You can use one as a wedding arch, for bridal showers, or even for birthday and anniversary parties. They're fairly simple to make, but look like they took ages. Balloon decorations are a very affordable way to add style to your special event.
If you want something more intricate, I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Balloon Decor Secrets; it has projects ranging from simple balloon bouquets to detailed arches and even gazebo-style decorations.
Before you create your balloon arch, you have a few things to decide:
* Would you rather use air-filled or helium balloons? Helium balloon
arches will require less support in the frame, but will only last for about 10-12 hours before they begin to weigh on the frame. If you go this route, you will want to rent a helium tank. Air-filled balloons require a more stable frame, but the finished product will last longer and air is less expensive than helium.
* What balloon colors do you want to use in your arch? Is it for a wedding or would happy birthday balloons be more appropriate? Do you want to keep it simple or create balloon art with patterned colors?
* What size balloons do you want to use? To make sure that all of your balloons are the same width, create a template out of cardboard to measure each balloon as it is inflated. Just cut out a circle the same width as you want the balloons to be, and pass each filled balloon through the hole before tying them off to ensure they are the right size.
* How many balloons will you need? You'll need to know the size of your arch first to determine how many balloons to purchase. You will need to purchase about 6 balloons per foot of frame length for a cluster arch. Here are the formulas to figure out the length of the arch. (all lengths are approximate)
o For an arch that is as tall as it is wide: (0.5 x height) + width = length
* In general, you will need 4-6 balloons per foot of frame.
* Keep in mind that helium will only float for about 6-12 hours, depending on the size and of the balloons, and the weather conditions
