Nice

[@Nitra813]

Great video. Thanks for sharing these tips. I didn’t know how to get the balloons to be smaller and more round looking but now I do 😅

[@gloriamensah8900]

Hi! This actually looks doable. I may try. Do you suggest we use regular paper for the template or card stock paper? Just thinking if it will make it easier.

[@julianabonifaciodiaz6408]

Bonito😃

[@brasuca90]

Hi what type of primer and pains to use in it

[@marytalens445]

hi there, kindly post link for the pattern, thanks so much

[@LFord1920]

I would love to do this. Having a hard time finding the size foam board. Does anyone know of who sells that size foam board.

[@21MichelleGarcia]

An art store could have more sizes in foam boards!

[@andreacline7141]

This is a great idea and fairly inexpensive too. I would like to try this with an 8x4 piece of foam board, maybe? Thanks for sharing

[@TheTiaraMakia]

That is what I use to mark mine!

[@EventAnswer]

Thanks for watching! If you make a bigger arch I would recommend hot gluing the scrap straight pieces to the back of the arch to support the board so it doesn't warp. Happy making!

[@taneveadavis4482]

Is ur vehicle(s) a van? If not when u do this for events how do u transport?

[@EventAnswer]

Nope, It is a small SUV (Ford Escape) with the back row of seats folded down. That is why none of my props are wider than 4 feet so I can get them through the hatch. Sometimes for large set-ups it takes more than one trip to get all the balloons on site, but it works pretty well. Occasionally there are days I wish I had a mini van with fold flat seats, but not enough to purchase one.

[@bindiberry6280]

Is foamboard expensive?

[@lovingme1011]

Can we do this with installation boards from Home Depot?

[@EventAnswer]

Yeah! You could use the 1/2" pink insulation boards. The process would be very similar. You may need to use a box cutter so the blade is long enough to cut through the board. Don't use spray paint on the insulation board as the paint will eat the foam. Use latex or acrylic paints instead.

[@bosslady9685]

How do you add weight for outdoor events?

[@EventAnswer]

For this project, I would tape the arch to a pair of balloon stands for more stability. Something like an Ikea lamp base would work great.

[@stanceworks7995]

Is foam board same as correx board?

[@jeronicacourtney837]

I bought the template but only received 28 pages

[@EventAnswer]

I'm sorry there was an issue with your download. I found your order and emailed you the files, please look for the message from [e-mail]

[@lovingme1011]

Hi. Please how tall is the board ?

[@EventAnswer]

The arch stands 5 feet tall.
