The balloon arch package comes with adjustable clamps, a collapsible metallic rod much like these utilized in tenting tents, 50 plastic balloon clips to connect the balloons to the rod, and a handheld balloon pump.

When you don’t have a helper, lay the rod flat on the bottom, add all the balloons, then place it into the clamps.
Step 5: At this level, you’ll most likely wish to blow up extra balloons. It takes greater than you suppose it would. LOL. However when you’re proud of the look of your arch, tape the rods to the clamps with items of black Duck Tape so it gained’t transfer in the course of the celebration, simply in case.
Doesn’t it look so nice?! I’m actually happy with the large impression it had. The home felt SO festive and prepared for an enormous celebration. I like that!
