Brilliant, loved these small numbers! Great tip with the finishing wire too will be giving it a try! 👍🎈

[@showwatchxx]

Brilliant video, thanks for the tips Mike Hurst.

[@SCFPVA]

As always great show! Thank you for sharing. I frequently use printed ribbons to add value to my designs.."Its a boy" "Happy birthday" etc. I also use thicker ribbon and my all time fav..curled 160s/260s. #SCFPainting

Bit late to the party, but I made the table display with a personalised bubble balloon instead of a foil for a 1st birthday and it went down a treat, so thanks Mike for the design/inspiration. :)

[@BalloonMarket]

Thanks Alison, really appreciate it.

[@wraparoundboomerang2295]

can i ask what make your machine and how much it is please and where to get it from????

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Triple Trouble - It is a Premium inflator. You can get them from us. Link below. They are £975 + VAT. Quite an investment but when you realise how it much it saves you in time and staff costs, it is well worth it! www.balloonmarket.co.uk/accessories/balloon-pumps/electric-pumps/premium-twin-air-sizer-balloon-inflator-1

[@ofirco100]

great interview!!! guys can explain how to put the dots on the myler pls link will be awsom !!!! tnx

[@MikeHurst81]

ofir cohen They are vinyl stickers that I cut. I use a Cricut machine, but most of the industry use the Silhouette Cameo.

[@ofirco100]

Hi mike And juzt stik them 1 by 1? By heand?

[@MikeHurst81]

No, i create 12"x12" sheet and place the uninflated foil on them, then peel them away with the balloon.

[@ofirco100]

So its 2 sides stikers? Mike its s great idea

[@joannaustin7200]

What size if the # 8 that you used? And where can i purchase different colored 16 foils.

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Joann! The numbr 8 is a 16" foil balloon. Northstar are the manufacturers of different colour 16" numbers! We stock them here in the UK :).

[@BeingSardar]

What size is the foil balloon? Many Thanks

[@BalloonMarket]

The smaller foil balloons are 16" :)

[@janedurham7135]

Hello, I’m very new to working with balloons and wat your tutorials all the time.... what would be the cost of the big 60th birthday celebration please ? Thanks Jane Durham

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Jane, I would estimate £25+ for that design but it does really depend on your overheads, costs and profits. We do have a pricing tool to help work out the cost of your designs if this is helpful! www.balloonmarket.co.uk/interactive-pricing-tool

[@kimosullivan6350]

Hi. What are the balloon sizes for the base on the small table decoration (in inches)?

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Kim, We would guess at 4.5 inch, 4 inch and 3.5 inch but I can ask Mike to confirm as we will be seeing him soon! As long as you have the balloons descending in size you should get a similar look.

[@lizbethaleman3781]

Hi blessings a question can you please tell me what is the tape he use to put together the number balloons ty

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi there. It's stretchy balloon tape: balloonmarket.co.uk/accessories/decorating-accessories/decorating-accessories/stretchy-balloon-tape-1-roll?zenid=9b9ee9ecef5fb1d0d9859b1ae0b0078c

[@ryansballoondiary602]

hi, what kind of tape Mike use to attach foil balloon together?

[@BalloonMarket]

Mike used Stretchy Balloon Tape from Clik-Clik. We're big fans of the tape, it's super sticky and strong! www.balloonmarket.co.uk/accessories/decorating-accessories/decorating-accessories/stretchy-balloon-tape-1-roll

[@heavenscentballoonsandflow1834]

Great Video! Thank you for sharing your tips Mike! At last a professional that has told us the prices that he sells his balloon arrangements for. Really refreshing! You spoke about upselling and that you usually sell your large helium filled numbers for £22 a pair. How much would you upsell your final last design for please? We all have to charge accordingly but it's always good to be guided by other retailers. Many thanks Mike, Greg and all at Balloon Market. :)

[@MikeHurst81]

Remember, this is the price I've set from my job costing which takes into account my overheads.

[@heavenscentballoonsandflow1834]

Thanks Mike! I don't have a shop so no passing trade and I haven't advertised your design YET! But your price is exceedingly good value for money and the same price that I quickly calculated that I should also charge. Many thanks for sharing your lovely designs and tips! More please :)

[@sanbell9000]

How much would you sell the 60 design for.

[@staciebell1532]

how many pumps with a hand pump does each layer use.

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Stacie. It all depends on which hand pump you use, every pump is different! If you were to use a Qualatex Dual-Action hand pump, it's roughly 3 pumps for the bottom, and 2 pumps for the top layers. I hope this helps!

[@staciebell1532]

@@BalloonMarket=thank you that helps a lot, hope to make one of these at home for birthday party.

[@BalloonMarket]

@@staciebell1532 hope it goes well :)

[@angelicabojorquez9987]

[@MikeHurst81]

Awesome, didn't realise you were selling them now.

[@showwatchxx]

was the big numbers at the end air filled or helium filled?

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Groovyshazxx The big numbers are helium filled! You can fill them with air but they wouldn't float.

[@sanbell9000]

Good design so you would sell this 35 design for 12.99.

[@MikeHurst81]

San Bell They now sell for £14.99
