This is perfect timing for me. I am setting up my first arch and column decor this evening and have been watching your videos for the past two weeks. The tidbit about not putting the joint of the pvc in the top center was something I did not know. Thank goodness I had three pieces of pipe bought already. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. It means so much to me.

You are the best, a life-saver, I was heading to Party City to buy a $60 stand that was small (and over-priced). Now I'm going to make one. I'm subscribing and liking.

awww thanks! Here's the link to a video on how to make my hat... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKXHqal8oaigbM0 :~)

[@pearlaudelo1366]

I bought a party city arch, it was crap wouldnt stand straight, the bottom are water filled balloon things. Just a horrible disaster! We ran around home depot looking for everything found a cool employee who watched this video with us! Ahhh ahhh.. it can out so AWESOME. Side note : the grey pvc with the bells are NOT with the pvc it's with electrical stuff.. & We used really pretty pavers from the garden area as the bottom gave a nice weigh down. Thank you, thank you, so much ♡

[@annabell1737]

Pearl audelo that's such a great idea but how did you connect the pvc (electrical pipe) to the concrete paver

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Cool! Come join my facebook group either DIY BALLOON ART or BEGINNING BALLOON PROFESSIONALS and post your pix :~)

Hi Sandi! Thanks for sharing this tutorial with us... I just used it to make a balloon arch for my church grand opening and it came out real nice!!! Thanks again, I'm about to purchase your books to learn so much more from you.....

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Awesome!! I'm glad it worked out! Thank you for the support!! :~)

[@sanbell9000]

Hi Sandi thanks for replying to me I thought PVC and plastic were two different materials but I since found out that they are the same. I am going to make a balloon arch for an event and it is my first time and I am a bit nervous so I just wanted to make sure I buy all the right things.. Thanks again.

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

How did it go?

[@lauriemyers3]

Love you, girl! Always making me smile!

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Awww thanks! :~)

[@themagicofconrad]

This was so helpful! Thanks a bunch.

[@andrewrupert9796]

If you were trying to make this more of a circle how would you change the base? looking at making a floral one like this for my wedding in July. LOVE this tutorial though, best help i have found so far.

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

If you want it perfectly round you would need to frame it that way - maybe by bending emt, but it's a much more complicated style of framing :~)

[@donnaspencer3948]

Thanks for sharing Sandi

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Thanks! :~)

[@marinebrothers]

Hi Sandi! How big of an arch could you make with this method? Do you think you could make an arch that’s like 35 feet with this method? Do you think an arch of that size will hold up outdoors using this method? Thanks for your videos, they are inspirational!!

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

I would say around 35' max on this style of arch. It def works outdoors :~) If you need extra weight, get some 10-25 lb free weights and slide them between the balloons and the baseplate :~)

[@mariecaroniaplotkin5268]

great job, but would be helpful at the end to quickly repeat the supply list. PVC is the bendable plastic- what were the aluminum or metal straight pieces at the base of ea side called? couldn't hear what you said. Im supposing this can't be transported and it was installed at the venue?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

the metal pieces are EMT ( electrical metal tubing). In my books I lay out the written recipe. You can find all my books on Amazon ;~).

[@deannamiller9869]

HI. Could you provide a shopping list - i can see myself in Lowes with the video walking around the store. Great tutorial!!

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

sure ~ 2 pieces of wood 2' x 2' each. 2 flanges, 3/4" , 2 3/4" threaded 10" pipes, 2 pieces of 4' EMT, 3 pieces of schedule 40 3/4" pvc (the grey one from electrical that has the bell connectors on the end). :~)

[@dominiquethomas4975]

Sandi Balloon the grey pvc that makes the centerpiece is that a different pvc pole because i dont see the bells on that one

[@lynnharrison8743]

Are the "2 pieces of 4' EMT" the 1/2 inch?

[@ninawalker8311]

What size is the 4' emt

[@dancetoloose]

Hi, great details. I listened and followed exactly what you said, the arch was beautiful. However, it was a windy day. How do I prevent the arch from falling over on a windy day outside?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

You could use extra weight on the bases (like free weights) and also use a larger diameter pvc - like 3/4" or 1" even. :~)

[@MicheledoesLife]

Hi can you make it smaller by just getting say 6 ft pieces instead of 8 ft? Also, do you have a video about making the base? You have the best direction and video I've seen yet!! THANK YOU~

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

You probably could do it with 3 6' pieces, but having said that, I have to admit that I haven't tried it with smaller pieces, so I'm not entirely sure how it would turn out. Give it a shot and let me know :~)

[@Sharonc012]

love your tutorial, I have the hardest time finding bendable pvc for the middle

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

You should be able to get it from any hardware store. It's in the electrical section I think, and is the grey schedule 40 pvc. :~)

[@Sharonc012]

Sandi Masori Balloons I brought 2 scheduled 40 and the top piece will not bend

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Ahhh.... that's the problem, you need 3 pieces. Like I described in the video, you want the stress to be on the side, not the top. The top piece will bend gently, which is what you want. :~)

[@Sharonc012]

maybe because it was 6ft and not 8

[@kreativelykrafty6044]

Sandi , thanks for the great tutorial. Please tell me the size cut schedule 40 pvc? I know to purchase 3 pieces 3/4 inch. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Its very much helpful

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

I usually have them cut to 8' each :~)

[@bronwynrodgers699]

Thanks I will be looking for that type of video.

[@shannonmeschnark7496]

Hi Sandi. I just want to start off by thanking you for this video. I'm needing to make one of these for our baby shower coming up. I'm however not wanting it as big, however, im not wanting it as small as your other 1 person arch video. Im hoping to stick to around 120 balloons or so. Do you think I can achieve that by cutting the three PVC pipes to like 4 or 5 ft instead of your 8? Thanks so much

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

If you want a small one person arch, I would use the other style. You could do 2 columns with the emt and base plate and then use PEX or a hula hoop for the curved part at the top :~)

[@thewashingtonspost1412]

Hi Sandy, I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Quick question, is this arch ok for outdoor use too? I love the cost for these materials, but I worry that they may topple if the wind blows. What can I do to keep this from happening

[@virginiak6755]

This might be a silly question, but is it possible to make one lower say, 5 or 5.50 foot tall or even a bit lower? What size pipes would I use for that? I need it for a wedding decoration project, and I want the flowers to be right above the newlyweds, who would be seated. Thank you!.

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

sure you can make it any size you want. Just remember to use an odd number of poles. :~) So a 15' arch would be 3 5' pieces :~)

[@aleysaarriaga3708]

Hello! I love your videos! How far in advance do you blow up your balloons?

[@Volunteerballoons]

I used this method once and didn't tape the connection points.. they were very tight (so they seemed). I was almost done and then the pressure from the balloons split the connectors! Thank goodness the client wasn't around to witness the fiasco!

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

yeah, always best to tape connections, just in case ;~)

[@sandrabrooksBrown]

Can you please tell me what size flinges to use and what size threaded pipe to use

[@vtheramot]

Hi Sandie, I want to do an arch that will be 7 feet. I baught a 1/2 " pipe 10" , to do the arc . Then I'll use 2 other stick ( pvc or metal ) wich will be use to support the arc. Do I need to cut the pipe that will do the arc in half ?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

You want to always use 3 pieces so the stress is not on the center. If the arch is only 7' though you may want to do a "U" shaped arch instead of a wide one. Like this... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZWbioyte66bbac :~)

[@brendagarza8642]

Thank you Sandy for showing us this awsome video! I was wondering how would you figure out what size poles to use for a smaller arch?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

If the arch is less than 24' I would use 2 poles with PEX, alum rod or a hula hoop for the top. This method (in the video) is good if you want a wide arch instead of a narrow arch. :~)

[@mimenmimen5416]

Hello! It's fantastic. Simply and fantastic, thank you. Have you got any ideas how to make the stand for an owl arch with big eyes? Thank you once more :)

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Hmmm.... I'll add it to my list :~)

[@patricemurray7931]

Nice , thankyou so much😀

[@821vovo]

Love your tutorials. I find that when I make columns or arches I can still see the poles. Don't know if I am doing something wrong or is it normal?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

The most important thing is that the balloons are all sized correctly. If that's not the issue, then it could be that you're packing the quads too loosely or too tight. From certain angles, you might see the pole no matter what, which is why I usually cover my frames with black duck tape :~)

[@821vovo]

Ok. Thank you very much for your help

[@Phins_Up_314]

Thanks Sandi!

[@evettemitchell5215]

Hi shadra

[@swilli06]

thank you for the tutorial! How much in materials would this set up cost?

[@Shoponpointe]

Hi can you tell me about the stands that you made with the wood or do you have a video tutorial on how to create those

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

I have a video, but I can tell you -- it's a piece of 2'x2' plywood, a flange, a threaded pipe and a piece of emt, all available from the local hardware store.

[@sylviaamado9098]

Gosh! You're the best!! I have a couple of questions for you, but first let me say, I wish I would've seen this awesome video before I bought the Aero System :(...The EMT pole that you mention, is it the same as a conduit pole and can you buy it with the thread already on it or do you have to ask the store to do that for you? Thank you in advance. :)

[@Volunteerballoons]

Don't diss your Aeropole system... This method is effective & inexpensive but the Aeropole is worth every penny!

[@sylviaamado9098]

Okay, thank you..:)

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

I love my aeropoles. Even though I can make my own frames, if I'm only making one or two arches, the aeropole is my first go to because it's easy to transport and simple to assemble. :~)

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Yes, I believe that conduit and EMT are the same thing. You can get it already threaded, but I've found it easier to get the threaded pipe and the emt separately. But, that's just me ;~)

[@angelinaloa6018]

What is the largest size arch you think you can get with the aeropole system?

[@angelinaloa6018]

What's the largest arch you think you can make using this method? What size was this arch?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

That's a good question. This one is 24', I'm not sure how big I would be comfortable with- I haven't done larger than 24' personally, but I know others have done 40' or more. :~)

[@diywithhidimountel1375]

Hi, I wish you would have lift below what all you used to make this arch:( I had to watch it twice just to see what all you used and the size lol yes I'm slow I don't catch on easily 🤯🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤯🤣🤣🤣 I love everything you do it's all so amazing. 💞

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Sorry, I'll try to remember that, but usually I'm uploading the videos in batches and trying to go fast lol. The full written recipes are available in my books that you can get on Amazon though. :-)

[@kreativelykrafty6044]

Thanks so much for sharing.

[@lavonnaevans2556]

Do you have a list of things you need to make the arch? Can it be used outdoors?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Yes, you can def use this outdoors. Just make sure that you use plywood and not pressboard. For the written recipe, check out my books on Amazon. I think that the instructions for this one are in the DIY Balloon Bible Themes and Dreams. :~)

[@marthalewis3769]

Hi what can I use to make sure my balloons are the same side

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

You can make a sizer template with a box like this... kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2eqc3x3aJl-qqM

[@youniqueballoons8965]

Hi Sandi Thank you for sharing..if i wanted to build an Arch outdoors do i use EMT and a 24" base ? Or what hardware i would need ? Thanks so much..

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

PVC will work, just make sure to really tape up the joints :~)

[@youniqueballoons8965]

+Sandi Masori Balloons thank you. will do

[@N00N3Noone]

Hi I'm a new subscriber I love all your videos! I have a question about how long does it take to fill this arch with balloons? And how much time in advance can I make it?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Thanks!! Well, how long it takes depends on you~ it's different for everyone, so it's difficult to answer that question. You can inflate the balloons a couple days in advance as long as they're air-filled. :~)

[@MaryElizabeth-hw7sg]

Sandy, where we can get the heavy metal plates?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Check with your local distributor or local welders - they can make them for you. :~)

[@soniquadenisemayes9875]

Love your personality!! ☺ If i wanted to make a full circle would i use this same method but connect at the other ends also? TIA! 🤗

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Thanks!! I think that would work, but having said that, I've never tried it. Test it out and let me know :~)

[@tabbysullivan4337]

Hi Sandy, when taking down the arch do you have any trouble separating the PVC where the bells connect? Help?😞 Thanks so much for all you do😊

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Sometimes you have to kinda wrench them apart, but it's not usually a problem :~)

[@sanbell9000]

Hi Sandi I have just google bells now I know what they are but is grey pvc stronger than the white pvc and if so can I cut the grey pvc in four or not. Thanks

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

If you can, try for an odd number of pieces, not an even number . 5 is better than 4 :~) Also, it would be better to buy more pieces to cut down, so that you still have all the bell ends. If you're trying to use the white connectors, you could run into issues

[@christinevega3568]

How long is the threaded pipe on the flange need to be?

[@bronwynrodgers699]

Hi Sandi. Your videos are always very helpful. I have trouble getting letters like C to stay straight on top of my balloon columns. Can u help with this

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Sometimes you need to have 2 attachment points and bring them together just under the balloon, and then use that point to actually tie it in. I'll try to make a video on it if I can, but no promises as to when :~)

[@cailynmorrison2607]

Hi there. Thanks so much for this, it is going to help so much. Just one question... How many balloons would you recommend for a 24ft arch?

[@cailynmorrison2607]

And sorry also, how big would you make the balloons?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

It's about 200 balloons if you inflate them to about 8" each (11" latex). My standard size arch is 24-25' :~)

[@petuniabernard4737]

Hey Sandi. In instances where the pvc slips over the conduit, do you still secure it with duct tape? I mean like where the pvc would come into contact with the flange... Would you secure it there?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

If you have a 3- 4' piece of conduit, there's no reason to use the tape, it won't slip off ;~)

[@cindyyang2183]

Hi, I'm trying to make this for my son's first birthday. How high is the arch? Thank You

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

The height of the arch depends on the width of the arch. The wider it is, the shorter, the taller, the narrower :~)

[@toniholman1710]

I like your videos. We are hoping to do a large drive through balloon arch for our school graduation because of Social Distancing. Would this work for something that large and if not could you recommend materials that would support something that big? The kids will be really excited if we can make one of those fun flower arches since they usually walk through a garden arch covered in flowers. Just trying to do something special. Thanks!

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

sorry if I saw this too late. Yes, this arch would work, but you would want to make it 30-35' and be sure to use the 3/4" pvc not the 1/2". :-)

[@claudiameza1651]

gracias por enseñarnos como hacerlo, saludos

[@mariathomas6906]

Hi Sandi! Just want to know where to get that metal base?

[@Mercedesayso]

Hi Sandi, if you had purchased the correct PVC Schedule 40 -3/4 inch. You said it would slide over the EMT, but would it slide down to over the 3/4 threaded pipe? Just curious making some outdoor 8ft topiary poles trying to keep the base plate simple and clean at the bottom because there will be no topiary at the bottom only the top of the pole. Any other suggestions for ground poles would be nice. Thanks

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

It wouldn't slide over the threaded pipe, only the emt. To hide the threaded pipe, either bring the arch all the way down, or use linens to wrap around and hide it. If you're not using a baseplate though, you can just drive the emt into the ground, or use rebar driven into the ground.

[@quiaviniade]

Do you have another video how to put the balloons on the arch?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Yep, several. Here you go... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6LLnKV5fbGinrs , that's for a star pattern. If you want a spiral pattern, you can just start at the bottom instead of the middle :~)

[@jacquiestackhouse498]

hello sandi i just need to know what is the size that i need to get the emt cut down to

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

I generally cut them to 8'. Remember that 2 need to keep the bells and one should be bell-less :~)

[@melissayoung3157]

hello could i put magicarch balloons on an arch made like this? Thank you!

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Yes, but you would want to make sure the emt and pvc are the right size for the poles on the side so that they will slide over instead of being taped. This way if you need to add balloons because some go down you can slide it off the pole and add the balloons to the end.... :~)

[@amydeschenes5545]

if I were to make a 30' arch would it be better to have three 10' pieces? Thanks-I watch all your videos. You're super!

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

It's always better to have an odd number of pieces. It keeps the stress off the center and puts it into a more stable part of the arch :~)

[@callieoops3694]

Sandi, I am looking into getting a Zephyr arch kit. It is said to be a 9 ft x 11 ft arch. Will that be able to go over a set of four 6 ft registration tables? I am not adventurous enough to buy ild one myself yet and have a job (my first) in 3 weeks! Help!!! Thanks!

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

I've never tried that one, so I can't tell you how good it is or how it will hold up. If you'll be doing a lot of them, you can't go wrong investing in an aeropole. It's expensive, but you'll get it back with one or two sales. :~)

[@callieoops3694]

Sandi Balloon Thanks for your reply. I did look into the Aropole kit. It is definitely expensive! I see your point in that it will pay for itself in a couple jobs but I just don't have the resources. I will probably go with the Zephyr now. It is an easy setup for me.

You're so awesome. I have a question. How many balloons in total did you use in this arch?

Sandi when I make a balloon table arch (6 - 8 foot table) it always seems to be weak and tips either to the front or the back. What am I doing wrong or what can I do to make the top of the arch stronger? I am using the standard balloon table arch kit.

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Your problem is that the arch kit you're using sucks. Try using 2 columns w/ a cut hula hoop between them instead ;~)

[@Auhailbree]

So I might be able to do a quarter arch with a tent pole if I can weight my columns technically

[@coleennemeth4150]

thanks for sharing! do you ever need weights to keep the arch from moving and if so what do you use for the weights.

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

If it's super windy, it's always a good idea to have some extra weight. I use either sandbags (like from camera or lighting industry) or 10- 25 lb free weights. I just slide it onto the baseplate under the balloons after it's all put together :~)

[@mikehizon8629]

You could do 2 5' pieces on the side and a 10' piece across the top for a 20' linear arch. That would give you more of an upside down U shape I think :-)

Can this arch stand be used outside?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Yes, totally. Just make sure to tape the connection points well for added stability. :~)

Hi Sandi, what bolts or screws are you using for the flange ?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Either wood screws, or better yet, carriage bolts :~)

[@reshmisingh5427]

Is there anyway i can make my balloon arch smaller...my arch frame is so huge...

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

For a smaller arch you want to do it this way... but use PEX instead of ceiling tile wire... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZWbioyte66bbac I have a new video on this coming soon. :~)

Hi sandi I only found 5’ emt would that work??

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

yeah, I get the 10' emt and have it cut into a few pieces, it works out cheaper that way too :~)

[@sanbell9000]

Hi Sandi I have asked you some questions before regarding the PVC poles and you have answered them I know this is a year later but I hope you can help me again. I have 2 10ft PVC poles but could I cut them into four pieces and use them with connectors to make my balloon arch frame . I have used the 2 poles together before to do two balloon arches but I was wondering if I cut them in four pieces would they still uphold my balloons when I do my arches and it would be easier for me to carry around. Thanks. Keep up the good work.😄

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

In general you always want to use odd number so poles, not even. That way the stress is not pulling at the connection in the center. Also, use the grey plumbing pvc with the bells instead of the white with connectors :~)

[@sanbell9000]

Hi what are bells?,,,,,,,,,,

hi, how long do the balloons last before they start running out of air??

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

air-filled balloons can last a week or better and still look good :~)

[@sulaynovoa5688]

Do you have to tape up the bells part where they connect for extra security?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

I don't always do that, but it never hurts ;~)

[@sulaynovoa5688]

Sandi Balloon thanks for responding and thank you for your videos love ya!

[@oscarescobar7075]

What size is the flange and emt pipe?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

the flange is 3/4", the threaded pipe also 3/4" and the emt is 1/2" :~)

[@sulaynovoa5688]

Hi is the 4×4 ply wood? And I did by the quarter inch it did slide right over. So I tape diagnaly?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

2 x 2' plywood :~) yes, always tape diagonally :~)

[@sulaynovoa5688]

Sandi Balloon thank you so much! I watch all the time God bless you for all your help!!!

[@sulaynovoa5688]

Sandi Balloon thank you for always responding!!!! Love your easy teaching!

[@silkk21lg]

what type of tubing and how many would I need to make a 2 person arch

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

For a smaller arch you might want to use 2 columns and a hula hoop or PEX for the top :~) Like this... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZWbioyte66bbac

[@mirroredeventsunlimitedllc1598]
