Thanks Bria! : )
Ty for posting your videos they are so helpful. I’ve watch many videos and yours have helped me feel more confident about making a garland. I’ve made mini garlands for my stuffed balloons but a full size intimidates me. Once again ty for explaining in parts.
Oh, yay! 🥳 Thank you so much, I'm very glad! 🤩 You've got this - it's the same process whether you're doing mini or full sized. Best of luck!!

Hello Rachel
I purchased a kit from Amazon similar to this one.
My colors are dark teal orange and white and I will be using some of the gold ballons.
What I'm debating if I should do clusters of the same color or mix and Match.
Love your videos!!
Hey Janet! Oooh that’s gonna be awesome! It’s totally up to you on that call! Color block always looks cool but mixing and matching is fun too! 🫶🏻 it’s gonna be gorgeous!
XOXO,
Rach
You just saved me sooooo much money!!!❤❤❤❤❤
🤭 woo hoo!
XOXO,
Rach
I love your videos! I want to make an arch for my nieces baby shower and after watching your videos, I feel like I can do it. You have helped me so much! You should consider selling balloon kits.. I’ve struggled with deciding on color combinations and how many to buy.. I know there are tons of kits on Amazon, but I worry about the quality.. Anyway, thank you for doing what you do!!!
Thanks so much Tracy! Best of luck to you. I hope to be able to offer them sooner rather than later!! 🤞🏻
XOXO,
Rach

You make it look easy, thank you for the step by step tutorials! Where do you get your balloons? And do you have a preferred balloon brand?
hahaha! Thank you, and you are welcome! I shop around, but often from Bargain Balloons, PS Helium, All American, or balloons.online. In this video I used Tuftex & Sempertex, I also use Qualatex a lot!
XOXO,
Rach
So cute! These are very helpful

Thank you so very much! I really enjoyed all the videos of this mini series. Beautiful work! From your newest subscriber 🙂
Hi G! That’s so lovely to hear! Thanks and welcome to the bubbly community! Glad to have you here 🤩🥳

Great job! How long do the balloons stay filled? How soon can we start to make it ahead of time?
Do you think the balloons would hold up well blowing them up the night before and assembling the garland the next day if we are crunched for time?
Hi Kayla! This almost always works, but I do recommend testing a handful of your balloons ahead of time to be sure! Blow them up and leave them out for a few days to see how they look on day 2, 3, etc. It’s almost always a yes for me! Best of luck!
XOXO,
Rach
Hello I’m a beginner this would be the 1st time for my grandson can’t afford to hire a balloon person ! Can you show a video of how to put balloons all the way around a backdrop stand ?
Love love love your videos 👍👍
Thank you so so much! I really appreciate that! : )
XOXO,
Rach
About how long before an event could I make the arch? How many days left inside would the balloons stay inflated?
Hi Lynne! That depends on the specific balloons you're using - like everything else out there, there is a difference in quality between manufacturers. My advice is always to test it out with the specific balloons you're going to be using; go ahead and inflate a few of each color/size as soon as they arrive and see how they age over the next couple of days to know how early you can put them up. With most balloons, 1-2 days is totally safe if they stay indoors the whole time, but some of the cheaper ones turn quickly, so test it out to know for sure with what you're working with. 🙂
XOXO,
Rach
Hi! How many balloons (approx) is the final "extra" look?
Hi Sarah! I would say it was about 80 to make the garland (20 of those were double stuffed) and another 25 or 30 to decorate with. So a little over a hundred, give or take, for this 7+/- footer!
XOXO,
Rach
@@BubblyBalloonCo Do you double stuff the mini cluster balloons?
I do make them match, so if I double stuffed the large then I would double stuff the smalls too! The only double stuffed in this look was rosewood and I didn’t use any 5” in that color. I do have a whole video on double stuffing if that helps! 🤍
XOXO,
Rach
@@ambariliana556 Hi Ambar, I would if I'd double stuffed the large balloons of that color, yes! There are some tricks to it though, I cover them in this video here: ua-cam.com/video/PMf1cjWAmCE/v-deo.html
Hope that helps!
XOXO,
Rach
What if you pop the balloon or the stringy balloon you're using to tie as you go around, is that when you use the sticky tape and add a balloon to the spot? The stringy balloon is that the ones the clowns use to make shapes and animals?
Hi Sasha!
Yes, it's called a 260 or you can use a 160 (slightly thinner), those are the balloons that clowns use, yes. There isn't a risk of popping the 260 because it isn't inflated, so it's like super stretchy rope that you just twist around the balloons. And if you make a mistake and can't easily undo it, you can always cut the 260 and pull it out of the garland and try again with another one! Hope that helps!
XOXO,
Rach
Can you explain what a 260 is and where to buy it?
How would I build a simple frame so the balloon garland can be I. Front of a backdrop in a loose S shape?
What if I want all the same colored balloons to be together? How do I make it look full with mini balloons that will be the same color?
Hey Katie, great question! You would use the same technique, just with color blocking. I demonstrate it in the fastest balloon garland ever series (3 videos), the one on small balloons can be seen here: ua-cam.com/video/flQ_rMLhM-A/v-deo.html
XOXO,
Rach
Can one make this the day before a party(baby shower) and transport it to 2nd location (in cold weather) 15 to 20 hours later?
Hi Maggy! Usually they can be done a day or more ahead of time, but I always recommend you test it by inflating a few of the ones you'll be using to see how they age and have confidence how they'll do for you!
XOXO,
Rach
What did you use to stick the butterflies on?
Hey Erica! They actually come with some glue dots, super easy to use! 😍
XOXO,
Rach
Approximately how much would you charge for that finished garland?
Good q! I charge based off of size, so with this being about 6-8 feet, I'd be in the $100-150 range, not including delivery/install. Your market may go for higher, though!
XOXO,
Rach
How many balloons and in what sizes do you use for this garland?
This garland was about 7 feet and I believe I used about 50 balloons, mostly 5 & 11 inches.
XOXO,
Rach
Where did you purchase the butterflies?
I got them on Amazon! The exact ones I bought seem to be gone, but these look quite similar: www.amazon.com/Butterfly-Decoration-Hollow-Out-Butterflies-Decorations/dp/B08TM7432D/ref=sr_1_56_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=48Pcs+Butterfly+Decorations%2C+Creatiee+3D+Wall+Decals%7CMetallic+Art+Sticker%2C+DIY%2FHandmade%2FRemovable%2FPressure+Resistance+Paper+Murals+Gift+for+Home+Kids&qid=1621213648&sr=8-56-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExM04xNkU4QkhLUVIyJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTQxNTQ3MVdWUDg5OVdZNjVZVCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTc3NDI3MUVaMEhIODY3WEtQMiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2J0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
Thank you!!
Where do I buy 260s/280s?
Approximately how many balloons total are in a Garland like this?
Wait, you didn’t say what you put on the butterflies for the balloons did you use double-sided tape Scotch tape, hot glue I know you didn’t use hot glue I was just saying cause I was gonna use double sided dots
The adhesive that comes with them! 😊
XOXO,
Rach
