I have to make a balloon garland for my baby shower tomorrow and I’m definitely excited to try this method out! It was very detailed and hopefully easy enough for me to figure out 😂
I’ve been watching your videos and you make it so easy to understand and I swear I’m now a pro in my head 🤣 thank you so much for teaching us and making it simple . ❤
Thank you so much !! I have recently have done ballon garlands for family parties and just got contacted to do one for a family friend I said but I’m nervous because I have always struggled on how to hang them well . But the fishing like parts that u added at the end made it so easy for me ! Thanks !
A friend made 2 garlands for simple parties at work this week. I never thought balloon garlands were simple to make. Now I'm obsessed. I've watched over 10 of your videos in the last 24 hours. Lol. I just need to do some more research on which items to buy. Are you selling the kits that you mentioned in one of your videos? Or do you ever link to products? Keep up the great work! I love your detail and how you show different methods, etc. Thank you!
😍😍😍😍 that’s so awesome! Glad to have you here, thanks for watching + commenting! I do try to link a lot of the products I use in each video, and I also have videos on selecting kits on Amazon and buying professional grade balloons. I do not currently have kits for sale but I hope to offer them before too long! XOXO, Rach
Hello and thank you 😊. I've been watching all of your videos. Everything is very informative. Thanks for being so helpful. I tried my first balloon creation yesterday and let's just say lots of practice will be needed. I kept hearing you say just keep practicing. It's actually a lot harder than I thought. Again, thanks.
Hello and thanks for sharing that! I know what you mean! It definitely gets easier as you go. Practice was definitely a huge factor for me! 😅 Was there anything you had the most trouble with that you’d like to see a video on? XOXO, Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo Hi Rachel, thank you so much. There wasn't one thing in particular that I could say overall. It was very new and looks a bit easier when one is watching someone else. For instance, even the balloons felt a lot different as I was working with them than I anticipated though I have touched balloons at least a few 💯 x over the past 40 years. If that makes sense. Everything you have done ✅ thus far has just been awesome 😎.
I love your videos~ they are very informative! it helped me so much for my son's DIY birthday party! The 260s method is kind of hard for me, but this string/fishing line method is so much easier to do..
Hi Kristina, thanks so much for the kind words 💖I am so glad the videos have been helpful and I hope your son had a very happy birthday! Glad you're finding your own style and techniques with it, and welcome to the bubbly community ✨ XOXO, Rach
What clips did you use at the end to hang your garland? I am using a free standing back drop stand and am at a loss at how to get the garland to stay in place.
I just subscribed to your channel and I love your step by step could you show us how you did the clear balloons that hang like pearls in a line I love this whole look
This is amazing! Glad i found this video. Its so fun doing this and im learning to make a ballooon garland for my baby's 1st birthday. How do you suggest hanging the garland on an arch stand?
Hey Pat! You can see my favorite brands and where I buy them in this video: ruclips.net/video/8Bq5Nygv8q0/видео.html And if you decide to go with a kit from Amazon, here's my advice on picking a decent kit: ruclips.net/video/k84Vlc1GsNM/видео.html XOXO, Rach
Hi Yvette! It's totally a matter of personal preference! I recommend the strips for first timers who are a little shy of using 260s or fishing line, but personally 260s are my favorite, but there are times and environments that I will opt for fishing line! XOXO, Rach
I'm not familiar with balloon string to be honest, but ribbon or just about anything can be used, like in this video: ruclips.net/video/tTPAa6SrKCM/видео.html XOXO, Rach
How many balloons do you think you used for that 8 ft length garland? It seems like fishing line used more balloons that the balloon strips with the hole that you pull the knot through? 🎈
Hey Sofia! 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
hi Rachel! Thanks for doing all these tutorial videos! Just wondering, for logistics point of view, if we have to bring a pre-made garland to a venue, is it possible to make 2 or more shorter length garlands, then combine them into 1 long length during assembly on site?
You're so welcome! And 100% - I absolutely do that when needed. Bring it in sections or chunks and assemble it onsite to bring it all together. Highly recommend! XOXO, Rach
Probably! But I’m not sure I could codify it into a short answer. I would say with practice you’ll find a method that works for you and that you prefer, and that will work in most cases. Occasionally you might have a job that requires a different method. I’ll try to think on this and see if I can do a video on it. XOXO, Rach
I have a balloon hoop for my baby shower, would it be better for me to use the strips, or fishing line to attach the garland to the hoop? I bought cable ties to attach it, but I don’t know if that’s right 😂 xx
@@BubblyBalloonCo Thank you so much for your reply! I’ll grab some fishing wire then! I’m absolutely terrified of balloons, but I desperately wanted a nice backdrop for pictures! Xx
LOL! So relatable Shanae! I wrap the necks and then tie them together just with one knot - I only double knot the necks in very rare circumstances, once is usually good! It's much easier on the fingers to do them in pairs, IMO, best of luck to you! ✨ XOXO, Rach
Hi Rosie, 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! A week or two might be pushing it, but see how your test balloons age! XOXO, Rach
Someone told me if i tie the fishing line to a chair as an anchor and slide the quads up that way and weave to make the garland it will be easier for me did you ever do it this way?
I loved the idea, it was very beautiful hehe, the truth is that I love the aquatic theme 🐬🐬🐬, only I have not been able to decorate with this theme, the truth is I love everything you upload, and the charisma with which you do them🤩🤗😻 , I really want you to upload a tutorial of the decorated bubble balloon💭🤩, but with helium, since it is quite difficult for me to make them hehe 😅😆, in advance very grateful, greetings 💙🤍💙😎
Thank you so much Henry! I don't currently work with helium, but if that changes, I will keep your feedback in mind! 💙💙💙 Do let me know if there's an aspect of (air-filled) bubble balloons or vinyl or something you'd like to know more on! XOXO, Rach
Please can you do a video on where to get balloons worldwide i am in Nigeria and getting quality balloons like tuftex and the likes i dont know where to get them from. Thank you
Hi Benedicta! That's awesome! Until I have a video on where I buy from, I believe Bargain Balloons ships to Nigeria, and I use them a lot! bargainballoons.com Best of luck! XOXO, Rach
Thank you! And that’s understandable but it’s really not bad once you get familiar with it! Not to jinx it or anything, but I don’t think I’ve cut myself with fishing line yet 😅🤞🏻 XOXO, Rach
Hey Laila! Just the garland took about 45 minutes or so. There are faster methods (check out my video on the fastest garland ever for proof 😜). But the whole look took several hours, there was a lot of detail I added onto the garland. XOXO, Rach
I feel you! I started with cheap kits off Amazon and as I got better and could put more into it, I leveled up 🙌🏻 best of luck girl! Welcome to the bubbly community! XOXO, Rach
Hi Deniyah! I buy from a lot of places to be honest! I probably buy most often from bargainballoons.com but there's also PS Helium, Havin a Party, All American Balloons & many others! XOXO, Rach
About how big is a 12” balloon once you inflate it? I can’t figure out how much to inflate them!! Thank you so much for these videos. I’m going to try a 70th birthday one for a friend!
I’m impressed how much you were able to use that one piece of fishing line throughout 🥰
I love the way you detailed the process. Thank you for sharing. I love the way it turned out to
Thanks Stacey! 😍🤩😍
XOXO,
Rach
I have to make a balloon garland for my baby shower tomorrow and I’m definitely excited to try this method out! It was very detailed and hopefully easy enough for me to figure out 😂

XOXO,
Rach
I found you about 1 hr ago 😊 thank you for explaining everything so detailed for beginners. I love your videos.
This was so easy... I used the garland strips and it’s harder to do!! Thanks for this video!!! 😊😊
Yessss I totally agree! Wish I had tried this before starting with strips, it is so much easier!
XOXO,

Did you add the huge ones also using fishing line to weave in?
What brand of balloons are best to use? Are the ones off Amazon any good?

Do you don’t tie the balloons in knots just twisting the necks and pulling ?
I tie them together in pairs, by the necks : )
XOXO,

is fishing line better then those strips ? or the 260 method
Hi Yvette! It's totally a matter of personal preference! I recommend the strips for first timers who are a little shy of using 260s or fishing line, but personally 260s are my favorite, but there are times and environments that I will opt for fishing line!

What did you hang it on against the wall?
Hey Alejandra! I hung it on a backdrop stand/frame (linked in the video description).
XOXO,
Rach
How many balloons do you think you used for that 8 ft length garland? It seems like fishing line used more balloons that the balloon strips with the hole that you pull the knot through? 🎈
Good observation! Yeah they are definitely fuller this way, I would say this was about 60 balloons or so?
XOXO,
Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo thanks for your reply. I have about 60 Christmas balloons that I was going to decorate a bedroom with. 🎈
Oh how fun! You should be able to get a 6-8 footer out of those 🙂
What did you use to hang it ?
Hi Rashanna, I usually use either fishing line or 260s (the long thin stretchy balloons) to hang it to the backdrop or something permanent.
XOXO,
Rach
How did u hang your garland on the wall.. what are those hooks called ?
Hey Ayesha! It was done with command hooks, and I have a video on it here if you'd like: ruclips.net/video/SGU6PnZfUCw/видео.html
XOXO,
Rach
Thanks.. but what abt textured walls.. i have those
Where can I buy the balloon orbs? And the garland clips?
This is awesome work!! How soon before event should the garland b made?
Hey Sofia! 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!

I am still afraid to use fishing line, HOWEVER I love the other way you showed us, in the balloon garland series, it’s so much easier and faster!
Thank you! I’m glad you like it, that’s my favorite too! 🥳
XOXO,
Rach
You didnt show what you used to hang the balloon garland. Did you use hooks and wrap the fishing line around the hooks? Thanks
Would you say that certain circumstances call for certain methods? If so, how do you decide what method to use for each project?
Probably! But I’m not sure I could codify it into a short answer. I would say with practice you’ll find a method that works for you and that you prefer, and that will work in most cases.

Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo Thank you so much for your reply! I’ll grab some fishing wire then! I’m absolutely terrified of balloons, but I desperately wanted a nice backdrop for pictures! Xx
😂 I totally understand! Using a thicker fishing line will keep your balloons safer from popping 😝
Do you tie them once to make a pair? Cause I gotta do it twice and that shit hurts my fingers
