@@BubblyBalloonCo Thank you!
Aww great job 🍃😊🍂
Thank you! 😌
XOXO,
Rach
Tomorrow's my birthday and this video saved my day💕💕
You make it look so easy.
I am always struggling to add new pairs once my garland gets longer.
I think I’ll try standing with a table next time.
I usually sit on the floor and then use a wall near me for counter pressure. Sometimes I lay down cause I can’t control it. 🤣😂
I’m 5’1 and have t-rex arms.
HAHA the visual you just gave me, I love it! I feel your struggle! You'll find what works for you!
XOXO,
Rach
Easiest balloon garland video I've seen
Awesome, thanks for watching + commenting!
XOXO,
Rach
Perfect video 😘😘😘
Thanks Kylie!! 😍😍
Yes it is very easy
Totally! : )
XOXO,
Rach
Owsome 🤩
Thank you!
XOXO,
Rach
Thanks for the tutorial, was just wondering what’s the best way to keep it standing up?
I like attaching it to something permanent or a really secure attachment point. (I have a video on how to hang balloon garlands with more info!) You could also get a stand of some kind that would hold it upright, and create the arch around it. Hope that helps!
XOXO,
Rach
This is so helpful! You make this look so easy!
😍💖🎈
So helpful! Can you use twine instead of ribbon? Wondering if it would have less chance to pop balloons. Ty for teaching us! ❤
Hey there! I’ve never used twine but I’m sure it would do the trick! My favorite is the thin, long balloons, called 260s but just about anything will work! Best of luck 🫶🏻
XOXO,
Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo Thank you for the feedback. 🥰
Thank you! How can it be sticked to the wall for example?
Can i ask how many baloons used in 1 basic garland. Tnx you for the responsed..i really love your videos.
❤❤❤
🥰🥰
Your garlands are amazing , you make it look so easy . Are you able to do a Christmas tutorial. I think I have found my new hobbie :)
Thanks so much Karla! Glad you’re enjoying! Don’t worry, I have at least a half dozen Christmas creations planned so far! 🤓🤩🥳😍🎄🎅🏻
XOXO,
Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo Thank you so much , it's all I've been looking forward to atm due to covid . I'm in Australia !
Ugh I feel you!!! My family are over there too. I hope this brings you some joy right about now! ✨
@@BubblyBalloonCo it sure is thank you 😊
I watched your 4 cluster video first and felt overwhelmed however the 2 method looks much easier. Yes, mine was an Amazon didn't get the gold or white😟but I'll hit Party City tomorrow
I was wondering what do you prefer and think looks better. Using a strip or ribbon or just trying clusters together. I'm unsure what direction I would like to take for my first one 😅 x
Hi there! I'd do whatever seems easier to you for the first one, and then as you practice, you'll develop your own style! I started with strips, but now I consider using fishing line or 260s to be the easiest methods. : )
XOXO,
Rach
hello!!! this is so incredible thank you for these videos, what if all I have is balloons and I cant find the other things that you mentioned? i do have mounting tape? would that work, I would love your advice, Im from Canada but I'm currently living in Nicaragua ( Central America ) i would love any advice
Hey there Felicia! Check out my video on the fastest balloon garland ever, on my channel. It uses just balloons! I hope that helps, and feel free to comment if you have questions after 😍
XOXO to you & yours in Nicaragua,
Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
About how long would you anticipate creating one of these before a party set up? About how long would 200 balloons take to build onto an ach?
Yea first here...notification gang :) :) :)
hahahahaha! 🏆
XOXO,
Rach
What gauge fishing line is the best to use?
Instead of cutting the fishing line into pieces u could have kept it in ur apron to prevent it from tangling and also have u tried the tying neck to neck technique. I'm grateful for this video I'm learning alot just waiting to get over the fear of balloons popping
When a ballon pop how do u replace it?
@@reginajackson8915 I am still learning but Rachel is motivating me to try my hand in balloon artwork but I have a lil fear of balloons popping.
@@allanamatthews8341 Sorry that was meant for Rach . LOL
@@reginajackson8915 lol np
Hi Allana! I did that with the ribbon in the beginning, but I find that fishing line can get tangled pretty easy and I prefer to work with it in small chunks at a time (usually 10-15 feet, max). The neck tying technique is one of my faves, it's what I use in many videos, including in the fastest garland ever video. : ) Glad the video was helpful, and as far as your fear of balloons popping, I definitely get it, that's no fun! I will say in all the 50+ videos I've done this year, I have had maybe 2 balloons pop on me? It's super rare. 1) Using high quality balloons helps, and 2) under-inflating also helps, at least until you get the hang of how far you can go with them and get in a good rhythm. Pretty much all the ones I've popped over the years are from over-inflating (or a defective balloon, but that's less often). You've got this!
XOXO,
Rach
Rachel, I hope you have a moment to answer. Your videos have inspired me to explore a balloon business. I'm doing my first client garland and I'm double stuffing a tuftex orange balloon with a cheap black one to get burnt orange. It's beautiful except the balloon gets marks on it easily from handling it. It only seems to happen when I stuff a dark balloon inside the orange Tuftex balloon. How do I prevent this? I think it's my fingernails? I've never seen you use gloves before. Will that work? The whole garland will be ruined by the time I get it installed. Any advice?
Exciting that you’re going down this road and congratulations! I have never experienced what you’re talking about 😩 I did used to wear gloves a lot, some rubber Carhartt ones, that may help. If you can give me more details I’ll try to recreate it myself to see what’s happening. Are your nails super long? 🥺
@@BubblyBalloonCo no. My nails are short. If I rub or scratch the stuffed balloon, which happens from handling it, you can see marks on the orange balloon like the black is bleeding thru. It's strange. My test balloon looks like tiger stripes are on it. Never happened to to me before.
That sounds devastating! I just tried to recreate it, the only orange I have in stock from Tuftex is burnt orange, I stuffed it with Qualatex onyx black and had no issues, nothing at all like what you're describing. I rubbed it, scratched at it, and there was no change in the balloon.
I've never seen what you're describing before and am really stumped, I'm so sorry! Do you have other balloons to hand? I would try stuffing the orange with something else, then stuffing the black into something else and seeing if it happens with either of those combos and try to isolate which balloon is the problem. You might also reach out to the supplier you got them from to see if they can help or replace them as needed. If you're in a super rush, Party City's balloons have worked for me in a pinch! Wishing you the very best, that sounds stressful.
XOXO,
Rach
What is the balloon pump brand you use? I don't see a link. Thank you
Can You Inflate Balloons Night Prior Or Will They Disinflate?
Hi Jessie! In most cases you're going to be totally fine, but it depends on the balloons you're using. I always recommend inflating a few balloons from the batch you'll be using as a test as soon as possible so you can be certain they will still look great after a day or two!
XOXO,
Rach
Hi, may I know what brand of balloons are used here? I've bought a set of latex balloons but the quality doesnt seem good.
How long does a garland last with just regular air and not helium? When should it be made before party?
Hey Bella! I only use air, never helium, and depending on the quality of balloons you're using, the environment, etc. it can often last several days or much longer. I always recommend to test by inflating a few balloons as soon as they arrive to see how long yours will look good and have certainty on it for yourself! Usually the day before is safe, but always test! : )
XOXO,
Rach
I’m making a garland for my sons first birthday and my biggest anxiety is about where to use the 18in balloons 😂 how to I know when/where to put them so it doesn’t look wonky?
Is ribbon better or fishing string
Up to preference, but I definitely prefer fishing line!
XOXO,
Rach
thank you, how do you connect with a 160
Hey there! With the exact same method! A 160 is just a skinnier 260, so it works the exact same. : )
XOXO,
Rach
How many baloons are required to make this baloon garland
How do you replace a balloon when it has popped?
Good q! I like to cut out the remaining latex so it isn't seen, but make sure that doesn't mess up your garland (if that's the balloon the fishing line is tied to). Then you can use glue dots to stick another one in its place, or use fishing line or ribbon to wrap another pair in. : )
XOXO,
Rach
Are you using helium or is that just air?
just air! : )
Hi. How many balloons did you use?
I believe this was around 40-50 if I’m not mistaken.
XOXO,
Rach
Last minute balloon garland and I only have yarn, could that work?
I’d certainly try it! I can imagine it could! Let us know how it goes!
XOXO,
Rach
