If you haven't already pre-filled them, it's time to blow up the balloons! Enlist any willing helpers to blow up balloons, because this takes a while! Insert it into the base and adjust the placement of the bases until you are happy with the arch. if you did not put the balloon clips onto the tubes, thread them onto the metal pole now before the next step.īend the pole gently as you take the other end to the other base. Take one end of the long pole and place it into one of the tubes that is in the bases. This next step works best if you have someone to help you with. They should snap into place as you open it out, but just make sure each end is pushed securely into the next pole. Now you can take the metal poles and attach them together. To make it easier for myself later, I like to put the balloon clips onto these poles at this stage. Once you have done this step, you can put in the small plastic tube into the centre hole of each base. Place your bases on the ground about 3.5m apart. If you are having an outdoor party, reinforce the bases with sand bags as well. Pull open the rubber plug and fill the base. This helps to weigh the base down so the arch is able to stand. The first thing to do is to fill the bases with either sand or water. In box you will find two bases, two short tubes, 50 balloon clips, and 8 metal poles (connected by elastic rope). Take all your contents out of the box and make sure you have all the parts. A large area for assembling (preferably away from any wind).Around 100-200 balloons to suit your theme (the 2.5m arch will hold approx 120 of the 30cm balloons).Water or sand for weighing down the bases. If they start looking a little dull, give them a gentle wipe with baby oil to give them their shine back. To save time, you can blow them up the day before your party, and if you need to set up in a different location you can transport the balloons in large garbage bags. Ask friends or family to help with the job to make it easier!ĭepending on the quality of the balloons, they can last for quite a while before they start to deflate. Plan ahead for your party! The complete process for setting up for balloon arches can take approximately 2-3 hours if you are doing it by yourself.
