I love your video… I have been in the business for 35 years and in watching your video it is the most real video I have seen out of all these other people who show people how to do these organic garlands/arches… Even if you have been off from doing this for one year… It is real to show the exhaustion… And when people ask youAbout the price this video shows exactly why we charge the way we charge… Thank you for being real… BARBARA’S EVENTS by design

[@JustineJordanCreative]

Wow! I really do appreciate your comment. That's exactly what I want to show because doing this business isn't easy at all and I was just tired of everyone acting as if they didn't have bad days. Having bad days is totally normal and I want to normalize this on my channel. Thank you for your kind words and recognizing what I bring to YT. It truly means the world, Barbara!

[@bcannon1792]

Push thru it Justine…I feel the same way and sometimes I think it’s not for me but I love it.

[@JustineJordanCreative]

Awww thanks love! I really appreciate it. I definitely will continue!

[@CC-mms]

I love your videos. Your balloon arch tutorial helped me set up my first ever balloon display and gave me the encouragement I needed to make this a business! I will be subscribing! Still got a lot to learn, but your vids are so informative! Plus i love how you kept it real and showed how frustrating it is lol

[@JustineJordanCreative]

Awww thanks love! It means a lot to know you’re enjoying my videos. I can only tell the truth about my journey and it sucks when you have to restart 😂 I appreciate you and I hope you get nothing but blessings in the near future ❤️

[@tarynconstantino230]

[@JustineJordanCreative]

Thanks Joy ❤️❤️❤️ I always will !

[@shannab8158]

Great job

[@JustineJordanCreative]

You’re so sweet. Thank you ☺️

[@deestupi]

You're amazing. Do you use command hooks for anchors or tape?

[@JustineJordanCreative]

Awww thanks love. I recommend command hooks for sure but the tape can be effective. Just be sure to properly remove the hooks otherwise you’ll experience paint coming off the wall

[@deestupi]

@@JustineJordanCreative thank you so much!

[@JustineJordanCreative]

@@deestupi You're welcome!

[@ginagrimani8083]

Beautiful job 😍😍 what size is the garland?

[@JustineJordanCreative]

it’s about 15 feet. 8feet in height by 7ft on width

[@lisajenkins1482]

💘 You are awesome.

[@JustineJordanCreative]

Awww thank you so much

[@alallen2767]

You look soo serious while you're creating the garland :)

[@JustineJordanCreative]

I was so frustrated during the entire time 😅 But it will get better like anything else ❤️

[@mirandarebornbabymaker212]

I had to laugh at your frustration. That's me. I take on projects then I'm cursing up and down, lol

[@JustineJordanCreative]

😂😂😂🤣🤣

[@SpukyKreationsbyTasha]

I use large rubber bands that help

[@JustineJordanCreative]

I definitely have to give this a try! You're the second person to mention this!

[@whatmarciedidnext6246]

Yep I seen this method too

[@JustineJordanCreative]

@@whatmarciedidnext6246 Now I'll have to try this!

[@tamaracampbell1915]

Use rubberbands thats the new thing now or 260's when adding add on's balloons

[@JustineJordanCreative]

I feel like 260 balloons don’t give a “tight” look. But I’ve never tried the rubber bands. Might have to give this a shot

[@bjprovost]

@@JustineJordanCreative rubber band are great especially with balloon shortage which is real. Advantage brand 7" x 1/16th is a good one.

[@ChelcPooh]

@@JustineJordanCreative i cut my 260s in half so that it will give a tighter look

[@JustineJordanCreative]

@@ChelcPooh Oh wow! I used to do this but it was just to save money. I didn't even think about this method to give it a tighter look. I might have to try this with my next video!

[@euklinrichards7444]

What size balloons you use and how many you put together

[@JustineJordanCreative]

I don’t count how many balloons I use. I only count the number of bags I need for each garland (5”, 11” and 17” for every colors. Gemar balloons sell 100 count for 5”, 50 count for 11” and 25 count for 17”. I bought 1 of each color and size for this video and it was more than enough. Let me know if this helps.

[@sirmc1513]

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE BACK POLES THAT HOLD UP THE BALLOONS AND WHERE DO YOU GET THE BACK DROP

[@JustineJordanCreative]

There aren’t any black poles or backdrops in this video

[@adriennegreenlee6940]

Do you hang with hooks, or tacks?

[@JustineJordanCreative]

With command hooks

[@alallen2767]

You said you stopped for a year and a half... were you just doing coaching videos? I think this exercise demonstrates that a balloon artist, like any artist has to continue to practice to stay capable.

[@JustineJordanCreative]

Yup! That’s exactly it. You have to keep creating in order to be successful. I’ve done a few garlands for family but I wanted to focus on coaching.

[@ronaynorwood9463]

Gurl that determination , I would have glue dots and 260 the heck of those balloons 🤗😂❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@JustineJordanCreative]

HA HA HA! I've gotten better at tying but this was the first time trying it on camera. I continue to use 260, especially on events with my clients since I don't have a lot of time to work through these challenges 😂

[@Trumatotriumphs]

My balloons didn't pop but they all oxidized.

[@JustineJordanCreative]

Hi Juanita - have you discovered why they all oxidized or would you be interested in a video on the topic?

[@dulcehernandez8549]

It was too hard to tight the necks because you over inflated the balloons 🎈. This technique works when your balloons are really round and you leave plenty of the neck to tight it to the ones in the garland ☺️

[@JustineJordanCreative]

Thanks for sharing!! I have definitely changed the brand I use and that has made all the difference (I use Tuftex now).

[@ChillieLevi]

I’ve been watching your videos her and there, but this video has made me subscribe I love how raw you were and transparent about being irritated but pushing through and making a beautiful balloon design!!!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@JustineJordanCreative]

Thanks for subscribing! It was hard to put this up but I know someone else needed the push. I’m glad it was you 🥰🩵

[@nadinerobinson766]

Wow $500.00..I agree with product, and time..but nm..it looks great

[@JustineJordanCreative]

Thank you

[@niahuston6851]

That’s exactly how I felt when I tried to tie the necks 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

[@JustineJordanCreative]
