Five Easy Ways to Make a Balloon Garland
I’m not sure if everyone gets as excited about balloons as I do, but I’m pretty pumped to try out my first balloon garland! I am decorating for a first communion party this weekend. All the decor has been ordered and arrived! We are going for a serene color palette, but with a modern twist. The little girl who will be receiving her first communion, requested a pink, white, and gold first communion party. You can see more from the party vision board HERE!
I’ve already started to put together the decor and complete a few small DIY projects associated with the event. I’m loving the simple DIY First Communion Party Sign that I put together using a customizable alphabet banner and flowers from the Dollar Store!
The balloon garlands will be the most time consuming pieces of decor that I’ll need to make ahead of time. I’m planning to use pink, white, and gold balloons to create the large garland in the entry foyer and the small one above the dessert table.
While preparing for the balloon garland making, I’ve done plenty of research and come up with a plan that works best for me. I scoured Pinterest for some easy ways to make a balloon garland. That means without chicken wire and WITH an automatic air pump!
I’m going to use fishing line and command hooks to hang my balloon garland. We are using three different sizes (12 inch, 9 inch, and 5 inch) and colors of balloons (pink, white, and gold). Glue gun or glue dots?? Not sure what I’ll use yet to adhere the smaller balloons to the garland. The final and most important question is, should I try to add some flowers to the balloon garland!? I think they are so pretty, but they’ll increase the cost! We shall see!

This is the first balloon garland that caught my eye! I mean look at the serene white backdrop with the tiny pops of pink! I’m going for a similar color palette for the first communion.
