How to make a Dollar Tree Balloon Arch (no stand required!)🎈 

What were your high school colors? Drop an emoji below! Mine: 🧡🖤 (this would be perfect for a grad party! 👩‍🎓)

45 minutes?! I feel like this would take me 45 hours. lol It looks Amazing!

My sweet friend, If nobody has told you today, YOU ARE SUPER AMAZING!

That’s EXACTLY how I make the balloon arch over my sons grave each year on his birthday. It’s good and strong for uk weather so it really does work without a frame. Love those colours 🥰✝️💕

Looks so pretty! Just a little tip for you next time you do the balloon arch add the weight when you tie on your first balloon quad. You can also just put water inside of another balloon as your weight. Also instead of using ribbon you can use fishing wire it gives you a little more stability on your arch just check the thickness of the fish string by lbs when you buy it. And lastly to make the balloon a little bit darker if you’re using dollar store balloons layer them one inside the other when you blow them up and it’ll give you a darker effect.

I've seen many balloon arch tutorials but always felt they were too much. This video makes it so much easier for me to understand! I have a 1 year old birthday party next weekend and I feel confident doing this thanks to you!

I make arches a lot and My tip is you really don’t have to twist the ribbon around all four balloons each time, honestly twisting around one will hold it in place, maybe two if it’s going to be outside in the wind 😋

When I was an Activity Director in Assisted Living homes for senior citizens, for every event my director would want a balloon arch, but my activity budget never could afford the one's you saw in the activity catalogs. Amazing that you were able to do it so cheaply and it looks professionally made!

I appreciate this tutorial! I made a balloon arch following these instructions two days ago for my daughter's 18th birthday party just yesterday. You never mentioned just how hard it is to tie two balloons together, lol! I couldn't get the little tie-helper-thingy that came with the balloon pump to work, so we did them all by hand and it was hard on us. Our balloons were from Party City, so maybe they were less stretchy or something, but if I did it again I would try to get some tiny rubber bands (like for braces) and just tie each balloon by itself then use the rubber bands to make the pairs. Also, I don't recall if you stressed it much in the video, but it really is important to NOT over-inflate. My husband kept making them pear-shaped and then pairing different sizes, so it was tougher to make them lay flat in the "flower" as I stacked and swirled. Here is a tip if you run out of balloons or just get too tired to keep going (both happened to us!): In order to make the top of the arch high enough, we set the bottoms on chairs, which also helped keep the ends in place because I forgot about adding weights. We had a decorative bench under it and a backdrop behind it for photos, so it worked out well. My daughter was tickled and I am pretty proud of my new skill. Thank you for the video!

Thanks for sharing🤗

Kathryn, the timing of this video is perfect. I am hosting a bridal shower and I would've never thought I could do that if it weren't for you. I bet this will help others planning baby showers, birthday parties, graduation, etc. You are amazing, love when you include your family too. Thank you again!

Had to giggle about the beanie sending you to college. I bought my daughter an owl that had a typo in the poem and was told to “hang onto it! It’ll be worth major $$$!” Nope! But she sure loved her beanie collection. 🤣 Love to you all! 🥰

Amazing Job 👏🏻🌈🎈🎈🎈🎈

Awesome 👏 video. So easy to follow

I love this !!!

Just in time for my daughter's birthday party!!! Thank you! 🙂

So beautiful

Very nice balloon arch I may have to try it

Beautiful! Just a little note if anyone has a latex sensitivity, sometimes the balloons in the dollar tree bags come with a lot of powder and can trigger to the skin and nose when handling and inflating them. I had to forego the DIY because this happened to me but if you and your helpers are ok this is definitely worth it!

Thank you getting ready to do this for my daughter baby shower❤

I’ve watched over 20 videos on how to do this and yours has been the most helpful! Thank you🥹

I’ve been looking for an easy diy balloon arch!! Thank you SO much for this video!!!

That is beautiful 😻❤️

Did this same method for making an arch for my daughters birthday party back in January with Walmart and Dollar Tree balloons. Made it the day before and was worried about the balloons deflating before her party the next day. Not only did they stay up perfectly but we moved it up to her bedroom and just popped it over the weekend because she was tired of it taking up space. That thing lasted 3 months! So good! 👍

Great tutorial. I could even follow your directions.

This looks awesome. Could you did a vid with cheap wedding diy? I’m getting married and I want to do my own centerpieces or just cut cost wherever I can without looking too cheap.

This is great and I think I could do it 😄. I'd love to see some more party 🥳 and kids DIY projects.

Great Job!

Beautiful! Big hugs to you!

I love the video thank you so much I just cannot stand the sound of balloons it gives me Goosebumps, But this is a great idea for my sister's baby shower coming up

I love balloon art. I did a whole big display including an arch for my brother’s retirement party this past January. Everyone LOVED it! I’ll be doing them for EVERY occasion now. I think I’m tied to them since everyone saw what I made. (No pun intended 😂). Yours came out beautifully. 😍 Tfs sweetie. Have a wonderful day.🤗

Oh, what a beautiful sight, and what a beautiful family. God bless u, this is a treasure. Thanks for sharing. 🥰🙏🌷🐇❤️👍🐰🌟✝️🐣🐑👏🐥🌼

Happy Wednesday! Wow that’s so beautiful done!! Awesome kids! Thank you for sharing this beautiful time with me and as always stay safe and blessed to you and your family.

Just in time for my son's first birthday and my oldest's 3rd birthday! I can't wait to see their reactions because they both love balloons at this age. 😍

Miss, you are a genius! I hope your family appreciates you. You have way more patience than I have. Beautiful you and you are way more than enough! ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

You make me smile!

Going to attempt to recreate this for my son graduation next month.

🌈🌈🌈🌈 Wow! This is great! Thank you so much for sharing!

Very nice.

GIIIIRRRLLL THIS NEEDS MORW VIEWS!!!!Z IM TOTALLY DOING THIS THANK YOUUUU

I think a music recital falls into the party category! 🎶🎉 Thank for the instructions!

This is awesome!!! Thank you!!!! 🎉

I love dollar tree new stuff. 😍

Love love I thought it was a baby announcement 🙌🏻💜 love all your videos .

Well done ! Knowing how to do this would save literally hundreds of $$$

Perfect for Vacation Bible school theme this year! Thank you so much.

I 💕 Love pastel colored rainbows 🌈.

This is a cute very basic balloon arch. Impressive!

Super cute!!

Yesss I definitely have all my kids parties to plan !!! You helped this mama out so much thank you ❤

OMGOODNESS I will be trying this for my nephew and wife's baby shower. Thank you for all your ideas God bless you and your family always.

So cute and such an easy way to connect the balloons. This was much easier that the way I did it as a teacher sponsor of the 8th grade semi-formal several years ago(retired now, yippee!). I tied balloons to PVC pipe that my husband bent into an arch frame and connected to a base.

I actually love the pastels maybe it’s because all I see is the dark colored ones so it’s different and refreshing. These are amazing and they look so expensive. Could you imagine having an arch like this around the doorway when a mom is coming home with her baby? When we adopted our son my mom had decorated my front lawn and our living room to welcome us home because it took a week until we were able to come back home and it was so special.

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

So pretty! Kathryn! I've seen people use the pool noodles from Dollar Tree n make arches then tack the balloons! Great job😎😍

Wow!! Who knew it wasn't so difficult....you did!! Thanks for sharing.

Wow nice!!!

My sister's birthday is today, and I made her a balloon arch following your tutorial. She loves it!

How fun!! We are planning my daughters 3rd birthday this summer and wanted to do a rainbow balloon arch for it. This is perfect!

Love this. Thanks so much for a wonderful, clear tutorial!!!

I am throwing an 80s party and need a tutorial on making an Arch. Thank you so much for this

Love it!!! Thanks for the inspo

Wow 😱the balloon arch turned out so good I have a almost 2 year old niece to have a balloon arch for her birthday with be perfect I like that you are able to get every thing from dollar tree

wow the ribbon is so smart, i saw people using rubber bands but i think this is a much more cost efficient method

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Omg what a great arch and done so cheap, thank you for sharing x

I make these for every party/event. They don't take long to make at all and they make such a dramatic effect for a ow cost. With the fishing line you are able to twist and turn the balloon garland into any shape. I highly recommend these for people with little to no experience, it's really super easy.

Just in time for my sister-in-law-to-be's bridal shower I'm hosting in June!

Very Much so Fantabulous & Wonderful Idea's w Balloons ! & Kathryn...You Are Enough... Love & Hug's Always V 🥰
