[@Evee101]

Isela like this one are so helpful because we see all of your trial and error, or just simply the thought process. Love love your videos. Your helping me decorate my home for my babies birthday. Thank you thank you.

[@lifeofsabinadiane4339]

I'm glad to see a balloon popped because mine always do and when I watch KZbin vids they never pop. Glad it wasn't just me.

[@feliciahill7209]

Just wanted to thank you for your tutorial...my client wanted columns and I wanted to change it up a little so I remembered watching this video and I tried it ...she loved it..I still have some work ons but as long as God keeps guiding me I'll get there...thankyou again for you tutorials

[@monique-michellesmith786]

Thanks Lakeisha for your information on making the quads. It was a much easier design and using the mattress bags to carry the balloons it was so much easier to carry and plenty of space for the balloons!!

[@TheEssenceofEboni]

Aww look at your little helper. So cute!!!

[@40angel1]

Thank you for sharing your talent with us. You are truly appreciated and blessed.

[@leslieware3492]

[@kaymayaweddingmore242]

Just started following you because I needed to make my first floor arch. Love your work and I am going to be practicing the column next bit with my own spin on mine. And now I am adding columns to my new business Kay’Maya Wedding & More.

[@SharpeDesignsbyLakeisha]

You are more than welcome!!💕

[@trendy3102]

Omg you're so clever using the lamp stand as your balloon stand. I'm going to try that for an event this weekend. Keep the videos coming I love your work!

[@iriethebeatiful]

Hi Lakeisha I tried this method for a Mickey Column and it came out great. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@lulum1400]

Love it but i have questions.. how do you take the column to the venue? I know you use a van but i mean how do you carry it out with all the balloons lol also would love for you to show how you do your clusters. Love that you add dimension and its not just size 5 inch. Also how do you get the stand that tall?? Do you buy extra stands and adjust by adding more of the sticks?? Thank you in advance

[@nancyaguirre-mercado6558]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Every time I watch your videos I am inspired to create 😁 Love your work!

[@deirtraneals5213]

Yes sis u are amazing. How would you do a freestanding arch outside to ensure it doesn't blow in the wind??

[@Royalty-604]

Giiiiiiirrrrrrllllll you inspired me to start decorating my own parties 🎉 without a planner I can now help my self my my child’s parties thanks much for the video ❤️

[@dinkins05]

Love love love your videos! You are so talented and I think you for breaking it down. I am still learning how to take balloon garlands to the next level and have been studying your videos for quite some now. My first event is this Sunday and very excited to see how it’s gonna turn out. Keep posting! I like to learn more from you. ☺️

[@yossijy]

So beautiful! I will try it 💕💕💕

[@marylowery2145]

I love all of your designs!! I’ve learn so much from you. I have a question what do you do for outside balloon garlands how do you keep them from popping

[@michellelee1123]

Those are so beautiful! Thank you!❤️

My 1st event doing balloon decor is tomorrow. Thank you so much

[@jezreelgve]

This is so beautiful

[@shellamomma9662]

Beautiful work! I have a couple questions for you though! How did you transport these? And what do you do for “clean up”? How do you get your equipment back?

[@preetichhabra7281]

Thanks a lot fort this tutorial. Please advise how to take to to the venue without damaging or bursting balloons? Thanks

[@paulahall-mann2490]

Simply beautiful, colorful and creative 💙💛❤

[@SharpeDesignsbyLakeisha]

Thanks so much!! 💕

[@royaldiadem762]

Can’t wait! Are those 14’ or 16’ the largest size on the sizer? Ok, 8’, 10’ got it! So you don’t do clusters all around?

[@courtneypittman8712]

Love all of your work!!! You have been an inspiration for me to start my own balloon business in Atlanta. I wanted to know how do you transport your assembled columns to your events? Do you leave the balloons on the stands and load the truck with them standing?

[@Lynnettejoi]

I don't know if you know but low temp glue sticks work great to glue the balloons or just about anything to the balloons

[@SharpeDesignsbyLakeisha]

Hi. Yes I’ve tried. I hate it. Thanks though😄

[@olympiajohnson7200]

Hello I’m new to the channel would you be able to tell me about how many of each size you used? Love your videos

[@shannonguidry4109]

Hello LaKeisha....I just recently subscribes to your channel. You are a true inspiration. I made my 1st dyi arch for my grandson b-day & want to do 1 for my sister wedding in Feb. How did you make the the butterflies stay on without popping a balloon

[@thereyesfam9642]

Your work always amazes me!

[@BrowHausBeaute]

Love your work

[@Datsz9810]

I’ve been watching like crazy, and you truly are so inspiring!!! 🤩 Im interested in a ‘post- event’ kind of video. like how/when do you collect your materials or do you allow your clients to keep them? like your columns and other props.

Sempertex or Qualatex ? What is the difference, and which one do you prefer to use OUTDOOR ? Btw I LOVE YOUR WORK !!!!!!! 🤍😍

[@cindileux]

Hi Lakeisha! I'm curious how you communicate color with your clients? Do they ever get upset, if for example, your blue doesn't match exactly to their blue? I love your style- as a maker and a mommy!

[@SharpeDesignsbyLakeisha]

I haven't had that happen yet. If I am unsure about a balloon choice Im making, ill send it over to confirm the color. I have only had to do that once. I also ask for inspiration photos for the event to see the colors being used as well.

[@cindileux]

Sharpe Designs by Lakeisha Thanks!

[@gcdadanceacdemy2748]

Hello Lakeshia I really love all your designs. I want to know do you use your lamp stand outside?

[@sherylsterling2772]

Thank u so much for all the knowledge u share!!!! Question...why is it when I do a garland a few of my ballons deflate??

[@amandab9362]

Love your work! The color schemes are so much fun to see. I'm a new subscriber and wondering if you do any of these garlands or frameworks for the outside? Also wondering what you like best: making a garland and fixing it to the frames/poles or using quads? Thanks for showing us so much!

[@kaylacardona7499]

Thank you so much ! You’re literally the besttt 💕

[@onetrueheart]

You can use glue dots too. I saw that in another video and it worked fine

[@lsolidum8942]

I'm so glad that you're back on yt decorating again. I'm curious if that pump has ever overheated on you and is there another brand of more expensive pump you're interested on trying?

[@SharpeDesignsbyLakeisha]

I haven't had any issues with it and I've been using the same one since I started playing around with balloons. its been about 3 years. I did purchase a backup one and I haven't had to use it yet. Ive seen more expensive pumps, but this one gets the job done for me.

[@akelialove2614]

You are an inspiration I made my own dessert cart what was the surprise?? Welcome back

[@ActionPaction1]

I love these colors and your work is amazing, can you specify which shade of pink and blue used here?

[@kristendls5830]

When you make your columns, do you get the stands back? Or include the price of the stand in the service?

[@sucettyb]

Wow you're so amazing! Love this piece of art. For the lamp stands, is the length adjustable? I am looking to create a 5' column and then add the 3' foil on top... any suggestions

[@peggyk.738]

I'm wanting the same, and I'm not sure if the lamp stands can be shorter. I hope you get an answer because it will help me also!

[@sucettyb]

@@peggyk.738 I actually bought them, and you can remov/add parts of the long rod to make it the length you need. I used it last weekend and they worked perfectly!!!! Get it!

[@doreenancheta7551]

For the balloon column, using the floor lamps, did u remove the wiring and lamp top?

I have a question, I hope it doesn't sound crazy. Do the clients keep the stands you're using for the columns? I forgot to say hi.

That’s a great question

Love this look! I have an event coming up and I want to construct the columns at home first. Any tips on how you transported this without the balloons popping?

How do you tie the big 36 inch balloons? I can’t seem to find how to tie those, since they get really super tight around my fingers. My alternative was to just twist the end and tie one of those little tiny elastics around it. Is that what you do? Or is there a way to tie them?

[@karensotelo948]

I have a question! when you set up balloon table arch/columns for your client, do you let them keep the arch and columns? or do you come back at the end of the event to break everything down? or the next day? I have mostly everything I need to start a small service for parties but I haven't really advertise bc I'm still quite confused on this part lol arches are a bit expensive to let clients keep them? I would love to hear what you have to say I love your videos, I have been watching them to prepare myself. please helppp lol

Hey! Good question! She answered two up before your question by Lisa Montelonge. Wish you well on your balloon journey!
