We've received loads of messages asking how we created our Christmas Balloon Backdrop. It was super easy and would look incredible at any festive celebration, here is how we did it!
You will need:
- Wide Coloured Ribbon
- Strong Mounting Tape (like this) or a cool glue gun will work too,
- A selection of foil balloons, we used 23 in total all from Pretty Little Party Shop
- We used a combination of the following balloons: Silver Crescent Moon, Red Candy Swirl Balloons, Pink Candy Swirl Balloon, Silver Rounds, Raspberry Rounds, Teal Rounds, Red Rounds, Silver Hearts, Red Hearts, Red Orbs, Silver Orbs, Silver Cubez, Silver Diamondz, Raspberry Four Point Stars and an Elf On the Shelf Balloon
Creating this balloon display is so easy! You will need either strong sticky tape or a cool glue gun. This may mark your walls, test firstly or put this together against a backdrop.
Step 1: Inflate all the balloons, ideally with a hand held or electric balloon pump.
Step 2: For the presents we used Cubez Balloons, tye them with 2" wide ribbon exactly as if you were tying a huge present! There is a great tutorial for puff gift bows here.
Step 3: Begin sticking the balloons to the wall using your mounting tape, we started with the foil round balloons and the crescent to create the base and worked upwards.
Step 4: Once you have a base layer add on other balloons on top to cover any gaps
Step 5: Pile up more large cubez and orb balloons at the base, you could even add in some candy cane balloons, honeycomb balls or small latex balloons if you wish. We have a wonderful selection of Christmas balloons here that you could use!
