Hi Sandi, excellent step by step guide! I've just recently started making balloon garlands and your videos have helped me a great deal. Questions: what are the pros and cons of using the 260 balloons to loop and tie the balloons versus pros and cons of fishing line? Do you prefer one over the other? Many thanks Sandi!
Fishing line can cause friction tears which will cause a slow leak. With the 260s it's latex to latex, so no friction burns :~) On the other hand, the 260s can stretch and break, so that's why I add a line of dacron through it at the end. :~)
May I ask how do much do you charge for this arch? Do you charge by the foot or it is a set price? I have so much trouble charging. Help a sister out please. I love your video's💝
I need to make an organic garland but on a stage for a kindergarten graduation. Will an organic garland work with the arch poles I saw you make in a previous video? Your tutorials are THE BEST I’ve seen. Thank you!
Depending on the size of the garland you would need to rent a van or a moving truck. We don't usually inflate them on site as I generally prefer to spend as little time on site as possible, but this event was an exception as it was an early morning job and we had the whole night on site :-)
Hello Sandi I love your work... My son's 1st Birthday is coming up and I would love to see you do something with a lego theme... not the lego movie but the classic legos or maybe a tutorial on how to make the lego man or lego minifigures... Thank you 🙂

Hi Ms. Sandi! Superb! 👏👏👏 Just have a question, We just started our balloon business, would you mind ,if it is ok. Guve us a tip on how to price like this kind of arrangement. Thank you in advance. 😍
Absolutely love your work and the way you took time to explain the process, would you recommend using the dacron line instead of the 260q's or just stick to the method that you did on the tutorial?
Thank you for sharing just wondering would you still get an organic look attaching smaller balloons 🎈 on to your duplex when attaching them together to make quads? You also mention 11 inch balloons yes? I know they come in 12” but you are using 11 inch balloons blowing them up to capacity and rounding them or just using 12”’balloons and blowing them up to 11 capacity and rounding and can we use different sizes staring with the method you are teaching this evening including attaching a large balloon on to the garland ( that balloon that’s usually at the end of the garland) i hope you understood what I’m trying to say 😊
I use 11" balloons that are sized to 8" or smaller to keep them nice and round. You want to underinflate the balloons to keep the round shape. I've found that when you try to use the 5" balloons in the main garland, they just kinda disappear and then you're going to need to layer something in anyway. As for the larger 16" and 3' balloons, you add them in the same way that you add the extra pieces of garland, or the 5" balloons :~)
Probably best to use a matching color so it blends, but having said that I'll admit that sometimes I just use whatever is around. As for getting better at tying... practice, practice, practice ;~)
Sandi, do you use any other hooks instead of Command hooks or Clik-Clik to attach the garland to walls. I've always been skeptical that when using Command Hooks there is a chance that paint or material will come off with it and I will have to pay for the damage to the venue or my clients home. I understand and have used Clik-Clik.
Yes, I have a video on it. I'll try to get you the link when I'm back on the computer. Otherwise, look through the playlists on my channel and you'll see there's a Christmas one that has my tree on it :~)
I use 260s instead of fishing line because the fishing line can put tiny friction tears in the balloons that cause slow leaks. With the 260 it's latex to latex so less friction. :-)
Ok so you’re using 260’s in place of string or fishing line? When you tie them together how many times do you tie them? I’d be afraid they’d come undone. But so snug.
What happens when you run out of your 260 ballloon? Are you just tying them together to make it longer? I always use fishing line but I wanna try your method and shape!
Thank you! I haven’t had much problems, but then again I was using ribbon more and it worked good. I’m going to try this! I didn’t know you replied!!! 🤗
oh my goodness, who knows lol. That's the hard part about organic, it's not modular and easy to count like regular garlands are. There's prob around 600 balloons or so here (in many sizes). :-)
I just did that for the first time the other day when I was setting up for my tv appearance. You're right, it is easier, but at the time of this video I had no idea ;~)
Best walkthrough tutorial on organic garland I’ve seen yet. I now feel confident to take this project on. Always a pleasure learning from you Sandi.

thank you :~)
Love watching your videos!!

May I ask how do much do you charge for this arch? Do you charge by the foot or it is a set price? I have so much trouble charging. Help a sister out please. I love your video's💝
Loved it you so bubbly and informative
Thanks! :~)
I love your personality 😍😍
I really love it!! thank you again.. for i have leaned hopefully for my next project
Thank you! I hope it's a huge hit!! :~)
Absoutley gorgeous
Thanks! :-)
I need to make an organic garland but on a stage for a kindergarten graduation. Will an organic garland work with the arch poles I saw you make in a previous video? Your tutorials are THE BEST I’ve seen. Thank you!
Yes, the framework for the arch will work for a classic arch or organic :~)
Hi. Sandi how. Would i. Transport the. Garland you have made. Here. Or would i. Have to. Blow them up. On site. Like you. Did.?
Depending on the size of the garland you would need to rent a van or a moving truck. We don't usually inflate them on site as I generally prefer to spend as little time on site as possible, but this event was an exception as it was an early morning job and we had the whole night on site :-)
Sandy can you use ribbon (curling) to secure the garland also? Also how many balloons did this garland take to make?
I wouldn't suggest using curling ribbon. It doesn't have any stretch and can put friction tears in the balloons which can cause a slow leak.
Really looking nice , well done . Txs for the video 👍
It's beautiful!
Thank you! :~)
So many great tips!!! Thank you!!! How many balloons did you use? Did I miss that?
Hmmmm that's a good question, I'm not sure, maybe around 700 total or so?
Hello Sandi I love your work... My son's 1st Birthday is coming up and I would love to see you do something with a lego theme... not the lego movie but the classic legos or maybe a tutorial on how to make the lego man or lego minifigures... Thank you 🙂
I'll add it to the list, but I don't know if I'll be in studio in time to make it for the event. :~)
BEAUTIFUL! How much would you charge for this?

@@SandiMasoriPresents u should take her balloons boot camp yea
Awesome video it was fun to watch. My question is why is it called an organic garland?
Because it's not a linear or modular design and the popularity of it kinda came about organically because of Pinterest :~)
How did you make the floating centerpieces in the background?
Thank you Sandi for sharing this awesome video
:~)
Hi Ms. Sandi! Superb! 👏👏👏
Just have a question, We just started our balloon business, would you mind ,if it is ok. Guve us a tip on how to price like this kind of arrangement. Thank you in advance. 😍
Come into my Beginning Balloon Pros Facebook group, that's where we talk about pricing and all that :~)
Sandi Masori how can I e added to your beginning balloon pros ?
Absolutely love your work and the way you took time to explain the process, would you recommend using the dacron line instead of the 260q's or just stick to the method that you did on the tutorial?
I do it exactly the way I show it, 260s first and then going through with the dacron :~)
Love it 🤩🤩
Thanks! :-)
Love your videos and love your work
Thank you for watching! :~)
Oooohhh!!! Archline! Who knew...you!😆😆
Thank you for sharing just wondering would you still get an organic look attaching smaller balloons 🎈 on to your duplex when attaching them together to make quads?

@@SandiMasoriPresents thank you so much i appreciate the feed back and for understanding my question 😀
What color balloon do you use for the 260?? Any tricks on how to get better at tying w the 260s ?
Probably best to use a matching color so it blends, but having said that I'll admit that sometimes I just use whatever is around. As for getting better at tying... practice, practice, practice ;~)
Sandi Masori thank you!! Absolutely love your videos and my book is on the way!
Sandi, do you use any other hooks instead of Command hooks or Clik-Clik to attach the garland to walls. I've always been skeptical that when using Command Hooks there is a chance that paint or material will come off with it and I will have to pay for the damage to the venue or my clients home. I understand and have used Clik-Clik.
If you can't use command hooks, and there's no way to rig by tying onto something else, then you have to frame it.
awesome work How much does something like that cost
Great tutorial
Thank you! :-)
Beautiful! Is it possible to do an organic arch using a frame as well?
Yes, absolutely :-)
The best in the game
awww thanks! :~)
Beautiful.
Can you explain how to create balloon Christmas tree?
Yes, I have a video on it. I'll try to get you the link when I'm back on the computer. Otherwise, look through the playlists on my channel and you'll see there's a Christmas one that has my tree on it :~)
do you always use the 260s? Ive seen alot of others use fishing line. which is better?
I use 260s instead of fishing line because the fishing line can put tiny friction tears in the balloons that cause slow leaks. With the 260 it's latex to latex so less friction. :-)
you are so awesome
Thank you! :~)
Awesome
Hi how long does this take you assemble
Ok so you’re using 260’s in place of string or fishing line? When you tie them together how many times do you tie them? I’d be afraid they’d come undone. But so snug.
What happens when you run out of your 260 ballloon? Are you just tying them together to make it longer? I always use fishing line but I wanna try your method and shape!
I just tie in another :-) I don't use fishing line as that can cause tiny friction tears and slow leaks
Sandi Masori Presents what type of line did you add to secure it? It looked like fishing line.
Thank you! I haven’t had much problems, but then again I was using ribbon more and it worked good. I’m going to try this! I didn’t know you replied!!! 🤗
Hermoso😍😍
Gracias! :~)
Whoaaa what kind of pump was that?
The blower? It's the Conwin Airforce 4 :~)
Hi Sandy. How many 11” quads did you use?
oh my goodness, who knows lol. That's the hard part about organic, it's not modular and easy to count like regular garlands are. There's prob around 600 balloons or so here (in many sizes). :-)
I like this method better than the duplex ones
It goes up pretty quick and easy :~)
How long did it take you to setup that entire space?
A few hours :-)
What kind or brand of balloons do you use for indoors and outdoor?
For the most part I use Qualatex for both :-)
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! :~)
You are amazing call me sometime loved taking your class
Lightbulbie and teardropie need to become balloon terms like quad and duplett.
11:00 🤭
Save your 260's (and time) & use rubber bands (cheaper), instead! No cutting, no knots.
I just did that for the first time the other day when I was setting up for my tv appearance. You're right, it is easier, but at the time of this video I had no idea ;~)
Volunteer Balloon Decor you use rubber band in place of all the 260s?
Beverly Nelson-Oliver I don’t use 260’s unless I’m in a bind. I use thin braided line for the spine and rubber bands to insert duplets as fillers.
Volunteer Balloon Decor thanks!
Rubber bands?! Wow, is there a tutorial showing how to use them instead? Thanks for the tip!
what is dacron?
It's kind of a strong cotton string. I'm not sure what it's industrial use is, but you can buy it in huge spools. :-)
Why are these called "organic" ? Is it because they are different sizes? Less uniform?
