This was beautifully done, started following and bought your book to help me learn more..I created the milkshake inspired balloon decor it was pretty awesome!! Thank you for continued inspiration I’m also an aerialist I do aerial silks and saw one of your videos with you in the hammock awesome! You continue to make it easier through these hard times. God bless you I’m actually trying out the high heel inspired design! Rafael
I'll add it to the list, but that kind of framing is difficult to do in the studio I use, so I'll have to figure out a venue to shoot some larger things :~)
Hello love this style. Thank you for your vid Wanted to ask what size is this arch. I would love to do something similar but trying to figure out amount of balloons.
Hi Sandi. You used 9 inch balloons? Are 9 inch balloons the kind for most every arch and columns? When and for what kind of decorations do you use 11 inch balloons? Thanks
Hey Sandy! Do you recommend using balloon rings for an arch? I found a pvc pipe balloon arch kit on Amazon and it came with 50 balloon arch rings. Do you think it will be sturdy?
So preeetty, Sandi! Is the electrical PVC more flexible than the plumping PVC and is it necessary to start in the middle of the arch rather than at the bottoms? Just curious..:) Thank you for sharing this awesome video with us.
It's only necessary to start in the middle if you have a design that depends on the center point being in the center. If you are doing color blocks or a straight spiral then you don't have to start in the middle. I don't know if there's a big difference in electrical vs plumbing pvc. That's prob a good question to ask the home depot guys. ;~)
It's the same, just you would double one of the colors. So let's say we were doing red, white and black, you would do your quads as red/ white, black/ white. And then everything else is the same :~)
how fun!! I don't have a tutorial on a giraffe arch, but I've seen it done before where one side of the arch is the giraffe and the other side of the arch is a tree :~)
Well, guess what, I have a video on that coming up soon. (Ok, with a 3' balloon, but the principles are the same). I'm not sure how long it will take to edit and release the video, but there is one coming :~)
Hello Sandi, how long in advance can you fill the balloons and put them on the arch? I would like to make an arch for a float that starts around 11am, and I am wondering if I could prepare that balloons in the evening and then attach them in the morning. How much time does it take to put all 200 balloons on it like that? Thank you Ali
Hi Sandy How long arches and columns balloons last? I have a party coming up But I want to do the arch the night before... Do u think it will be ok for next night? Thanks for your help... Ps..love your videos
hmmm.... maybe 10 full pumps if you're using the purple or green hand pump. I mostly use machines though, so I'm not entirely sure. What's more important is that whatever number of pumps you choose, be consistent throughout the whole piece to keep them the same :~)
Hi Sandi. I'm just wondering if having that extra thickness at the bottom where you joined the pvc to the emt... That does not affect the balloon twisting in any way? As it's now 3/4+1/2 thick rather than the usual 3/4 alone. Hope I'm making sense.
This one is 24' linear. That means end to end with no curve it's 24'. The actual height depends on how far apart you set the bases. This one is about a double doorway size. If you want to make a smaller one, maybe make the 3 sections 6' each instead of 8' each :~)
Sandi Masori Balloons the white is plumbing, so the grey should be electrical. great work as always. I have been thinking of doing parties again, but in 20 years have never thought of a clown name hahahaha I started finally working at the flea market though
When you're ready to take it to the next level and focus on really making money, you should sign up for my Balloon Business Bootcamp. Http://www.BalloonExpertSchool.com :~)
This one is something you can make yourself. Honestly I use the aeropoles first because they are so convenient to carry and work with. But I only have 2 aeropoles, so if I need more than 2 arches, then I use this method to make them :~)
It's mostly a matter of packing the arch with just the right tension, not too squished, not too loose. From certain angles though, you will always be able to see a little bit of the frame, which is why I usually cover my frames with black tape :~)
how do you know your 7th cluster is where you start changing the direction? that's because you know how many cluster does your frame use and then kind of divide it? thanks :)
I know from trial and error that 5-7 clusters work well to get the star shape. It doesn't matter how big the frame is, as if you start in the middle you will end the same way on both sides. If you were going to start on one end and go straight from one end to the other you would need to know in advance how many clusters to make sure the center is a peak. But starting in the center and then working down each side you avoid that :~)
It's 3 pieces of 3/4" grey pvc cut to 8' each piece :~) The balloons are sized to about 8", but I don't know how many pumps that is because I use a machine, sorry :~)
Sandi Balloon thank you sandi for your reply im one ofyour avid follower in this site and so much for sharing your vid i learnerd alot to your design,God bless you always
You would need to attach the ear frame to the arch before you start putting balloons on. And you would probably want a metal frame for the arch for added stability. :~)
You need to do some framing for a shaped arch. You could make the ears out of alum rod and add them to a regular arch. There are other ways to build it as well, but too complicated to get into here ;~)
Hi Sandy, I think I can use this Arch for my Football Helmet that I need to make. Can you suggest the hardware needed to construct the mask? I know I will need to use 5 " latex but a little unsure of the hardware. The helmets that I have seen appear to have a double arch but I think I can get away by using only 1. The only thing is I don't want it to appear cheap looking. so if 2 arches is the way to go then that's what I'll need to do. Please advise. And keep balloonifying. We love the videos! Check us out on Facebook and instagram @partyfaircheseter. We'd love your critique of our arrangements also.
I think I would def do the double arch for more depth. For the facemask, I make it as saloon style doors that swing open. I can't really explain the mechanics in this format, and it will be a while before I get back into the studio to make more videos, but pvc is probably a good material for it.... :~)
HaHa!! I LOVE YOU Sandy!!! : ) lol... Thank you so much for shareing this AND All your other videos. I was looking to try this pattern!

I love it 😍😍 Thanks for sharing
Thanks! :~)
Beautiful! I will be trying this out!❤️❤️ I would like to see a fun Christmas themed arch.
Amazing, thank you
:~)
Thanks, Sandi. Another fab design. I'd be interested in seeing how to make numbers from garland
I'll add it to the list, but that kind of framing is difficult to do in the studio I use, so I'll have to figure out a venue to shoot some larger things :~)
Can you do a video on the different size arches and columns how many balloons for each?
I gave that suggestion to Rachel Porter to do as a video and clip art template. That would be a perfect one for her :~)
Hi Sandy, love the star pattern arch, can the pattern be done with 3 colors?
Yeah totally, you just have to repeat one of the colors. So lets say red, white and blue, you'd do the quads as red white, blue white. :~)
I've learned sooooo much. I would love to learn how to make a balloon arch shaped like a pagoda.
I'll add it to the list :~)
Great job. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks! :~)
That is really cool!
Thanks!! :~)
Hello love this style. Thank you for your vid
Wanted to ask what size is this arch. I would love to do something similar but trying to figure out amount of balloons.
It's 25' if you were to stretch it out flat. And it's 200 balloons :-)
I love you your work God bless you friends
Thanks! :~)
Thank you so so so much!
:~)
Hi Sandi. You used 9 inch balloons? Are 9 inch balloons the kind for most every arch and columns? When and for what kind of decorations do you use 11 inch balloons? Thanks
I use 11" balloons for almost everything. Sometimes I size them down to 9" or so, but it starts as an 11" ;~)
Hey Sandy! Do you recommend using balloon rings for an arch? I found a pvc pipe balloon arch kit on Amazon and it came with 50 balloon arch rings. Do you think it will be sturdy?
I don't think any professionals use those. To be fair, I have never tried them though. :~)
Lovely... do u have a video on how to make a reverse 4 colour arch?
I'll add it to my list. But it's pretty much the same, start in the middle and then work down each side from there :~)
So preeetty, Sandi! Is the electrical PVC more flexible than the plumping PVC and is it necessary to start in the middle of the arch rather than at the bottoms? Just curious..:) Thank you for sharing this awesome video with us.
It's only necessary to start in the middle if you have a design that depends on the center point being in the center.

That's prob a good question to ask the home depot guys. ;~)
Thank you, Sandi. You're always so helpful. Have an awesome day. :)
Can the pattern be done on a smaller PVC arch? I think yours was 10 feet.
I Love to see you do balloon decorations, I also do decorations too.
Thanks :~)
INDIANS 2
What kind of balloons do you use? They seem to be more resistant.
Those are underinflated Qualatex balloons
Is there a video that shows to do a 3 color spiral starting from the top🎈🎈Thank you!!
It's the same, just you would double one of the colors. So let's say we were doing red, white and black, you would do your quads as red/ white, black/ white. And then everything else is the same :~)
Hey Sandy...great video! My nephew's birthday is coming up and he requested a giraffe looking arch. Need your advice! Help please☺️
how fun!! I don't have a tutorial on a giraffe arch, but I've seen it done before where one side of the arch is the giraffe and the other side of the arch is a tree :~)
Hi Sandy, beautifull design, love your videos too. Could you do a helium filled gumball 24" Deco Bubble please
Well, guess what, I have a video on that coming up soon. (Ok, with a 3' balloon, but the principles are the same). I'm not sure how long it will take to edit and release the video, but there is one coming :~)
How much time took u to complete it🎈❤️
que hermoso te quedo arco, saludos
gracias! :~)
Hi Sandi, super star arch ! Can u tell me how many balloons are need for a four colored balloon arch approximately?
For a 25' arch with the balloons inflated to about 8" or so there are 50 quads :~)
Great job thnx for the video
Thank you for watching :~)
Hello Sandi,
how long in advance can you fill the balloons and put them on the arch? I would like to make an arch for a float that starts around 11am, and I am wondering if I could prepare that balloons in the evening and then attach them in the morning. How much time does it take to put all 200 balloons on it like that? Thank you Ali
It takes everyone a different amount of time, but for air-filled balloons you can def do it the day before :~)
Hi Sandy
How long arches and columns balloons last?
I have a party coming up
But I want to do the arch the night before...
Do u think it will be ok for next night?
Thanks for your help...
Ps..love your videos
Thanks. Air-filled decor will last for several days. Helium filled decor will only last for up to 18 hours or so :~)
How many 12’ balloons per feet? Quads. Just trying to figure out how many balloons I will need.
Thanks!
I don't know, it depends on the size you inflate them to. In general, I figure about 200 balloons inflated to about 8.5" for a 25' arch :~)
how much air will you insert if you using the hand pump also great work love it
hmmm.... maybe 10 full pumps if you're using the purple or green hand pump. I mostly use machines though, so I'm not entirely sure. What's more important is that whatever number of pumps you choose, be consistent throughout the whole piece to keep them the same :~)
Okay n thanks for all the great work you do and post
Hi Sandy luv the arch, what size balloons did u use?
Those are 11" balloons sized to about 8.5" :~)
Hi Sandi. I'm just wondering if having that extra thickness at the bottom where you joined the pvc to the emt... That does not affect the balloon twisting in any way? As it's now 3/4+1/2 thick rather than the usual 3/4 alone. Hope I'm making sense.
Nope :~) As long as the balloons are squishy it's fine, they'll make it around no problem.
hi sandy amazing your job plz how to make bunny arch with ears 😘
very nice - love the star pattern - I would like to learn how to make large monograms and numbers
I'll add it to the list, but I need a bigger studio for things with a lot of framing. So I'm not sure when I'll shoot those :~)
WOW That looks amazing!!! Do you know about how tall that is, I'm looking to make one 6ft.?
This one is 24' linear. That means end to end with no curve it's 24'. The actual height depends on how far apart you set the bases. This one is about a double doorway size. If you want to make a smaller one, maybe make the 3 sections 6' each instead of 8' each :~)
Does the seven work for a regular ballon arch
For a regular spiral balloon arch I find it easier to do in groups of 10. :~)
How many balloons in total did you use? I didn't hear you say if you did
Hi Sandi, love the arch but is it possible to do it with 2 colours instead of 4
Sure, why not? :~)
Sandi, if you did do it in two colors, would you have used a quad of two of one color and two of another color?
yes probably :~) It would make it easier for repairs
Sandy is the electrical pvc more sturdy then the plumbing or is thst just what you prefer?
I think the grey one (schedule 40) works best. 3/4" is better than 1/2". I always forget if grey is electrical or plumbing though.
Sandi Masori Balloons the white is plumbing, so the grey should be electrical. great work as always. I have been thinking of doing parties again, but in 20 years have never thought of a clown name hahahaha I started finally working at the flea market though
Hi sandi! I just made thie column frame, but I did not purchase the small threaded pipe...is it necessary?
If you use a threaded pole then no, but you do need some way to attach the poles to the baseplates. :~)
Thank you so much. I just started my business and it is successful because of all of help. I'm learning so much from you.
When you're ready to take it to the next level and focus on really making money, you should sign up for my Balloon Business Bootcamp. Http://www.BalloonExpertSchool.com :~)
Hi Sandy. Is the size of the EMT 3ft or 4ft?
yes ;~) Either should work
Sandi, what is the different between this arch with the aeropole arch?
This one is something you can make yourself. Honestly I use the aeropoles first because they are so convenient to carry and work with. But I only have 2 aeropoles, so if I need more than 2 arches, then I use this method to make them :~)
Hi Sandi can you please show us how to do the Flat balloon arch
Sure, I'll add it to the list, but it will be a while before I'm back in the studio :~)
Sandy if I am getting gaps does that mean my balloons are inflated to large? how do I get that closeness you have?
It's mostly a matter of packing the arch with just the right tension, not too squished, not too loose. From certain angles though, you will always be able to see a little bit of the frame, which is why I usually cover my frames with black tape :~)
Hey Sandy do u keep going by 7 to flip until you finish to the bottoms?
yep :~)
Hi Sandy, can this be done with two colors??
Sure, why not? :~)
beautiful work, but LOVE the blouse. lol
Thank you !
Approximately how many balloons did you use?
About 200 but the actual number of balloons will depend on the size of the arch and the size of the balloons :~)
woow💕😍💕😍
Thanks!! :~)
Super Madam
Thanks! :~)
May i know how many meters your arc pole to create a star,
This is a 25' arch frame. I don't know what that is in meters though, sorry, I'm not so good with metric :~)
how do you know your 7th cluster is where you start changing the direction? that's because you know how many cluster does your frame use and then kind of divide it? thanks :)
I know from trial and error that 5-7 clusters work well to get the star shape. It doesn't matter how big the frame is, as if you start in the middle you will end the same way on both sides.

But starting in the center and then working down each side you avoid that :~)
awesome, thank you for your time to answer my question. You are great in what you're doing.
awww thanks :~)
Maria De Jesus Guerrero Ruiz Great question. I wondered the same thing
hi sandy may i know how many meter or yard that pipe line so can create a nice a firm arch and how many pump each ballon
It's 3 pieces of 3/4" grey pvc cut to 8' each piece :~) The balloons are sized to about 8", but I don't know how many pumps that is because I use a machine, sorry :~)
Sandi Balloon
thank you sandi for your reply im one ofyour avid follower in this site and so much for sharing your vid i learnerd alot to your design,God bless you always
What size balloons did you use for this arch? And what balloon size do you typically use for arches and columns?
That's an 11" balloon sized to about 8.5", that's what I typically use :~)
very nice
good
please your make left side and right side elephant
left side and right side? I'm not sure what you mean... :~) Thanks!!
nice
Thanks :-)
how high is your arch Sandy?
It's 24' linear. The height/ width depends on how far apart the bases are. :~)
2 color star pattern arch?
yep, that can work too. Just alternate the colors :~)
Hi was wondering how I can make bunny ears on a arch.
You would need to attach the ear frame to the arch before you start putting balloons on. And you would probably want a metal frame for the arch for added stability. :~)
hi if I wanted to make a hello kitty arch how can I make the ears pointy instead of round
You need to do some framing for a shaped arch. You could make the ears out of alum rod and add them to a regular arch. There are other ways to build it as well, but too complicated to get into here ;~)
Sandi Masori Balloons ok thank you
also how long/tall is your arch?
It's 3 8' pieces of PVC, so it's 24' linear. The width/ height depends on how far apart you put the bases ;~)
How many balloons did it take to cover this size?
Just found your site and I ❤️ your videos! Your creations are amazing!
How can i do this with 3 colors
Just double one of the colors, so you would have red, white, black, white for example :~)
CAN YOU SHOW US HOW TO DO A REVERSE SPIRAL ARCH???
Yep, I'll add it to the list :~)
I like👍🏻
Thank you!
You used 4 colors to create the star. What about 3 colors only?
You would double one of the colors, so red, white, black, white. :~)
em que polegadas vc mediu
The balloons are 11" balloons sized to about 9" and the pvc is 3 pieces cut to 8' each :~)
sandy I am wanting to see how to make a pregnancy mommy for gender reveal...
We won't be able to shoot that one for a few months still, so it might be a while. I have to play with it too as I haven't done that one yet ;~)
Hi Sandy, I think I can use this Arch for my Football Helmet that I need to make. Can you suggest the hardware needed to construct the mask?

I think I would def do the double arch for more depth. For the facemask, I make it as saloon style doors that swing open. I can't really explain the mechanics in this format, and it will be a while before I get back into the studio to make more videos, but pvc is probably a good material for it.... :~)
