Thank you - much appreciated! I'd love to see what you create!! Tag us on instagram after your party! @gogoglamco

What are the 260 you are using?

How many balloons do we need to do something like You did???

Hope it went well!

Think balloon animal style balloons :) Long skinny and 260 is the size!

Yay! I really love this way of assembling!

Much appreciate!! Thank you :)

Thank you!! 😊

@@GoGoGlamCo you’re welcome ☺️

Thank you so much! Glad it helped!

I am so glad this was helpful! You can really do a lot of different types of clusters and still use the same techniques ;)

Thank you!! Once you realized you've got the basics down you can do SO much!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback :)

Perfect! Thank you for the feedback! Always great to know what lingering questions there are :)

Hi Sharon! Check out this video that is probably closer to what you might have on hand :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5dlmM2qz-DdioU.html& you can also save some of your 10" balloon pairs for the end and tie them into various parts of the garland to make it thicker!

Thank you! It is a long skinny balloon (think balloon animals lol) The 260 refers to the size of this style of balloon (it would be 2" thick if you inflated it) 260 is the perfect size, especially for this!

We use this size rubberband! www.officedepot.com/a/products/856225 If you are looking for smaller party sets, and a wide variety of colors/styles, we sell all of our balloons in our Etsy shop here : www.etsy.com/shop/GoGoGlamCo If you need larger bulk orders there are a lot of great bulk sellers online!

Thank you! The easiest way to get them tight is to pull the twister (or string) and push the balloons down towards the floor to get them nice and tight BEFORE you wrap. Once you wrap you can't tighten at all! I use my thumb on the cluster I am adding in to push it down into the garland. You'll hear me say that latex can pop and is "fragile" but on the flip side it is also very resilient to being squished down! I can shove garlands into trunks of cars with out worrying about them popping because in the first step where I inflate them, I am always over-inflating and then letting out air to make them round. This helps to give them more flexibility :)

Hi! This was a 12 foot garland so we used a total of (24) 16" Balloons (36) 11" Balloons and then I add about (60) 5" Balloons which you can check out in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNlym86anci4d2Q.html

Really just because it is easy to lose track of your pattern, especially when you are new to building! I generally do about 4 feet at a time and then connect them because then I don't have to backtrack and figure out where I am in my pattern. It isn't a huge deal if you alter or mess up the pattern but if you have a set amount of balloons you are working with, I think this helps keep organized :)

Hi Claudia! The final length in this video is 12 feet. (The thumbnail image at the beginning shows the 12 ft garland with a "side car" garland added on to make it extra full!) Are you wondering what we charge a client for a fully assembled garland? (want to make sure I answer your question correctly :)

Wondering as well!

For a 6 Foot garland you would need (12) 16" + (18) 11" and then I generally put about (10) 5" balloons per 2 feet. (I did a 12 foot build here so double that) I'll put that info in the comments section :) For smaller at home builds you can get premium balloon brands from our shop : www.etsy.com/shop/GoGoGlamCo or if you are doing much larger builds there are some great bulk sellers online!

Thank you! I will just tie the 260 around the base of the cluster of balloons where their tails are (basically where you have tied the sets of balloons together) Does that answer your question?

What is a 260? ​@@GoGoGlamCo

They do! I would prefer using ribbon over fishing line for this particular build because fishing line has a tendency to slip and cut through the balloons - since this build has so many more large balloons, pulling everything closer together gets a little trickier!

If you don't want to buy them in bulk you can grab them here! www.etsy.com/listing/1277022960/ Our garland kits also include them ;) Otherwise if you want to buy bulk packs just look for the size 260.

We do sell customizable kits and you can get this exact style here : www.etsy.com/listing/1470778385

They are called 260 Twister balloons! They are the type of balloons used for making balloon animals ;)

Thank you! Having a machine with a foot pedal helps LOL. The 5" balloons always get me though!

It's kind of tricky because it can change based on how you arrange the balloons around but I have gotten used to knowing roughly what 2 ft in balloons looks like lol. I use my arm as a ruler because I know where the 2 foot mark is on my arm so it gives me at least an estimate! I recommend measuring your arm to get comfortable with that space!! :) If you were just using 11" balloons you would need about 10-12 balloons for 2 feet and then I would do 4-6 more for fullness!

Hi Monica! We use this guy : premiumconwin.com/product/cool-aire-4/ If you are getting into the balloon decorating business, this is the BEST investment you could make! If you are just doing a few projects at home, a cheap $20 electric pump works fine! We have another video reviewing a few different options for inflating your balloons :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prqbnseH2sqbYWQ.html

You could do that!

We sell all of our balloons at www.GoGoGlamCo.com! Our preferred brands are Sempertex (also known as Betallatex), TufTex and Qualatex. These are all leading industry brands for balloon styling! On Amazon you tend to get a lot of product for cheap but the quality just isn't there. The balloons in this video are : Qualatex Spring Lilac Tuftex Baby Pink Sempertex Pastel Lilac

Hi Sasa! These are Qualatex Spring Lilac and Pink, and Sempertex Matte Lilac!

@GoGo Glam Co hi, yes, I found them on Etsy, but unfortunately they don't deliver it to Canada, do you know if there is a way to order it from Canada?

Imagine the first step of tying shoelaces together - same exact thing! (I twist the balloons around each other just to keep air escaping but it isn't really part of the tying process) You don't need to knot them - I tie them once and they are good

Hi! We use Tuftex, Sempertex and Qualatex brand balloons so when using those brands, you can definitely inflate and assemble 24-48 hours before hand! It is best to keep them in temp controlled areas and out of dank spots of the house or you could lose some to wilting. That being said, we have garlands and installs that are up for a week and often longer! Our shop has balloon garlands up for weeks before they really starts to look sad lol

Also how long would you say it takes you to make your Garland?

Assembling it doesn't take more than 10 minutes - it is inflating the balloons that takes a long time :) That will greatly depend on your machine! I am using 260q twister balloons to string the garland together (think balloon animal balloons)

@@GoGoGlamCo Amazing! Thank you so much for your help! 🎈🎈

I would say it takes on average 2 hours for most people with an electric pump. We have a quad inflator and so I can inflate the balloons a bit faster - this is the most time consuming part! Assembly itself takes almost no time!

Total balloons for the first part were : ✓ (24) 16” Balloons ✓ (36) 11” Balloons ✓ (60) 5" Balloons ;)

Hi! With out the extra side balloons (shown in thumbnail image) I used : ✓ (24) 16” Balloons ✓ (36) 11” Balloons ✓ (60) 5" Balloons

Sempertex, Tuftex and Qualatex are our favorite brands!

These are Qualatex and Sempertex!

We would love to try to do this!

That's right! I do tie the 260 at the beginning and at the very end but not in the middle :)
