing wire to attach to the wall and to backdrop. This seems easier.
yessss I agree!
XOXO,
Rach
Thank you.
Thank you so much 😊
You are so welcome!! ☺️🤩
XOXO,
Rach
You are absolutely amazing. Explain very well and perfect for beginners! Thank you so much. My daughter is turning 1 and will be making balloon arch and your tips will certainly help and I am confident that it will look amazing! Thank you so so so much!
Oh my gosh Priya thanks so much for the kind words! Congrats & happy first birthday to your daughter! So glad I could be of help, you're most welcome : )
XOXO,
Rach
Agree. Even though you talk at the speed of light, you enunciate well so I can understand 😉. You’re an excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge so generously.
Great tip!! What do you use for brick walls? I've tried command hooks but they kept falling off.
Very helpful
I'm so glad Almeira!
XOXO,
Rach
awesome video
Thanks Katherine!!! ✨
XOXO,
Rach
You are amazing with your instructions, thanks!!
My question for you is what do you do if there is no window to go around?? I’m giving my friend a baby shower and have noticed in the restaurant there is no window, I am right on the corner of the room?? What would you do?
Thank you! I cut rubber bands and tied them together.
Love that ingenuity!!

Rach
@BubblyBalloonCo
Hi. I've been watching your videos for quite some time, and have learned from them. Thanks for sharing. My question is regarding adhesive on walls. Command hooks do not stay on flat paint [new home developments]. Do you have a recommendation for an adhesive for flat paint?
How do I attach to an outdoor tent entrance. Will these hooks stick to tent material?🎉
Hi do you tie the 260s in a knot after attaching the balloons to the command hooks and putting it around the balloons
Hey Fran! Personally, I don't, I just wrap it a lot, but you absolutely could if you wanted to!
XOXO,
Rach
What’s the other thing called that you used to hang them up besides the command hooks? The stretchy thing you tied it with.
That’s a 260 balloon! You can use fishing line or string or ribbon, but I find 260s the easiest to work with!
XOXO,
Rach
Question how would you mount to metal? Or glass?
Where can the 260’s be purchased? Please provide link. Thank you
Hello love your videos the are very helpful for us beginners. I have to do my grandaughters first birthday balloons because she lives in Alaska no party decorators there. So im practicing first. So I tried the cluster but it doesn’t look as pretty as yours. I think my first mistake was balloons too big.how many inches do you recommend the balloons to be?
Hi Pamela! It definitely takes some practice to get used to it all! I would use 11 inch balloons or a mix of 11 & 17 inch balloons for the cluster and inflate them to different sizes - on the 11s I usually go for a mix between 7 & 10 or so, and round! Roundness is key to a pretty cluster! I hope that helps. And I love Alaska! Wish I could come do them for you guys! 🤩🤩 happy 1st birthday!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳
XOXO,
Rach
You are a life saver! How soon in advance can these be hung and last? is this something that has to be done the day of or can it be done days ahead???
Hey Nikki! I always recommend testing them out ahead of time by inflating a few of the ones you'll be using as soon as possible to see how they age so you're certain they're going to look good on the day of!
XOXO,
Rach
Thank you for sharing this tip. The 260’s seem to attach more sturdy
You’re so welcome! Yes, I think so too, it’s honestly changed the game for me 🙌🏻🙌🏻
XOXO,
Rach
Can you use rope to void the cutting of the balloons?
Thanks for this. Do you tie the 260 into a knot so that it doesn't come undone?
On the command hooks? Yes! On the balloons? Nah, but you could. I just wrap it a ton.
XOXO,
Rach
So happy I found your videos ! How far in advance would you say you can blow up the balloons before an event ?
Hi Emily! Usually they can be done a day or more ahead of time, but I always recommend you test it by inflating a few of the ones you'll be using to see how they age and have confidence how they'll do for you!
XOXO,
Rach
Does a damage the paint wall?
Where can I get 160s and 260s. I can’t stop watching your videos. Subscribed 🤗🤗🤗
Aww yay! Awesome, Ceci : ) Here's a video I just did on where to buy which balloons: czcams.com/video/8Bq5Nygv8q0/video.html
XOXO,
Rach
i love your videos! Im just starting out.. Where do u recommend buying balloons besides amazon if anywhere? Also whats the earliest in advance you’d recommend hanging a garland?
Hey Lauren, check this video out for my fave brands and where I buy, I also have another video on buying from Amazon or Etsy if you choose to do that. czcams.com/video/8Bq5Nygv8q0/video.html and how early to hang depends on how your garland is going to age, I always recommend testing by inflating a bunch asap and see if they still look good after a couple days or if it needs to be same day or what. Hope that helps!
XOXO,
Rach
Hi, so you just keep wrapping the 260's to the arch? I thought the two sides of the 260 still needs to meet to be secured:)
Hey there! You can of course tie the ends together if you want, but what I do is just wrap the loose end in there a ton to keep it wrapped in tight! It hasn't failed me yet!
XOXO,
Rach
How far in advance can you make a garland? Love your work!!
Thanks Janet! Totally depends on the balloons you're using and your environment. Sometimes they still look like new after a few days, and sometimes it needs to be the day of. I recommend testing with the exact balloons you'll be using ahead of time to see how they age for you.
XOXO,
Rach
So you don't need to tie the 260? Will just wrapping it around will keep it in place?
That’s what I do! But no harm in tying it if you feel more secure with it that way! I wrap it a LOT so it’s really stuck lol
XOXO,
Rach
❤🎈🎈
Ugh. The place I’m hosting party only allows set up 20 min before. How can I attach without command hooks if it takes 24 hrs to cure? Please& thx!
Oof! Been there. 1) the books I use only take an hour to cure so that’s not so bad, 2) how heavy is your garland? If it’s a light/small one I would hope it wouldn’t be a problem, but you could maybe use extra hooks? 3) look for other ways to attach. A ceiling you can hang from, nails in the wall, physical things that are there that you can attach to, that’s always my first choice because command hooks aren’t perfect, but I’ve never had a problem with attaching to something permanent. Best of luck to you!
XOXO,
Rach
This video is soo helpful. But I’d be scared that as I’m wrapping the balloons start to pop. Does that ever happen?
So after you wrapped the 260 around the balloons .. you just let the 260 go and it stayed in place? You don’t have to tie it to anything?
Hi Nia! Yes, believe it or not! I wrap it many times through many balloons to make sure it's secure (and I usually go overboard to be safe). Or you could do the opposite, tie the one end to the garland and tie the other end to the command hook, but I've never had a problem with the first method (aside from a surface where the command hook won't stick, ugh!) 😜
XOXO,
Rach
We gonna have a new year party and I am the one who's in charge for decorating and ur video was amazing 🤩 🙌 question how to remove safely the command hooks? Thanks in advance happy New Year to you and ur family sending you lots of love from Dubai
Hi Robert!! Such a good question! I actually published a video on that last month, it’s on my channel page! You’ll see how easy it is 😍 lots of love to you and yours in Dubai, you’re gonna do great!! Happy New Year!!!
XOXO,
Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo thank you so much. I wish I can put pictures in comment to show you what I learned from ur amazing videos ☺️
How long does the garland last for? Can you do it a few days prior or no?
Hi! Usually you're safe to do a garland a couple days in advance as long as you're using professional grade balloons, but I always recommend testing the balloons you're going to be using by inflating a few as soon as possible to see how they age over the coming days so you're sure!
XOXO,
Rach
Do you think that using heat would make it secure stronger/ faster
I haven’t tried that, I’m really not sure. If you do, let me know!
So you don’t need to tie the end of the attachment point?
I tie the 260 to the attachment point, but then I just wrap it throughout the garland. You can tie it off if you prefer!
XOXO,
Rach
What’s the best way to hang a balloon on a wall or outside
Hey! I find that hanging on something permanent is always the best option, but if nothing exists I can secure it to, command hooks will do in a pinch. They make indoor and outdoor ones so just choose the right one for the surface you’re using and follow the tips on the box to make sure it sticks!
XOXO,
Rach
How big is that arch?
Approximately how long does it take to complete a garland like this?
Hi Angela! Check out this video here to see how to make a garland like this in about 15 minutes: czcams.com/video/HT_DaiPH4WU/video.html It might take some practice, but you can get pretty quick at it! If it's your first time, I'd allow a couple of hours, at least : )
XOXO,
Rach
Is this secure to do outside and the balloons not fly away
Hey there! No, for outdoors I would recommend tying them down to something permanent - a railing, etc. - or a backdrop, with either fishing line or 260s, something like that.
XOXO,
Rach
Great video😊 Can you please link the command hooks used.
Do you have ideas of using command hooks outside?
Thank you!
These are the .5 lb hooks - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KYOGJG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I usually use the 2-3 lb hooks though - www.target.com/p/command-6-hooks-12-strips-medium-sized-utility-hooks-value-pack-white/-/A-14887336#lnk=sametab
They do make command hooks that are meant for the outdoors, but it depends what you're attaching to! It's good for a smooth building, like metal or siding, but it's not good for concrete/cement, etc. They also make exterior ones for windows. Same rules as usual - follow the package instructions but make sure you cure it for an hour before hanging!
Best of luck!
XOXO,
Rach
How long do these balloon garlands last? Can I make it two days before a party? Can I transport in a cool car?
Hey can you use those on Balloon wall
You can use command hooks to make a balloon wall, yes. It will take a lot of them, and I would recommend 3 lb or higher. Good luck!
XOXO,
Rach
PS
I do have a balloon wall video coming out this summer, hope that helps too!
@@BubblyBalloonCo okay thanks 🙂
do the hooks work for the outside?
Hi Migi, they make outdoor command hooks, just make sure you get the right ones for your surface 🙂
XOXO,
Rach
How do you attach them to the ceiling??????? Please do a video
Alsooooo
How do you hang a neon sign to your backdrops???
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Please
Hey again! Thanks for the suggestions! Appreciate your input : )
XOXO,
Rach
Oh wow I really didn’t know command hooks needed to cure! It that why nothing stays up it my house 😅
LOL! Very possibly! The first time I read the back of the box I was shocked! 😄
Can you tell me what inflator you recommend?
Yes! It’s actually linked in the video description, let me know if you can’t find it. It’s a cheap one but it’s done well for me!
XOXO,
Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo oh fantastic!! im going to try my best to do this for my daughter's baby shower! wish me luck!
How do you hang the balloons on a backdrop?
Hi Vicky!! I cover a couple different methods in some other videos - you can tie it to the backdrop stand itself, you can put command hooks on the wall behind the stand, you can attach the garland to the backdrop clips on the stand, or even put safety pins in the cloth backdrop and attach to those. I prefer the more permanent methods myself!
XOXO,
Rach
What if you can't use command hooks?
I always recommend attaching to something permanent, Command hooks are only my backup if nothing else is available. Nails, screws, railings, bannisters are all preferable to Command hooks imo!
XOXO,
Rach
Instead of those balloons, would a ribbon work?
Yep! I have a separate video on that but yes, same concept! Just tie it in and you’re set!
XOXO,
Rach
Also, If using command hooks on a set up/ someone else’s house, you could put painters tape (blue) and put the command hook on top and no damage to the wall
Yes!!! I have had that fall down on me before though so I’m always cautious 😅😅😂
XOXO,
Rach
Good to know! I haven’t tried it ( haven’t gotten the chance to) 😆 but I’ve seen so many ppl recommend it.. thank you for the response!
Of course! Definitely try it and see how it goes! I’ve had it fall on me at least twice - one on silky wallpaper and another on a wall I assume was covered in grease (it was near a kitchen). Perhaps on a “normal” wall this will never happen! Best of luck!
@@BubblyBalloonCo what do you suggest for a textured wall?
Mine keeps falling using the painters tape
Ughhhhh same tbh. Maybe look for a special kind of command hook? But if the client doesn’t have somewhere feasible to attach, I recommend they rent a backdrop. 😬
So have my daughters baby shower and I ordered kits...so many shades of each color! Don't want to spend more 🤑will it look alright if I have 5 shades of each color? Am doing balloon stands, a giant ring, a strip, and a free standing garland. Didn't do balloons for her graduation party so trying to make up for it with this🤣
Btw am using almost all of your videos to accomplish this balloon bonanza! Very informative videos! P.S.Thank you for being perky but not overboard perky😂 a joy to watch
Awww yay! That’s gonna be so gorgeous! So you’re doing five sizes in each color!? That’s plenty if so. That sounds amazing! Wishing you best of luck! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
XOXO,
Rach
5 different shades of peach, 3 different shades of sage green. It looks like there are 2 shades of white and 3 shades of gold. 2 shades of dusty pink and 2 shades of pearl-ish rose gold🤦♀️I know I have 5", 9", 12" and 18" and there might be more🙄. But no bigger ones. Thanks to your videos though I can make them every size under 18" my heart desires😘 I'll try to get pictures to post here
Sounds amazing!!! You’ve got this!!!
💖
Where do you purchase your balloons?
Hey Tina! I cover that in this video, hope it helps! czcams.com/video/8Bq5Nygv8q0/video.html
XOXO,
Rach
You don’t know the 260 when you’ve wrapped it? You just wrap it around a bunch of balloons and quit? Or did a I miss that?
I just wrap it a bunch, but you can tie it if you want 🙃
XOXO,
Rach
260s are balloons?
Yes! The long thin stretchy ones!
XOXO,
Rach
Where do I get 260’s
I buy them wherever I get my balloons - they're available at any party store/supplier as well as Amazon.
XOXO,
Rach
Thank you Rachel. I ❤️your videos and your kind great descriptions of how to make balloon decor. I think I am becoming addicted to balloon art Bcuz of you. It is so much fun and creative. U R wonderful balloon artist! Thx for info
Who sales 260
Hi Dorrida! Qualatex, Sempertex, Decomex, etc. all make 260s, and they are available from pretty much all the balloon suppliers. I often use PS Helium, Bargain Balloons, All American Balloons, and a few others. Good luck!
XOXO,
Rach
