Hi Chris. If only I'd seen this video a few days ago as I've just arranged 2 x 3ft confetti balloon arrangements with collars and tulle etc plus lots of other balloons for a wedding on Saturday. I opted for using the static technique rather than UHF for the confetti as I believed that it would all clump together and look a mess. The static worked to a degree but the venue was cold making the confetti drop around the bottom half of the 3ft clear latex but they still looked very pretty and I was pleased with the results. I've now subscribed and looking forward to watching all of your videos from now on. Thank you and best wishes Annette Norfolk England
Hi Annette. Thanks for the feedback. We tried the static method a bunch of times but it was just unreliable. The clumping issue using UHF, adding confetti and THEN inflating was always there... With the confetti applicator this issue has been resolved. Have a great day, Chris
Thanks Chris. I have my list of bits for your confetti applicator at the ready! I'll let you know how I get on with my next confetti balloons. Thank you so much for sharing your great tips. Much appreciated. Annette :)
Hi Chris, love the video. Can't wait to make the Confetti Applicator. How much confetti would you recommend to fill a 22" bubble balloon ? As I've been asked to do 14 confetti balloons , for a wedding . Also if I use tulle or lights where the ribbon goes ? Will a 22" be large enough still float with all this and confetti ?Or would I have to use a 3ft one ? The client wants them for the tables . Many thanksRoslyn
Hi Roslyn Thanks for getting in touch. To be honest, I have never tried confetti in a 22" bubble. We would use the larger 24" deco bubbles... getting confetti in that is tricky, we use a very narrow funnel and about 5 to 10 grams of confetti. I would worry about lift with all the embelishments you are planning on putting on a bubble balloon. Definately use the 24" size as it has substantial more lift than the 22" BUT if it was me I would use a 3ft clear for something with tulle and or lights and or confetti. Cheers Chris
Hi Chris, Thank you for your reply . And will take on board what your saying regarding Using either 24" or 3ft balloons. Very much appreciate your feedback. Roslyn
One question, what happens if your balloon by mistake deflates and you inflate it again with helium? Will confettis be stuck to the wall or not? Thanks, Wolverine. :)
Hi Macela We underinflate our confetti balloons to about 65cm in diameter. It allows the balloon to be more robust with less chance of it popping. Also just large enough to be clear. Measure from two fixed points... say a wall to the edge of a chair 65cm. Then inflate the balloon between those two points when it touches both sides you are at 65cm. Cheers Chris
Hi, wich kind of paper do you use? the regular color sheets? or wich? cause I Used That and only stay on the bottom of the ballon, no prob with the metálic paper, but with the regular yes... greetings from México
Hi Mafer I don't think it matters what paper you use, paper won't hold up very well by static alone... plastic (esp metallic plastic) will hold a little better by static. The issue is that static will dissipate, this is why we use hi-float & this applicator tool to stick confetti to the inside of the balloon.

Hi from Colombia, I would like to know how you did the measurements of the table to know how far to inflate the balloons? Thanks

Hi! What kind of hi float do you use? The one on the table, is that tool made for measuring balloons? What do you call that?
Hi Chris,
Did you make the hellium pump (yellow one) yourself, or did you buy it?
Thanks!
Where do you buy the confeti???
And the confetti did you do by your self or no
Hello! I faced a problem that after processing the hi float in a transparent ball are divorces! What am I doing wrong?
Hi, wich kind of paper do you use? the regular color sheets? or wich? cause I Used That and only stay on the bottom of the ballon, no prob with the metálic paper, but with the regular yes...

hi Cris! how are you ? I write from Mexico City. I wanna know: how is the name or type to metalic paper that do you use "confeti"?
Hi Ruben! The metallic confetti is just 'metallic confetti'... I don't think there has been another name for it. Sorry!
creo que confeti le dicen al.papel picado en este caso papel.picado metalizado lo que no se.Que le echa al globo ?
Si es metálico, con el que se envuelven los regalos...
