Can't believe this video got 100,000 views! Thank you to everyone who has watched, liked and commented. It means the world to me.

[@robinpippinbritton2604]

Balloon Sage how long do they normally hold air?

[@mzcoli]

Robin Britton I know you asked a while ago but in my experience when inflated with air they can last nearly a week and still look practically like the day it was constructed. I hope this helps!

[@BalloonSage]

CurlyColi thank you for answering the question. I miss comments sometimes.

[@BalloonSage]

Robin Britton Hi! They will hold air for many days or even for over a week - as CurlyColi said - however, the structure retaining its encapsulated air and the structure retaining its luster and displayability are two separate issues.

[@BalloonSage]

That’s great! Thank you for watching.

[@nikoleinacoronel9753]

Wow, you make it look so easy! I hope mine looks the same as yours once I give it a try. I want to use this idea for my daughter's 2nd birthday. Thanks for an awesome tutorial.

[@BalloonSage]

You are very welcome. It is tough to get the first time, but if you think of it as a "labor of love", I know you can do it. Thanks for watching!

[@69bashment]

thank you Balloon Sage for showing how to make a linking balloon. great video

[@BalloonSage]

Thank you! I'm just hoping nobody else has tutorialized this idea yet.

Thank you so much!

[@patriciapettiford7171]

I love this tutorial.

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks so much! I recently put out a second dollar store balloon arch tutorial that you would probably like as well.

[@BalloonArtworks]

It's a great video, Sage - congrats!

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks so much! I have a large dollar store arch on the way.

[@tishaholliman7454]

Great idea!! Thank you!!

[@BalloonSage]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@ete_vise3]

you make it look so easy! 🖒🖒

[@BalloonSage]

Thank you! It often isn't - but I try to demonstrate that it is technically possible to create while at least making it appear as if it were simple.

[@onedivamom1]

Loved your video! Quick question: can you tie a small note in the ballon before blowing up and tie the cut 260 balloon on the end?

[@BalloonSage]

I have honestly never tried that before, but if you can conceive of it clearly in your mind as you have, it sounds like it could be possible. Let me know if you can make it work. Thank you for watching!

[@lukericketts4055]

Balloon Sage, You're a champion!!! Your designs are awesome. Great technique, just a question though, is the use of quicklinks balloons the same as your compound knot??

[@BalloonSage]

Absolutely. Quick links are the faster, easier option - only there is a monetary price to pay. I very much wanted to use those for this arch but my challenge was to limit myself to only dollar store supplies. Thanks for the great question! I always like to beef up my comments sections.

[@reemagul616]

best tutorial so far thank you so much

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks so much!

[@willamightknow7639]

Subscribed and already trying out your techniques! So far so good 🙂

Thanks! I am filming a newer bigger arch today.

[@kadaverstar555]

Love your videos,keep up the good work. ;) love how clear and well u explain things. Super easy to copy you

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks so much!

[@user-iz8ji5nt3y]

Молодец. Хорошо объясняешь

[@ixmercy]

Where do you buy your balloons besides the dollar store? Thank you for all of your helpful videos.

[@BalloonSage]

You are very welcome! I buy my high quality Qualatex balloons through a catalogue or online. Depending where you live, you will be able to order from a distributing company. (I live in California and the distributor I use is called Mayflower.)

[@serenaholland2285]

Awesome job, I love it! I will br trying this soon. Questions...what are you using for scraps, the size of the balloons and what is the exact name of the hand pump?

[@BalloonSage]

Hi there. the scraps are balloons called 260s. These are used for twisting and are 2" inches by 60" when fully inflated. You can find these long skinny balloons at dollar stores or supermarkets if you don't want to order online. My pump is a Qualatex hand inflator. If you don't have a quality hand pump you will have a very difficult time inflating evenly in this way. The size of these rounds can be anywhere from 9" to 12" which is standard for everyday round balloons. If you want to spend the money you can order everything you need online. Thanks for watching!

[@serenaholland2285]

You are the absolute bestest! Thank you so much for all your help. Keep up the great work!

[@loveliarawls4424]

.how to make a balloon baby bottle

[@ShampooWow]

*_Awesome video! I like it_*

[@askmeforaballoon]

Awesome dollar store decor!

[@BalloonSage]

Thank you so much. I didn't think you had done this specific idea, but if you have, please let me know so I can credit you in tomorrow's version. I'm so happy for your success Tanya, it is so thrilling, and without your amazing techniques and concepts I would have been in a void of mediocrity. The twisting is cool, and is my passion, but the decór is making me money and your videos have possibly touched my life the most out of all your viewers.

[@askmeforaballoon]

Balloon Sage You are very welcome! I have done some link o loon arches, but only with link o loons or quick links. This was a great idea, much cheaper! I told you before the decor vids are the best, for views and subs :) Congrats on 8,000 plus for you! Thank you so much!

[@BalloonSage]

Ask Me For A Balloon you've done so many great decór vids, it's hard not to copy directly, but I'm doing my best to create some variations. Cheers!

[@askmeforaballoon]

Balloon Sage Mine is different, no copying, you have done a unique twist with this one!

[@askmeforaballoon]

Balloon Sage Job very well done! Also fantastic editing!

[@oletijyothikavlogs783]

Really superb your explanation is very good Can u pls share how to make a bus with balloons

[@gzhejunbin]

Good tutorial! I made it!

[@babygames321]

nice Balloon

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks!

[@Davethenuttymagician]

I already bought a couple packs of quick links from Qualatex too. That's OK the pea method is good too

[@BalloonSage]

Oh yeah, the links are so much easier, I was just trying to make something that was super cheap but a little more work.

[@loycoronel1551]

thanks for clear instruction i got it

[@BalloonSage]

Awesome

[@federicacentola1914]

Thank you it's so easy ;_))

[@Mrscreative47]

You and Tanya are the best

[@BalloonSage]

She's the best, and I'm tryin' my best, lol! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.

[@mariesolis1867]

Question how many pumps do I need to make a size 8 or 9 inch balloon?? I want to make a large balloon arch you and Tanya make it look so easy and I want to make one for my baby shower

[@BalloonSage]

It all depends on what pump you are using. Queen Tanya has so very many large arch tutorials that I'm sure those vids will be more help than I can be on the subject. I learned how to make balloon decorations by watching her videos in the first place! Thank you.

[@Only_Cats_OC]

Great video!!! And awesome shirt!

[@BalloonSage]

Hey - thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks so much for watching!

nice..decor.

[@faisalshah2928]

😙😙😙 itZzzz very nice....

[@oumaymamaalaoui9371]

merciiiii

[@marilynruiz5640]

is there any way I can just add more blue balloons to make it bigger and of course small pink ones as well

[@BalloonSage]

Yes, you could certainly make it longer that way. Just remember that this is an inside balloon arch and if you want to see a bunch of other arch ideas, check out my friend Tanya at Ask Me For A Balloon. She has some amazing ideas and I learned to create balloon decorations from her.

[@user-py9mr7em4v]

Thanks

[@BalloonSage]

🙂

[@Arianne-ep5mr]

What do the little knots do that u put in the balloons

[@egypt4000]

You have taught me lots. Thanks

[@BalloonSage]

I’m glad - thanks for watching!

[@saharaadel7672]

Wow you are so talented!! Can you please tell me if I do this on Friday night and I have birthday Saturday night is it will pops??

[@BalloonSage]

It is always best to make it the same day, BUT - you can create it the night before and then cover it in plastic bags (like big black hefty garbage bags) and keep it in like as closet or something to keep the air from degrading the luster and structural integrity of the latex as well as prevent many air molecules from escaping between the latex molecules. You can also create it half way - inflating all the balloons ahead of time (place in clean airtight garbage bags once again overnight) and then you assemble your arch the next day - so a lot of the work is already done . Two great options aside from same-day construction and inflation.

[@saharaadel7672]

Thank you so so much I really appreciate you! I asked because it's my first time to make this and I'm sure it will takes me long time to make, the same day I can't I will do that you told me. Thank you ones again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BalloonSage]

Sahara Adel I am sure your version will come out great and I'm sure everyone will be impressed with your work. Thank you for watching my video.

[@saharaadel7672]

Balloon Sage thank you!! 😊

[@subhanabid5079]

Sahara Adel

[@TheJilljackson2]

Could i make this the night before for my daughters party the next day or would it not last until the next morning?

[@BalloonSage]

Hi! Yes, you should make it as late as possible to ensure the luster and integrity of the stretched latex lasts through the night. If you wrap the sides in large plastic bags (or drop and tie the whole thing into a huge50-gallon plastic bag) this will keep it pristine for the morning.

[@smilem.128]

I try this to decor my little girl birthday...

[@cherrymaelaturza3319]

What size of balloons did u use for these?

[@BalloonSage]

Hi! 9”

[@sudamrapewad1294]

it looks like you make simple design in complicated design

[@khelgaming4550]

What size of balloon do you use?

[@chenda2067]

can you show us how to make snow flake balloon?

[@claudiasmith4387]

Hey sage what can you use instead of the 260 please let me know

[@BalloonSage]

Hi there. Well, I mean, you could technically use curling ribbon. You could knot it up for the internal portion and use small lengths of ribbon to attach the balloons together.

[@nancysilver8498]

A pinto bean works just as well as tying and dropping the knots

[@BalloonSage]

Excellent idea!

[@alysiaclinton5408]

what brand of hand pump are you using? mine will fill only a few pumps and then it is too weak of pressure to fill balloon

[@BalloonSage]

Hi. I'm using the Qualatex Hand Inflator - the most popular pump with balloon twisters - made by the company that creates the best balloons in the world - Qualatex! It can be ordered online, but, as an alternative, you can find pumps at most dollar stores that are about half as good at pumping air but still get the job done.

[@elliesetlock3491]

How long do balloons stay inflated???

[@BalloonSage]

Hi there. If you are making this for an event, the balloons will be fullest and shiniest if you make it the night before and keep it overnight in large airtight bags. As long as the arch is kept indoors, it will stay together looking nice for a few days to a week. Again, though, I recommend making it as close to party as possible.

[@annettesoto2619]

You you make it look so easy. lol

[@BalloonSage]

Haha, thanks Annette! This was my first balloon arch video so back then I was really struggling through this video. I'm glad it didn't show.

[@yoshamonrealjr.9378]

i like the way you use your scissor hahaha..

[@BalloonSage]

Haha thanks for watching!

[@yoshamonrealjr.9378]

Balloon Sage youre welcome,.. thanks to your vids. i got an idea on how to make arc for my baby's bday.. 5 star for you ★★★★★

[@BalloonSage]

Yosha Monreal Jr. Excellent

[@godizluv1]

brilliant

[@BalloonSage]

I'm so glad you like the idea!

[@margaretcruz2233]

How did you link them

[@agegraciously6926]

wOw!!! 😵😵😵

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheMartinetnancy]

அருமை..

[@BalloonSage]

என் வீடியோவை பார்த்து நன்றி I cheated and used google translate, haha.

[@lynettecubic4520]

could i use small pony bead to attach?

[@BalloonSage]

Technically, yes. Would be easier than making the knots for sure. Thanks for your question!

[@doriibabes]

if one balloon pops.. you have to start over?

[@BalloonSage]

Nope, you can replace any balloon by tying a new one directly into the popped portion after removing it - even when the column is totally finished!

[@barbarasamuel7253]

Can I use Quik Links instead of making raisins?

[@BalloonSage]

Absolutely! It would be way easier.

[@barbarasamuel7253]

Thank you so much!

[@Historyahetv75]

Hi, what size the balloon that you use?

[@BalloonSage]

These are all 9 inches.

[@melcrisjoycaminade6985]

what stuff u make for an arch???

[@bhagyashreevhatkar3119]

Please give the list of materials

[@MushiraCassim]

whats that like elastic?

[@irenediaz5351]

how big can you make it ? can i make it bigger or will it tilt?

[@BalloonSage]

This is not the style for making large scale. Check out the fabulous Tanya from Ask Me For A Balloon for tons of Arch ideas. Thank you.

[@criscellecsirc9368]

can i know what kinds of balloon are you using and their sizes?..

[@BalloonSage]

Hi! Here in California, we've got some awesome dollar stores! Why, they carry 9" round balloons that are 5¢ a piece - 1.00$ for 20. (whether purchased at dollar stores, online from Qualatex, Walmart, or your local party store) virtually all latex round balloons can be found in size 9" , 11" or 12". The balloons featured in this video are from the dollar store and are 9" when fully inflated. Thank you for your question - I hope this helped!

[@dataricerry2413]

Can't do it

[@parvezkhan7712]

parvez khan

[@marrissanewman7265]

could i just add a bead to the bottom

[@BalloonSage]

A bead?

[@marrissanewman7265]

Thank you

[@marrissanewman7265]

instead of tying the balloons to put inside so it has something to hold onto

[@BalloonSage]

Oh oh, the internal knots. People often use anything from raisins to knotted balloons - you could use beads in the balloons as long as they are round and smooth. Otherwise the bead's sharp angles will break the constricting latex around it and has the potential to fly off if the balloon pops so make sure it is something that can't potentially injure anyone if it goes flying. The reason I used balloon knots here was because I designed this arch to be 100% latex. Thanks for your great question!

[@marrissanewman7265]

cool thank you

[@mikerogers6136]

Hmmmm, could use some sharper scissors???? Great tutorial though...

[@BalloonSage]

Haha! Thanks for watching. :)

[@shirleyhughes6510]

You give lively direction Very involed for your liistners.....

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks! I try to pack as much info as I can in the shortest amount of time that I can. Thank you for watching.

[@arwenmaglasang1649]

Very nice

[@BalloonSage]

Thank you!

[@aybin.v.k9562]

Thanks

[@MushiraCassim]

whats that like elastic?

[@BalloonSage]

hi there. I use the type of balloons that are used for making balloon animals to tie my decorations together.

[@MushiraCassim]

+Balloon Sage hi,okay may i know the name of that?

[@BalloonSage]

mushie SC you can buy the professional quality "twisting" balloons online or you can pick up the cheap kind of 260 twisting balloons (the most common type used for balloon animals) at your local supermarket, party stores or sometimes even dollar stores.

[@BalloonSage]

With a little modification, you could actually use small strands of curling ribbon instead to create the internal knots and external linking apparatus.

[@MushiraCassim]

+Balloon Sage i wanna make a arch..
