    When I was an Activity Director in Assisted Living homes for senior citizens, for every event my director would want a balloon arch, but my activity budget never could afford the one's you saw in the activity catalogs.
    Amazing that you were able to do it so cheaply and it looks professionally made!

    Looks so pretty! Just a little tip for you next time you do the balloon arch add the weight when you tie on your first balloon quad. You can also just put water inside of another balloon as your weight. Also instead of using ribbon you can use fishing wire it gives you a little more stability on your arch just check the thickness of the fish string by lbs when you buy it. And lastly to make the balloon a little bit darker if you’re using dollar store balloons layer them one inside the other when you blow them up and it’ll give you a darker effect.

    I make arches a lot and My tip is you really don’t have to twist the ribbon around all four balloons each time, honestly twisting around one will hold it in place, maybe two if it’s going to be outside in the wind 😋

    I appreciate this tutorial! I made a balloon arch following these instructions two days ago for my daughter's 18th birthday party just yesterday. You never mentioned just how hard it is to tie two balloons together, lol! I couldn't get the little tie-helper-thingy that came with the balloon pump to work, so we did them all by hand and it was hard on us. Our balloons were from Party City, so maybe they were less stretchy or something, but if I did it again I would try to get some tiny rubber bands (like for braces) and just tie each balloon by itself then use the rubber bands to make the pairs. Also, I don't recall if you stressed it much in the video, but it really is important to NOT over-inflate. My husband kept making them pear-shaped and then pairing different sizes, so it was tougher to make them lay flat in the "flower" as I stacked and swirled. Here is a tip if you run out of balloons or just get too tired to keep going (both happened to us!): In order to make the top of the arch high enough, we set the bottoms on chairs, which also helped keep the ends in place because I forgot about adding weights. We had a decorative bench under it and a backdrop behind it for photos, so it worked out well. My daughter was tickled and I am pretty proud of my new skill. Thank you for the video!

    Beautiful! Just a little note if anyone has a latex sensitivity, sometimes the balloons in the dollar tree bags come with a lot of powder and can trigger to the skin and nose when handling and inflating them. I had to forego the DIY because this happened to me but if you and your helpers are ok this is definitely worth it!

    Did this same method for making an arch for my daughters birthday party back in January with Walmart and Dollar Tree balloons. Made it the day before and was worried about the balloons deflating before her party the next day. Not only did they stay up perfectly but we moved it up to her bedroom and just popped it over the weekend because she was tired of it taking up space. That thing lasted 3 months! So good! 👍

    Could you imagine having an arch like this around the doorway when a mom is coming home with her baby? When we adopted our son my mom had decorated my front lawn and our living room to welcome us home because it took a week until we were able to come back home and it was so special.
