Balloons & Garlands

What's included in the DIY Balloon Garland Kits

Our range of DIY balloon garland kits include everything you need to create your balloon garland – all balloons, decorating strip to hold it together, dual action pump to inflate and simple step by step instructions. Our kits also include glue dots to attach mini balloons at the end of the construction process.

How long will it take to build a Balloon Garland?

It will take approximately 1.5 hours to build a 3.5m regular length garland.  This process will be quicker if you have someone to help inflate and tie the balloons.

Mini Garland: allow 30-40 mins

Upsize Garland: allow 2 – 2.5 hours

Is helium required for the Balloon Garlands?

No helium is required for the construction of the balloon garlands.  They are air-filled using the pump included in your kit. 

Helium is required for the bunch kits and/or number balloons – anything that you want to ‘float’ will require helium.

Are the balloons made of plastic?

No. We source only high quality balloons made of 100% natural rubber latex and are 100% plastic-free. You can learn more about our environmental responsibility here.

When can I inflate my Balloon Garland?

As the balloons for your garland are air-filled they will last for days, even weeks. They are, of course, at their best for the first couple of days. It is perfectly fine to construct your garland a day or two before your event. Just keep it indoors (in a cool, dark place) prior to the day of your party.

What size are the garlands pictured on this website?

All garlands pictured on the website are regular (3.5m) size.

Do you have a video tutorial to assemble to Balloon Garland?

Yes, there is a video tutorial below in the how-to section which steps you through the simple steps to constructing your garland. There are also written instructions with pictures included in your DIY kit.

What are double-stuffed balloons?

Double-stuffed balloons are two balloons layered together to achieve unique colours and an opaque look. They are commonly used by event stylists and industry professionals in large balloon displays. Some of our DIY balloon garland kits contain some double-stuffed balloons.

What's the difference between a regular and double-stuffed balloon?

You can now choose between a regular single balloon to use throughout your garland for our classic look or upgrade to the luxe for a double-stuffed opaque and professional finish.

Regular balloons are a high quality, latex individual / single balloon.

Double-stuffed balloons are one individual balloon placed inside another - creating 2 layers and a matte, high-end finish.

How do I inflate double stuffed balloons?

They can be inflated the same way as regular balloons, using the pump provided in your kit. They can be a little trickier to tie but this can be achieved easier by stretching the neck of the balloon prior to tying.

How do I inflate orbs / balloon balls?

Orbs/balloon balls can also be inflated using the hand pump included in your kit.  Insert the pump into the tab and inflate the balloon slowly. Continue inflating slowly until a perfectly round shape is achieved. If you can still see wrinkles/seams in your ball is it not fully inflated so continue slowly until all seams are smoothed out. 

What's the difference between each size Balloon Garland?

We have 3 sizes available for our Balloon Garland Kits.

They come in our Mini 1.5m, Regular 3.5m (the most popular option) and the Upsize 5m.

Check out the image below for more information about what's included in each kit.
