I made some columns similar to these for a graduation a few weeks ago and my top balloon was going all over the place. I used the same technic you did to tie it on to my column and it just wasn't staying put. I don't know what I did wrong. 😞 Thank you for sharing this video. I thought I had watched all your videos...I guess I missed this one. 🙂
yes, it does get warm, but not like in other places. It rarely breaks 100. For outdoors you always want to underinflate. I believe that the Tuf-Tex brand is known for doing well outside in weather though. But having said that, I rarely use them because my clients are often last minute and I have to get what I can locally . :~)
Love your video & you did amazing staying calm with all that wind!! What brand of balloons/pump do you use? How many 260’s did you use for each column-was it more than the 2 you originally tied together?
You’re awesome !! Thanks for doing this video !! I’ve been looking at A LOT of balloon columns videos and they are all for indoors when I leave a comment asking how to use them outside all I get is a “sorry indoor only” 😩
Well hello Md. Sandy, thank you as always for the tips! My question is do you like the organic arches better than the original ways where are all the balloons of the same size? Just curious.
I think that both have their uses. It really depends on the style and the lines that make the most sense for the needs of the event. I will say that classic decor (all balloons same size) is faster and more profitable ;~)
What balloons do you use to maintain the boldness of the color when inflated? I have see demonstrations where you can double with a white or black balloon but hoping this isn't always necessary.
These are not double stuffed. I don't double stuff my balloons unless it's a really special reason, and then it doubles the time and the cost. In this video I'm using Qualatex Orange and Robin's Egg Blue balloons :~)
Hi Sandi, I'm curious to know if you leave the stands you make to your clients? I find myself having to go back to the venues after event to pick up my stands. :) appreciate your advice in advance
We always strike our own jobs (and charge for it). We don't want to leave a mess for the venue and want to make sure everything is properly disposed of :~)
There are so many different type of Carriage bolts. Which one should I get? I am going to attempt couple columns for my 5th grade graduation event at school next week. If I can pull this off then I'll go for the arch!
In my experience, the only solution for keeping the balloon’s luster fresh is spraying it with a coat of hairspray. However, many folks are more overtly environmentally conscious these days and may take offense to such flagrant use of aerosols. I try to build my arches and columns as close to the event as possible when balloons are freshest, but elemental exposure- induced chromatic dulling is unavoidable. Often times, many observers didn’t see the balloons beforehand so a faded balloons aesthetic is not perceived as an automatically stark contrast. Of course, Sandy will likely jump in and correct me, and then i’ll learn something, haha.
nope, you're spot on. I don't bother with trying to keep them shiny as it will just cause other problems, and as long as everything is equally oxidized, no one will notice anything different and just take it at face value :~)
Yes basically. You might want to tether the poles to the float instead of using the baseplates but test it to see what's most stable for a moving vehicle :~)
So glad to see you back and thanks, as always for your great tutorials and help! I am just missing your little doolibopper fascinator!!!!! You're slacking, Miss Sandi! hahahahahahaha
Hi Sandy! I've been watching your videos for a while now and I love all your balloon creations! My question for you is: at what temperatures can helium and air filled balloons with stand? I live in San Antonio TX and it's very humid and temps can go over 105° in the summer and as low as 30° in the winter. I'm planning an August 80th 50s bday party for my grandmother and she would really love balloons outside but I'm a little leary of placing any balloons outside. Can you please help?
I live in San Diego, so I can't say I know much about extreme weather, but best practices for heat is to avoid dark colors and make sure you severely underinflate the balloons :~)
One more question 😃 have you ever made round lollipop 🍭 columns? If so can you please comment where I can find the link? If not, I would really love to see you make one! Thanks for your awesomeness and time to show us your creativity.
Take the weights off of them, put your hand between the balloons to grab the pole, pick it up and carry it. It's not heavy but a little awkward. Then place the weights back on the base plates. This is exactly why I don't put the weights in the center of the column over the pole, because then they are too heavy to easily move :~)
I use mostly Qualatex. Unfortunately, there's not a great way to prevent oxidation when outside. There is a cream that you can put on it to keep it shiny for indoors (balloon glow), but I'm not sure how well it works outside.
These colors don't really show the oxidization as much as other colors do, but I don't stop them from oxidizing. As long as all the balloons oxidize at the same rate, no one will really notice. So I just explain to clients that over time the balloons will take on a velvety patina :~)
hmmm... try your junk mail, or a different email. The automated system may be blocked by your email provider. If that doesn't work, send me an email :~)
How do you make sure all your balloons of the same size because I bought the machine with the number count and the Box and mine still don't come out the same size
I make them from materials available from Home Depot :~) A 2x2' piece of plywood, a flange, a threaded pipe, and a piece of emt. Look at my beginning balloon professional playlist for more framing techniques
@@gabriellaanne5419 look for a video on the Brazilian EZ method, I think that's what you're looking for. The video might be in Portuguese, but you should be able to figure it out pretty easily :~)
i’m having trouble with outdoor decor, been in the business for a long time. & our columns fell today i’m so disappointed & feel like i failed i live in south texas by the water so it’s windy 365 days out the year i’m close to just giving up outside decor
Hey Sandi how are you I am good it was my birthday on the 12 of March and my cordernater got me balloon and when we got the home they had stadick in them so can you please let me know ho w I can get balloon home so I no for my next birthday
Congratulations for all your balloon designs! You’re awesome 👏🏻 You made it look easier, but I tried to do some for my church and unfortunately the balloons discolored and became small because of the sun☀️ 😔I really was embarrassed So, please give me some advice so, I could do it better next time🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
no, they never have. Most people don't ever notice that - it's a foreground/ background issue I think. The eye sees where there is color and movement ;-)

Hands down the best video! I've came across. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best teachers I’ve seen thus far
Hey! I thought you were retired! I guess you're just missing the smell of latex! Good to see you again!
It's a slow process... I have clients who won't let me go, and footage that never came out ;-)
You are so cute fighting the wind. lol Entertaining and so helpful
I love this and ive BEEN looking for a outdoor balloon tutorial! Thank you!!!!
Thank you! :~)
Great video. Is it warm their as well as windy? What balloons would you recommend in warm temperatures.😊
yes, it does get warm, but not like in other places. It rarely breaks 100. For outdoors you always want to underinflate. I believe that the Tuf-Tex brand is known for doing well outside in weather though. But having said that, I rarely use them because my clients are often last minute and I have to get what I can locally . :~)
Love it. Can you share what brand balloons you use?
I mostly use Qualatex balloons because that's what I can get locally. Betallic is also a very good brand though :~)
Sandi Masori Thank you..
Hi do you recommend balloon shine on outdoor arches especially under direct sun ?
Love the video. Can you make different style balloon arches
Love your video & you did amazing staying calm with all that wind!! What brand of balloons/pump do you use? How many 260’s did you use for each column-was it more than the 2 you originally tied together?
only 2 260s for each column to hold it together. These are Qualatex balloons, underinflated. :-)
Love it and love your spirit ❤️
I really enjoy your videos!
Thanks! :~)
you are awesome for sharing this! God bless you and your team!
Thank you! :~)
Me encanto , te quedo genial 👍gracias por enseñarnos como hacerlo, saludos
Gracias :~)
Hellooooo, is it safe to assume the emt is 10 feet tall?
Thank you, every video is so helpful
You’re awesome !! Thanks for doing this video !! I’ve been looking at A LOT of balloon columns videos and they are all for indoors when I leave a comment asking how to use them outside all I get is a “sorry indoor only” 😩
I'm glad that you found it useful :~)
Thanks for using my school colors. And also the local college and several of the area high school colors.
I was thinking of you when I got the order ;-)
Just in time for next weekend's event!!
Yay!!! Glad it was useful :~)
Great video thank you! Where did you get your colons/pillars?
Informative video. I’m gonna give it a try
Hi Sandi, loved this, thanks ☺️ Can I ask why you size these balloons to 9.5inch but the ones for outdoor arch to 8 inch?
Great tips! Thank you!
Thanks! :~)
Wonderful job🥰
Thanks for sharing I just found your channel.
Did you use only 2 260”s for the whole column when you tied them together?
I wondered this as well
Yes, 2 260s are more than enough. You will probably have 2/3 of one of them hanging off at the end :~)
Great tips!!! And love your energy!!!
Awwww thank you!!!
Do you have the link on how to make the base stand?
Balloonify! Love it! Your so Rock!
Awww thanks!! :~)
Love this, very informative!
Thanks so much for the helpful tips!

This was really good and helpful!!!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :~)
Thanks, great video! How did you attach the weights to the base plate?
They're not attached. I slid them between the balloons and the baseplate after the balloons were on the stand :~)
Thanks!
Do you have to use Tuff balloons or can you just use the regular balloons
Those are Qualatex balloons. Just make sure to keep them good and squishy :~)
What balloons do you use to maintain the boldness of the color when inflated? I have see demonstrations where you can double with a white or black balloon but hoping this isn't always necessary.

Sure, here you go... th-cam.com/video/hQL5lJegmHc/w-d-xo.html :~)

OMG I need these stands, where did you get them?
Beautiful! How do you price and promote your balloon biz?
How tall is the column and what's the price for one of those
This was great- Looking to make some of the huge yard numbers! Any tips?
Look into David Mahoney's stuff. He's really the one who made that into a thing :-)
Sandi Masori Presents thank you Sandi
Hi. Is it ok to use fishing wire instead of the way you do!
Great video can you show how to make or give suggestions on how to make a question mark balloon column for a gender reveal
I'll add it to the list, but I'm not sure when I'll be shooting in studio again :~)
Do you have a video on how to make number frames? I would like to see how you make a 2019 for graduation decor.
I might do one, but it wouldn't be in time for graduation this year. I'm mostly using columns with numbers on them.
How would I set up a balloon arch on a homecoming float? would I use the same methods?
Yes basically. You might want to tether the poles to the float instead
of using the baseplates but test it to see what's most stable for a
moving vehicle :~)
So glad to see you back and thanks, as always for your great tutorials and help! I am just missing your little doolibopper fascinator!!!!! You're slacking, Miss Sandi! hahahahahahaha

@@SandiMasoriPresents how much did you charge them
That is so awesome
Thanks! :~)
good job
Thanks! :~)
Love It!!!
Hi lovely sandy
How much did you charge them
I'm dying to know
Come on over to Beginning Balloon Pros on Facebook where we talk about pricing ;~)
One more question 😃 have you ever made round lollipop 🍭 columns? If so can you please comment where I can find the link? If not, I would really love to see you make one! Thanks for your awesomeness and time to show us your creativity.
I'll add that the list of videos to make :~)
Thank you! You’ve been very helpful to me! How much does each stand cost at the end? Once you get all material ?
The prices go up and down but it shouldn't cost you more than $10 or so per frame. (probably less) :-)
good explanation
I got fan of you mam
How tall are the columns? And also do u need helium for the topper balloon?
The poles are 7', and the toppers are air-filled :~)
Hi. Can I use the weight down the middle of pole or do u think it will show ?
You can, but it makes it a pain in the butt to move around ....
Love you girl!!!
Hello I've been watching you an i make balloon arches an columns also but I wanted to know type of balloons do you use
I mostly use Qualatex balloons :-)
How do you keep the balloons from popping in the sun?
You showed how you connected then to your pole, but how did you actually get the columns up the steps and in place?
Take the weights off of them, put your hand between the balloons to grab the pole, pick it up and carry it. It's not heavy but a little awkward. Then place the weights back on the base plates. This is exactly why I don't put the weights in the center of the column over the pole, because then they are too heavy to easily move :~)
@@SandiMasoriPresents Thanks for sharing.
Would 3/4 inch pipe work?
For the main part of the column? Yes, but then you would need a 1" nipple and flange :~)
Do you have a trick for preventing black balloons from oxidation? Also what brand balloons do you use?
I use mostly Qualatex. Unfortunately, there's not a great way to prevent oxidation when outside. There is a cream that you can put on it to keep it shiny for indoors (balloon glow), but I'm not sure how well it works outside.
Hi
What do you do with these balloons after
either pop them or try to get them adopted :~)
What’s the height of this columns?
What size balloons and how much air
11" balloons sized to about 8" :~)
Can you tell me the shade of blue and maker of the balloon please?
This is Qualatex Robin's Egg Blue and Orange :~)
Sandi Masori thank you!
How do you keep them from oxidizing.
I have this same question
These colors don't really show the oxidization as much as other colors do, but I don't stop them from oxidizing. As long as all the balloons oxidize at the same rate, no one will really notice. So I just explain to clients that over time the balloons will take on a velvety patina :~)
How much are you charging for those columns now?
Awesome!!!
Thanks!! :-)
Hello! Downloaded the book twice, but no email.
hmmm... try your junk mail, or a different email. The automated system may be blocked by your email provider. If that doesn't work, send me an email :~)
Sandi Masori Will do!
How do you make sure all your balloons of the same size because I bought the machine with the number count and the Box and mine still don't come out the same size
Is your machine supposed to size the balloons or just count how many are inflated? The machine I use is the Conwin precision air machine :~)
@@SandiMasoriPresents No its the BOROSINO 680W B362P Timing Quantitative 2 Inflation Nozzle Electric Balloon Pump
How much in "advance" can you get away with blowing up all of the duplets prior to the event?
If you bag them, you can do it several days in advance. Air-filled balloons will last a long time :~)
Awesome
Thanks :-)
Where do you get the base plates from?
I make them from materials available from Home Depot :~) A 2x2' piece of plywood, a flange, a threaded pipe, and a piece of emt. Look at my beginning balloon professional playlist for more framing techniques

Come join my beginning balloon pros facebook group and ask there. It's a better forum to discuss pricing :~)
What brand of balloons do you like using the most for indoor and outdoor use?
I generally use Qualatex as that's what I can get locally. Betallic and Tuf-tex are also good :~)
