I genuinely don't remember the last time I ever commented on a youtube video, but girl that smile you've when you're explaining stuff😍 and of course the amount of actual practical information you're giving in simple terms 👏🏼, keep it going, hope your business and yt channel grows tremendously.
Ahhhhh Adriana thank you so much for taking the time to comment! Your kind words mean the world to me! Thank you so much! Very happy I am getting to make my dreams come true here 💖 XOXO, Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo I had the exact same thought! You have such a sweet, electric energy about you✨ Also I love your hair! Anyway thank you for sharing this video; I would have never thought of hanging a balloon garland like this. So helpful🙌🏼
Search for balloon garland and you were one of the first that popped up. I love how you describe everything in detail, and show the close ups of the ties. You are also beautiful that just adds some extra sauce to the video 😂. Thanks for your help!
Hi Thank you so much for all your videos, been following the series, they are so well explained, I am a beginner and haven't seen an instructor that explains so well like you. Thank you and God Bless You
Oh there’s huffing, puffing, sweating and swearing, but ya know, all that goes into creating something beautiful and fun 😝😆 I feel you though!! XOXO, Rach
Hey Al, YT showed me you left another comment on another video but it disappeared on me before I could read/respond. I think YT doesn’t like links. Feel free to try again, I’d like to know what you said, I think you shared your company? ☺️ XOXO, Rach
Great personality and super helpful video. I have watched several videos on how to hang a balloon garland and never have I seen someone mention a 260 nor had I ever heard of it🙏🏽 truly lifesaver type information lol. Thank you so much. I’ll be subscribing. ♥️
Oh that’s so awesome Bri! Thank you! I couldn’t live without 260s, and this is a method my husband and I developed (though I’m sure other artists do it too, I’ve just never heard of it before lol). Hope you love it! XOXO, Rach
Hey Rachel thank you so much for this tutorial. I panicked when I didn't receive the strip in my pack and wasn't sure how to use the ribbon. But thanks to your video I am much more confident. Thankyou for making it simple and easy to follow..
I love your channel! It's so helpful! I just bought a backdrop stand and made my first balloon garland. I've learned so much with your tutorial. I can't wait for my next party!
You are absolutely amazing. Explain very well and perfect for beginners! Thank you so much. My daughter is turning 1 and will be making balloon arch and your tips will certainly help and I am confident that it will look amazing! Thank you so so so much!
Oh my gosh Priya thanks so much for the kind words! Congrats & happy first birthday to your daughter! So glad I could be of help, you're most welcome : ) XOXO, Rach
Agree. Even though you talk at the speed of light, you enunciate well so I can understand 😉. You’re an excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge so generously.
Thank you 😊 the tutorial very clear and helpful. Your technique looks so simple and easy to do and I hope we can do it. By the way We will try your step by step techniques @ the end of next month. Thank you again for these tutorial videos, appreciated them. 🙏 😘
Hi Rachel, your tutorials have helped me gain so much confidence in building arches and garlands! I have an upcoming event where I would like to hang a garland over a 10'x8' freestanding banner frame. The issue is that the horizontal bar of the frame won't be accessible because it will be fed through the pocket of the banner. Other than anchoring the bases of the frame with heavy weights, how would you secure the garland? Can I use large spring clamps for the horizontal bar and attach the garland to them using 260's?
Hi Kim! Oh that’s awesome, thank you for watching and sharing the kind words! Yes that’s exactly what I would do, that’s what I do when I use backdrops. I think I even have the clamps I use linked in most video descriptions, but yeah just about any secure clamp should do it! Best of luck to you, I bet you’re going to do great! 🫶🏻 XOXO, Rach
You are amazing with your instructions, thanks!! My question for you is what do you do if there is no window to go around?? I’m giving my friend a baby shower and have noticed in the restaurant there is no window, I am right on the corner of the room?? What would you do?
Hey Nikki! I always recommend testing them out ahead of time by inflating a few of the ones you'll be using as soon as possible to see how they age so you're certain they're going to look good on the day of! XOXO, Rach
@BubblyBalloonCo Hi. I've been watching your videos for quite some time, and have learned from them. Thanks for sharing. My question is regarding adhesive on walls. Command hooks do not stay on flat paint [new home developments]. Do you have a recommendation for an adhesive for flat paint?
Thanks Janet! Totally depends on the balloons you're using and your environment. Sometimes they still look like new after a few days, and sometimes it needs to be the day of. I recommend testing with the exact balloons you'll be using ahead of time to see how they age for you. XOXO, Rach
Hi Emily! 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
We gonna have a new year party and I am the one who's in charge for decorating and ur video was amazing 🤩 🙌 question how to remove safely the command hooks? Thanks in advance happy New Year to you and ur family sending you lots of love from Dubai
Hi Robert!! Such a good question! I actually published a video on that last month, it’s on my channel page! You’ll see how easy it is 😍 lots of love to you and yours in Dubai, you’re gonna do great!! Happy New Year!!! XOXO, Rach
i love your videos! Im just starting out.. Where do u recommend buying balloons besides amazon if anywhere? Also whats the earliest in advance you’d recommend hanging a garland?
Hey Lauren, check this video out for my fave brands and where I buy, I also have another video on buying from Amazon or Etsy if you choose to do that. th-cam.com/video/8Bq5Nygv8q0/w-d-xo.html and how early to hang depends on how your garland is going to age, I always recommend testing by inflating a bunch asap and see if they still look good after a couple days or if it needs to be same day or what. Hope that helps! XOXO, Rach
Hello love your videos the are very helpful for us beginners. I have to do my grandaughters first birthday balloons because she lives in Alaska no party decorators there. So im practicing first. So I tried the cluster but it doesn’t look as pretty as yours. I think my first mistake was balloons too big.how many inches do you recommend the balloons to be?
Hi Pamela! It definitely takes some practice to get used to it all! I would use 11 inch balloons or a mix of 11 & 17 inch balloons for the cluster and inflate them to different sizes - on the 11s I usually go for a mix between 7 & 10 or so, and round! Roundness is key to a pretty cluster! I hope that helps. And I love Alaska! Wish I could come do them for you guys! 🤩🤩 happy 1st birthday!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 XOXO, Rach
Also, If using command hooks on a set up/ someone else’s house, you could put painters tape (blue) and put the command hook on top and no damage to the wall
Of course! Definitely try it and see how it goes! I’ve had it fall on me at least twice - one on silky wallpaper and another on a wall I assume was covered in grease (it was near a kitchen). Perhaps on a “normal” wall this will never happen! Best of luck!
Ughhhhh same tbh. Maybe look for a special kind of command hook? But if the client doesn’t have somewhere feasible to attach, I recommend they rent a backdrop. 😬
So have my daughters baby shower and I ordered kits...so many shades of each color! Don't want to spend more 🤑will it look alright if I have 5 shades of each color? Am doing balloon stands, a giant ring, a strip, and a free standing garland. Didn't do balloons for her graduation party so trying to make up for it with this🤣
Btw am using almost all of your videos to accomplish this balloon bonanza! Very informative videos! P.S.Thank you for being perky but not overboard perky😂 a joy to watch
Awww yay! That’s gonna be so gorgeous! So you’re doing five sizes in each color!? That’s plenty if so. That sounds amazing! Wishing you best of luck! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 XOXO, Rach
5 different shades of peach, 3 different shades of sage green. It looks like there are 2 shades of white and 3 shades of gold. 2 shades of dusty pink and 2 shades of pearl-ish rose gold🤦♀️I know I have 5", 9", 12" and 18" and there might be more🙄. But no bigger ones. Thanks to your videos though I can make them every size under 18" my heart desires😘 I'll try to get pictures to post here
Oof! Been there. 1) the books I use only take an hour to cure so that’s not so bad, 2) how heavy is your garland? If it’s a light/small one I would hope it wouldn’t be a problem, but you could maybe use extra hooks? 3) look for other ways to attach. A ceiling you can hang from, nails in the wall, physical things that are there that you can attach to, that’s always my first choice because command hooks aren’t perfect, but I’ve never had a problem with attaching to something permanent. Best of luck to you! XOXO, Rach
Hey there! You can of course tie the ends together if you want, but what I do is just wrap the loose end in there a ton to keep it wrapped in tight! It hasn't failed me yet! XOXO, Rach
Thank you! These are the .5 lb hooks - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KYOGJG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I usually use the 2-3 lb hooks though - www.target.com/p/command-6-hooks-12-strips-medium-sized-utility-hooks-value-pack-white/-/A-14887336#lnk=sametab They do make command hooks that are meant for the outdoors, but it depends what you're attaching to! It's good for a smooth building, like metal or siding, but it's not good for concrete/cement, etc. They also make exterior ones for windows. Same rules as usual - follow the package instructions but make sure you cure it for an hour before hanging! Best of luck! XOXO, Rach
Hi Nia! Yes, believe it or not! I wrap it many times through many balloons to make sure it's secure (and I usually go overboard to be safe). Or you could do the opposite, tie the one end to the garland and tie the other end to the command hook, but I've never had a problem with the first method (aside from a surface where the command hook won't stick, ugh!) 😜 XOXO, Rach
Hi! Usually you're safe to do a garland a couple days in advance as long as you're using professional grade balloons, but I always recommend testing the balloons you're going to be using by inflating a few as soon as possible to see how they age over the coming days so you're sure! XOXO, Rach
Hi Angela! Check out this video here to see how to make a garland like this in about 15 minutes: th-cam.com/video/HT_DaiPH4WU/w-d-xo.html It might take some practice, but you can get pretty quick at it! If it's your first time, I'd allow a couple of hours, at least : ) XOXO, Rach
Hey there! No, for outdoors I would recommend tying them down to something permanent - a railing, etc. - or a backdrop, with either fishing line or 260s, something like that. XOXO, Rach
You can use command hooks to make a balloon wall, yes. It will take a lot of them, and I would recommend 3 lb or higher. Good luck! XOXO, Rach PS I do have a balloon wall video coming out this summer, hope that helps too!
Hey! I find that hanging on something permanent is always the best option, but if nothing exists I can secure it to, command hooks will do in a pinch. They make indoor and outdoor ones so just choose the right one for the surface you’re using and follow the tips on the box to make sure it sticks! XOXO, Rach
I always recommend attaching to something permanent, Command hooks are only my backup if nothing else is available. Nails, screws, railings, bannisters are all preferable to Command hooks imo! XOXO, Rach
Hi Vicky!! I cover a couple different methods in some other videos - you can tie it to the backdrop stand itself, you can put command hooks on the wall behind the stand, you can attach the garland to the backdrop clips on the stand, or even put safety pins in the cloth backdrop and attach to those. I prefer the more permanent methods myself! XOXO, Rach
Thank you Rachel. I ❤️your videos and your kind great descriptions of how to make balloon decor. I think I am becoming addicted to balloon art Bcuz of you. It is so much fun and creative. U R wonderful balloon artist! Thx for info
Hi Dorrida! Qualatex, Sempertex, Decomex, etc. all make 260s, and they are available from pretty much all the balloon suppliers. I often use PS Helium, Bargain Balloons, All American Balloons, and a few others. Good luck! XOXO, Rach

Hi do you tie the 260s in a knot after attaching the balloons to the command hooks and putting it around the balloons
Hey Fran! Personally, I don't, I just wrap it a lot, but you absolutely could if you wanted to!
XOXO,
Rach
You are a life saver! How soon in advance can these be hung and last? is this something that has to be done the day of or can it be done days ahead???

This video is soo helpful. But I’d be scared that as I’m wrapping the balloons start to pop. Does that ever happen?
Great tip!! What do you use for brick walls? I've tried command hooks but they kept falling off.
Also, If using command hooks on a set up/ someone else’s house, you could put painters tape (blue) and put the command hook on top and no damage to the wall
Yes!!! I have had that fall down on me before though so I’m always cautious 😅😅😂

Ughhhhh same tbh. Maybe look for a special kind of command hook? But if the client doesn’t have somewhere feasible to attach, I recommend they rent a backdrop. 😬
What’s the other thing called that you used to hang them up besides the command hooks? The stretchy thing you tied it with.
That’s a 260 balloon! You can use fishing line or string or ribbon, but I find 260s the easiest to work with!

LOL! Very possibly! The first time I read the back of the box I was shocked! 😄
Where can the 260’s be purchased? Please provide link. Thank you
Question how would you mount to metal? Or glass?
Hi, so you just keep wrapping the 260's to the arch? I thought the two sides of the 260 still needs to meet to be secured:)
Hey there! You can of course tie the ends together if you want, but what I do is just wrap the loose end in there a ton to keep it wrapped in tight! It hasn't failed me yet!
XOXO,
Rach
So you don't need to tie the 260? Will just wrapping it around will keep it in place?
That’s what I do! But no harm in tying it if you feel more secure with it that way! I wrap it a LOT so it’s really stuck lol
XOXO,

They do make command hooks that are meant for the outdoors, but it depends what you're attaching to! It's good for a smooth building, like metal or siding, but it's not good for concrete/cement, etc. They also make exterior ones for windows. Same rules as usual - follow the package instructions but make sure you cure it for an hour before hanging!
Best of luck!

So after you wrapped the 260 around the balloons .. you just let the 260 go and it stayed in place? You don’t have to tie it to anything?
Hi Nia! Yes, believe it or not! I wrap it many times through many balloons to make sure it's secure (and I usually go overboard to be safe). Or you could do the opposite, tie the one end to the garland and tie the other end to the command hook, but I've never had a problem with the first method (aside from a surface where the command hook won't stick, ugh!) 😜
XOXO,

How long do these balloon garlands last? Can I make it two days before a party? Can I transport in a cool car?
Do you think that using heat would make it secure stronger/ faster
I haven’t tried that, I’m really not sure. If you do, let me know!
Does a damage the paint wall?
So you don’t need to tie the end of the attachment point?
I tie the 260 to the attachment point, but then I just wrap it throughout the garland. You can tie it off if you prefer!
XOXO,
Rach
How long does the garland last for? Can you do it a few days prior or no?
Hi! Usually you're safe to do a garland a couple days in advance as long as you're using professional grade balloons, but I always recommend testing the balloons you're going to be using by inflating a few as soon as possible to see how they age over the coming days so you're sure!
XOXO,
Rach
Approximately how long does it take to complete a garland like this?
Hi Angela! Check out this video here to see how to make a garland like this in about 15 minutes: th-cam.com/video/HT_DaiPH4WU/w-d-xo.html It might take some practice, but you can get pretty quick at it! If it's your first time, I'd allow a couple of hours, at least : )
XOXO,

How big is that arch?
Is this secure to do outside and the balloons not fly away
Hey there! No, for outdoors I would recommend tying them down to something permanent - a railing, etc. - or a backdrop, with either fishing line or 260s, something like that.
XOXO,
Rach
Instead of those balloons, would a ribbon work?
Yep! I have a separate video on that but yes, same concept! Just tie it in and you’re set!
XOXO,
Rach
Hey can you use those on Balloon wall
You can use command hooks to make a balloon wall, yes. It will take a lot of them, and I would recommend 3 lb or higher. Good luck!
XOXO,
Rach
PS
I do have a balloon wall video coming out this summer, hope that helps too!
@@BubblyBalloonCo okay thanks 🙂
Can you tell me what inflator you recommend?
Yes! It’s actually linked in the video description, let me know if you can’t find it. It’s a cheap one but it’s done well for me!
XOXO,
Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo oh fantastic!! im going to try my best to do this for my daughter's baby shower! wish me luck!
You don’t know the 260 when you’ve wrapped it? You just wrap it around a bunch of balloons and quit? Or did a I miss that?
I just wrap it a bunch, but you can tie it if you want 🙃
XOXO,
Rach
Where do you purchase your balloons?
Hey Tina! I cover that in this video, hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/8Bq5Nygv8q0/w-d-xo.html

What’s the best way to hang a balloon on a wall or outside
Hey! I find that hanging on something permanent is always the best option, but if nothing exists I can secure it to, command hooks will do in a pinch. They make indoor and outdoor ones so just choose the right one for the surface you’re using and follow the tips on the box to make sure it sticks!
XOXO,
Rach
❤🎈🎈
do the hooks work for the outside?
Hi Migi, they make outdoor command hooks, just make sure you get the right ones for your surface 🙂
XOXO,
Rach
What if you can't use command hooks?
I always recommend attaching to something permanent, Command hooks are only my backup if nothing else is available. Nails, screws, railings, bannisters are all preferable to Command hooks imo!
XOXO,
Rach
How do you hang the balloons on a backdrop?
Hi Vicky!! I cover a couple different methods in some other videos - you can tie it to the backdrop stand itself, you can put command hooks on the wall behind the stand, you can attach the garland to the backdrop clips on the stand, or even put safety pins in the cloth backdrop and attach to those. I prefer the more permanent methods myself!
XOXO,
Rach
260s are balloons?
Yes! The long thin stretchy ones!
XOXO,
Rach
Where do I get 260’s
I buy them wherever I get my balloons - they're available at any party store/supplier as well as Amazon.
XOXO,
Rach
Thank you Rachel. I ❤️your videos and your kind great descriptions of how to make balloon decor. I think I am becoming addicted to balloon art Bcuz of you. It is so much fun and creative. U R wonderful balloon artist! Thx for info
Who sales 260
Hi Dorrida! Qualatex, Sempertex, Decomex, etc. all make 260s, and they are available from pretty much all the balloon suppliers. I often use PS Helium, Bargain Balloons, All American Balloons, and a few others. Good luck!
XOXO,
Rach
