How to Add Confetti to Your (BOBO) Bubble Balloon

Image
This special DIY guide shows you how to   add confetti to your bubble (bobo) balloons . We show this by using regular inflatable bubble balloons instead of using helium. This is where the stick comes in handy, as it will make your balloon look like a fun lollipop. Choosing the right size Because bubble balloons are round, we want to make sure it stays in good shape on the balloon stick. Ideally, you would use foil balloon cups and sticks, but since we're using 10-inch bubble balloons, it fits equally well in regular balloon cups and sticks.   How to add confetti to the inside Since we are using regular air for this  bubble balloon , you will need to use 1/4 of the gel and 3/4 of the water mixed together to create the solution. Mix the solution and pump a little into the bubble balloon. 1. Confetti sticks best and well. Aluminum foil confetti will also work, but make sure there is enough solution inside. 2. Massage the solution around the bottom of the balloon until the inside looks

Are biodegradable balloons safe for the environment?

100%  latex balloons   are made from natural rubber, which is an excellent renewable resource when sustainably harvested. These high quality balloons are indeed biodegradable and much less harmful to the environment than their mixed material counterparts. Although technically "natural," it still takes six months for latex to decompose naturally in a compost bin. However, when thrown into a landfill, it will remain intact for decades. Because the waste is so tightly packed and immediately covered with new waste, landfills don't have enough water and sunlight filtration to allow the waste to actually decompose. As a result, even paper, which breaks down easily in the soil, takes decades or more to end up in a landfill. That's why it's so important to recycle everything possible!   What is latex?  Latex is an elastic material made from rubber, made from the rubber tree usually found in Malaysia. These latex balloons are versatile. They can be made in a variety of col

Smaller balloons, such as the 5" size, may be more difficult to blow up without a pump. Blow up and tie all the balloons and set them aside. Try to inflate the balloons into a circle instead of an oval. Unfold the plastic balloon wreath tape. ▻ Secure your first 12" balloon.  Leave about 30 cm of balloon tape at the beginning.
