Instructions:
• Create a four-balloon cluster using 16” balloons. To do
this, helium inflate and size two balloons, then tie the
necks together. Repeat to make a second pair, then twist
the two pairs together.
• Double stuff the pearl light blue balloons into the “Entwined
Hearts” balloons. To do this, insert a 11” pearl light blue
latex into an “Entwined Hearts” latex. Place the neck of
the pearl light blue over the helium nozzle and inflate. To
tie, stretch the neck of the pearl light blue balloon out,
wrap around the outside balloon, and tie. Repeat step
one using double stuffed 11” balloons to create a second
four-balloon cluster.
• Wrap the two clusters together using monofilament line,
making sure the 11” balloons nest below the 16” ones.
This will create the top of your design.
• Double stuff seven more “Entwined Hearts” with pearl
light blue balloons, and air inflate to 9”. Attach each balloon to the tulle.
• Arrange the air-inflated balloons as desired and tie the
ends of the tulle to the helium-filled clusters.
