I'll be referring back to your videos approx. 1 hr before my kid's birthday party lol THANK YOUUUU ♡♡♡
🤣🤣🤣💀 THANK 👏🏻 YOU 👏🏻 👯♀️
Also please leave more than an hour for your first one 😂😅

Same. It's a perfect tutorial
I couldn’t have said this better if I tried😂 thank you
Someone that finally talk you through the process

That’s awesome Tracey!! 🥰 you’re so welcome!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I’ve watch a couple videos and I just started to feel overwhelmed. BUT THIS tutorial put me in the right mind set! It’s currently 12:22am and I WILL COMPLETE THIS in time for my sons party at 3pm!
It's my daughters 2nd birthday in 5 days so I'm new to the birthday decorating, this helped me so much.
I got quoted alot to have one made and i couldn't afford it as a single mum. So i bought a kit myself for £3.99. I'm pretty sure I'll nail it after watching this.
Thankyou Queen 🤍
Hi Illona! I totally understand, and I'm so glad this was able to help you! You're welcome 💖 Happy 2nd birthday to your princess!
XOXO,
Rach
Illona I agree with you all the quotes I’ve gotten from people who make these balloon arches want more than $100. And that’s just not in my budget when I spend $300 on food and party supplies . And especially the birthday cake alone it $100. So making these balloon kits myself will be more affordable
Same here, Illona! It's amazing how some professionals look down on people using kits from Amazon but not everyone can afford experts
Ilona, I did my very first balloon arch from a kit with the arch support poles. The estimated time was 40 minutes, but it took me 2 1/2 hours and I did it the night before the baby shower. I was so pleased with the results, only after watching her video twice. If I can do this, you certainly can. I must say, my thumb and forefinger was a bit sore afterwards from tying the balloons. I had an electric pump, rounded the balloons as she suggested and used the balloon arch poles, bases filled with water and balloon plastic rings, that held four balloons per ring and the ring slipped onto the pole.
Thank you Illona Rosa Cairns!! Your instructions are impeccable, your delivery is clear, and your approach is fun...in other words...you check all the boxes AND save laypeople a whole lot of money in the process!!🏆👏🏽🏆
Thank you for saving me hahaha I ordered a balloon kit off Amazon and panicking the day before my daughters first birthday party trying to figure out how to put it together! You made it so much easier!!!
Your tutorials are fabulous, you make this look so easy! I can't wait to try my hand at my first garland for my niece's baby shower! Thank you for sharing your talent, tips, tricks, and your bubbly personality!!
Awww thank you Kristine! Best of luck to you and congrats to your niece! You're so welcome 💖
XOXO,
Rach

XOXO,
Rach
Thank you! Its for my daughter's 9th birthday, so exciting!

Thank you for speaking so quickly. I didn't have to fast forward like I normally do. 😆 Very necessary video. Love it!
Yesssss! My people! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🏃🏼♀️💨

This was a very helpful tutorial, I never realized that flattening the top of the balloon to make them round made such a big difference! Thanks for sharing.
Watched several balloon arch videos and yours was the best. Followed your guidance and it turned out beautifully.
Me at 6am before my bachelorette. “You could just store them in a garbage bag beforehand” 😍😍😍😍😍😎😎😎 you right lol

That was mesmerizing. I found myself thinking I can do this (in case I can't get you to come and do it for me!). This was great, Rachel!
Thank you so much!!! That means a lot to me! 💗🌟
You would do amazing at it, FOR SURE! But still, use me wherever possible 😜

Thank you. I spent 3 hrs trying to get ballons to stay on, and I finally realized my knots were to small. Your video is SO helpful. I'll get some sleep and follow your instructions in the morning.
Best tutorial I’ve seen! Thank you so much!! I actually feel like I can do this now!
Thank you! You just saved me for my kid's trunk or treat. Thanks to you, I had one of the best ones out there!!

You ROCK !! Thanks to you my garland job went swimmingly
I’m so so glad to hear it! Your picture was *beautiful* congrats Robert!!! 🙌🏻🥳
Let me start by saying, I've never made a balloon garland before! I'm throwing a gender reveal for a friend today and decided to do a balloon garland. This video was SO helpful, but... I ran out of balloon strip. I had a ton more balloons to use. So, I used the cluster method from your other videos and made it happen!! It's gorgeous and I'm so excited about it. Thank you Rachel!
Oh this is so awesome Kortney!!! 😍😍😍 congrats to your friend! So glad it turned out awesome ✨
XOXO,
Rach
I love your tutorial so much. It was so easy to follow. Thank you.

How early can you make one of these? Can you make it the day before and have it ready? Or does it have to be made the same day?
Hi Gabby, good question! I would inflate a few balloons as soon as your kit arrives and see how they age over the coming days. If they look pretty unchanged, the night before or even a day or so in advance could be safe, as long as it'll be indoors and out of direct sunlight.
XOXO,
Rach
Thank you so much for this video, this will be super helpful this weekend!!
I'm so glad!! You are most welcome 💗
XOXO,
Rach
Great video! And maybe it's just me because I'm Southern and talk fast. But I understood every word you said lol Good stuff!!
Heeeey thanks! I hope it's not just you ; ) And howdy from a Floridian living in Tennessee!
XOXO,

Love all of your tips and the variety of options you present in your videos. Thank you!
So awesome to hear it, thanks Karen!

This is so helpful!!! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
You're super cute and bubbly and this was super helpful. Making one of these for the first time for a party this weekend and I've been stressing over how to size, place, etc., but you explained it so well and made it seem pretty simple. Thank you!
Hi Hina! Thanks for the kind words! Best of luck, hope it went well!

@@BubblyBalloonCo Oh my goodness, it went great. Your tips and calm demeanor helped alleviate my stress and the arch turned out AMAZING! Everyone raved about it, thank you again!!!
i’m attempting my 1st garland today b/c U gave me the confidence to believe I can do it!!!! 🥳
Eeeek! That's so exciting Jennifer!!! Hope it turned out amazing! Thanks for the kind words 💖
XOXO,

@@BubblyBalloonCo it turned out awesome !!! it was tricky at first but I got into swing of it. got stuck on hanging it and then figured it out. it’s been up for a week now and going strong !! 😂😁💗
Thank you for being so thorough!!!
This was awesome and so helpful thank you so much!!
I’m glad a came across your tutorial, I been looking watching and ordering everything I think I need after watching you I think I brought stuff I probably want use, you made it a lot easier😊
So glad to hear it was helpful! Best of luck to you! 🎈
XOXO,

YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you for sharing!💕💕💕
Awwww thank you Dana!! You are most welcome!! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve done garlands before but your advice with the safety pin was just what I needed. I was always struggling with tape.
Watching ur videos have givening me enough confidence to try making a balloon arch on my own. I’m praying it works out well for me haha
Hahahah! You've got this Jessica!! It's surprisingly easy, and gets more so with practice. 💋
XOXO,
Rach
Girl, I thank God for you. I need help and this helped. Thank you!
Really good tips... Thank you so much for this useful video 🌹
You're so welcome Cristelle! Thanks for the kind words, glad it helped!
XOXO,
Rach
Very helpful video! Was wondering if it's possible(or if you tried it)to insert a duplex into the strip instead of individually. Would it make the garland go faster? since you can use two nozzles at once with an electric pump.
You are such an awesome teacher . ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Why thank you!!! : )
XOXO,
Rach
THANK YOU 🙏🕊🙏SO VERY MUCH! Most informative & you're a wonderful teacher!
Oh you are so welcome! That's wonderful to hear, very glad you found it helpful!
XOXO,
Rach
OMG Rachel, i tried both the single hole strips and the double hole strips and the double hole strip is hands down the best of the two. i am making a balloon garland for the first time for my daughter's baby shower. At first, I was so stressed out, but after watching your video about ten times, i felt confident that I can do this. I also want to add that is would helpful if you would not talk so fast because that is the reason why i had to watch the video so many times to understand what you were saying. Please don't take offense to this, Rachel. I just think it might help. Thank you for putting out this video.
I agree the double hole strips are infinitely better! I wish you the best this weekend, good luck on the garland for the shower! I get that feedback a lot (especially on this exact video) 🙈 hope it was still helpful even if I talk like lightning!
XOXO,
Rach
Wow!!!! Can you do tutorials on everything in my life. LOL! I rarely comment on You Tube and generally hate watching long tutorials as it's usually people just talking too much. But every single bit of this tutorial was informative and at an amazing pace. Every question I would think of while watching, you then eventually expalined thoroughly, clear, and quick. Great job and thank you for the knowledge!
HAHAHA I feel you so hard! I'm so glad you got value out of it and I answered your questions hopefully without being too annoying ; )
XOXO,
Rach
Thank you, best and most helpful tutorial by far!
Oh wow, thanks for the kind words! Glad you found it helpful ✨
XOXO,
Rach
This is great. Thank you for sharing.x
Thanks Morline!! : )
XOXO,

This looks like something I could try!
Yaasssss! It’s pretty easy, just a little tough on the fingers 😅 Would love to see you make some balloon magic!
XOXO,
Rach
This is so cute! So glad I found you!! ❤❤❤
Why thank you! Me too! 🥰🥰🥰
XOXO,
Rach
Ok! I think I'm ready 😂 thanks for the tutorial ❤
I had a go at this for my daughters Birthday. Got a kit off Amazon for £10 and have to say it turned out Amazing for my first attempt . I found tying the balloons the most challenging ( nearly cutting off the circulation in my fingers at one point ) but it got easier as I went along : ) Would definitely give it another go. Took me 3 hours to complete though, but was worth it.
Oh that's so awesome Emily! Congrats on doing your first one! Yes, this method (single-tying balloons and using a strip) is so hard on the fingers! Believe it or not, the professional methods I teach in my other videos are actually SO much easier on the fingers : ) I hope you do keep creating more and having fun with it, thanks for sharing! And HBD to your daughter!
XOXO,
Rach
Don't over fill the balloons and you'll find them easier to tie, but it's still painful after you've done a LOT!!
👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
I looooove it, thanks for sharing.
🥰🥰 you’re welcome Melissa! 🎈

Loved your video. So informative. Wish I would have seen it before we did our balloon feature.

Thank you for the tutorial ❤
Great tips, very helpful. Thank you 😊
Thank you! I’m glad 🥹😍

Thanks for this video! Are you putting them into the same side of the garland strip, or alternating front and back of it?
Hi Kaibeth! Either way, it doesn’t make a difference really. Whatever is easiest for you!

hi, my issue is that whenever I blow up my balloon, there is always a darker spot on the top of the balloon which I can't get rid of especially when I don't blow up my balloon all the way. Since it is in the middle of the balloon, it's very noticeable and I think it will make the garland look bad. Do you have any suggestions or ways to prevent it?
Hi Ashviny! I feel your pain! That unfortunately is present in a lot of lower quality balloons. 😞 I hardly ever see it in Qualatex or Tuftex, and if I do, I try double stuffing either with the same or a darker color to try to minimize its appearance. Check out video 5 of the Balloon Garland Basics Series on double stuffing for more info on how to do it 🙂 hope that helps!
XOXO,
Rach
Thank you so much for your help. I was intimidated until I watched your video!
I’m so glad to help you get started! Practice makes it so much easier, I promise! 💖

Love it the best video I've seen
Wow! Thank you so much!! 😍😍😍
XOXO,
Rach
I’m hoping that if I watch more tutorials I will suddenly be brave enough to attempt one of these for my kids.
LOL! I think once you try it you'll realize it's not as scary or as hard as you were afraid of...
Go for it! I hope you've tried it since this comment. I have no idea what I was doing. One day I just bought a kit from hobby lobby & an air pump & went to town
I've made 7 since then! Get better every time.
You are really a champ at this
Thank you for your great videos! I now finally have the confidence to make balloon decorations for my boy's birthday - I really didn't know where to start and now I have the confidence to go shopping for the balloons and a great idea for the room!!! He is going to love it!!!!
Awww this makes me so happy!! 😍😍😍

Great Tutorial,So easy to follow! Thanks for this video!💕Blessings to you and your business!
Thanks so much April!!! Back atcha!
XOXO,

Thank you for the tutorial! Do you have to worry about tearing of the backdrop material with the safety pins? I watched another one of your tutorials will hanging with safety work with the cluster connecting method using the necks of the balloons? Thanks again!
Hey Lillie! I haven't had an issue with the backdrop tearing, but if your garland is particularly heavy, you might want to add in more safety pins! You can also attach to the frame itself, or to something permanent (a railing, a nail in the wall, etc.). That method of hanging works with a garland of any technique : )
XOXO,
Rach
Thank you you helped me out a lot.
Love your videos.!
Why thank you Lumi! Great to hear from you! ✨
XOXO,
Rach
Thanks for sharing.God bless you
You make this look so easy
Do you have recommends about hanging a balloon garland without hooks? I am hosting a birthday party at a venue space and not sure if they all command hooks or tacks. Thanks! Great video
Thanks Anthony!! Definitely find out what is allowed and get a pic of the space first so you can plan your attachment points. If there is something permanent nearby that you can tie to, that’s always my first choice. A banister, a pole, if it’s a drop ceiling (standard commercial ceiling), you can tie fishing line through the tiles. If there is magnetic metal nearby, the clik clik magnets are amazing! 🧲
Command hooks are a second choice, but I have had problems with them.
If they don’t have anything to attach to and don’t allow you to use anything… might have to get the client to rent a backdrop.
Good luck!! 🍀
XOXO,
Rach
Hi do you recommend assembling it at the event spot or can i take it in my car to the event? Thank you!
Hi Desiree, that depends on how large it is and if setting up onsite is an option! I always feel “safer” setting up onsite but I have made a majority of my installs for clients ahead of time and then traveled with them, and done the finishing touches onsite once it’s been hung and installed. The only major risk is wind, dirt and possibly dog hair if you’re a dog mom 🙋🏼♀️
XOXO,
Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo where can I find the ballon shine
I made a wonderful balloon garland thanks to your video! However, even though the garland was indoors the balloons became cloudy especially noticeable on the clear confetti balloons. How do you combat this problem?
Hey there, I'm so glad you were able to make something awesome! I will try to give some tips on this in my confetti balloon video, but sadly those balloons aren't always very high quality and can be prone to fogging (especially if blown up by mouth or with warm air). I would make sure they're inflated with cool/room temperature air to try to keep that from happening.
XOXO,
Rach
This is so cool. I'm planning an event for my work/university and I really want a balloon garland, however, I didn't want to allocate too much money from the budget nor did I feel confident doing it the standard way. This is awesome! Definitely will try this. I think I can do that much!! Thanks a bunch!!
Oh this makes me so happy! Best of luck Victoria!
XOXO,

This gives me confidence 😂 🤞🏽
