5 HELPFUL TIPS
FOR CREATING A DIY BALLOON ARCH

venue and creates a festive environment for every
guest.

This type of decoration looks impressive and is
surprisingly easy to assemble, whether you choose
to put together a complete arch or a semicircular
arch. Whatever the scale of your balloon arch, be
sure to select high-quality balloons to ensure
optimal staying power for your party decorations.
A balloon arch lasts anywhere from eight to
twelve hours, so its best to put it together the
morning of an afternoon gathering or the
afternoon of an evening celebration. Before you
build, turn to Toy World for a variety of latex
and foil balloons from the nations top balloon
brands like Tuftex, Sempertex, Qualatex and
Anagram.

Here are five easy-to-follow steps to create your
own balloon arch
Choose your Color Palette.
The color of your DIY balloon arch makes a
difference when it comes to how your guests
experience this piece of party decor. Depending
on your partys visual theme or mood, you can
choose balloons in contrasting or complementary
colors. Perhaps you opt for balloons in pink and
blue pastel tones for a gender reveal party or
silver and gold for a graduation celebration.
Keep size in mind when purchasing your balloons.
If you go with smaller balloons for your arch,
youll need more of them to craft a substantial
display. Intermixing large and small balloons can
make your balloon arch even more visually
interesting.

Decide on a Shape for Your Balloon Arch.
Before you begin assembling your balloon arch,
decide on the shape youd like it to be. Balloon
displays like arches allow for lots of options as
far as shapes go. You might construct a balloon
arch shaped like a heart for a Galentines Day
get-together or a semicircle to place over a door
or entryway. Consider the environment or room
before building your DIY balloon arch. You dont
want it to be too large or too small for your
party venue. A traditional arch or upside down L
are common choices for balloon garlands, as they
are easy to make and can adapt to multiple
surroundings.
5
Invest in a Balloon Pump.
Before you put together your DIY balloon arch,
invest in an electric balloon pump. This will
save you time and make easier work of inflating
balloons and building your arch. If you cant
find an electric one, a hand balloon pump will
save you time, as the average balloon arch
requires anywhere from 50-200 balloons!
6
Build your Archs Foundation.
There are a few different ways to build the base
of your balloon arch. You can purchase a balloon
arch stand or even a kit online. However, this
means youll have less flexibility when it comes
to the shape of your arch. Plastic hooks and
fishing line or a sturdy string can be used to
affix a balloon arch to a wall or lintel. You can
use a low temp hot glue gun or clear tape to
secure the inflated balloons to the frame of your
arch.
7
Add Extra Touches to Your Arch.
Adding accessories to your balloon arch is a
great way to make it stand out. You can enhance
your arch with flowers, leaves, or ribbons.
Intermixing these with inflated balloons adds
texture and color to your balloon arch. To make
these additional elements look intentional, try
to space them as evenly as possible throughout
your arch.
