I say this without any reservations that i learn something new everytime you upload a video. i didnt know that this was an option to make mini garlands from 5 inch balloons, will definitely try these when im doing birthday decor at work. Thanks again rachel....Love the video!!!

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Eeeeek that's so lovely to hear! Thanks Tracy-Ann! I feel like I've learned a lot along my journey and am constantly thinking of things I haven't shared yet so I'm so glad it's helpful! If you want to make it look like a smaller version of a regular garland, throw in a few 9s or 11s (like you would with 17s) and BAM! Instant masterpiece! XOXO, Rach

[@tracy-annlester1054]

You're so welcome TR! So glad to hear it! ✨

[@dstarlette25]

I feel like small Mini garlands are becoming really popular right now, I would love to see how you would incorporate these into larger balloon structures or how else they can be incorporated in different styles of balloon art 😃

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Thanks for the feedback! I have had a lot of fun incorporating them into some bigger creations, hopefully I get to showcase more of that on the channel : ) XOXO, Rach

[@amberstout6955]

Soooo thankful for your videos!! Will be doing my first balloon garlands in 2 weeks for my daughters 9th birthday. After watching your videos the plan went from 1 garland around the doorway to now one on the outside table, one on the mantle and above her bedroom door 😳 as a noob I would love to see how to do the mantle and other ways to use balloons. Where the hell do you put a balloon bouquet? Lol I don’t know but I want to find out.

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

hahahahhaha I love thisss!!! Sounds so amazing, you'll do great!!! And a balloon bouquet can go on a table, on the floor, anywhere it can be a focal point, really! Looking forward to seeing you around, welcome Amber & thanks for the kind words! XOXO, Rach

[@jacquelinefrois2167]

this is a great video. I am having a hard time trying to get the balloons connected by tying the necks. I always have such a large gap because I can't get the balloons close enough.

[@lindahaapala6959]

What brand is your electric pump? Thank you...so much fun watching you. You describe and demonstrate very well.

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Hey Linda!! Thanks for the kind words, glad you're enjoying!! The pump I use is actually a super cheap one believe it or not, I love it! The link for the pump is in the video description, and it's by Lot Fancy, I believe? Nice to hear from you! XOXO, Rach

[@pip6602]

Absolutely beautiful!!!😍😍😍 What brand of balloons are you using?

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Awww thanks so much Pip! The blue ones are from Party City, and the purples are mostly Qualatex with the lightest lavender being Decomex : ) XOXO, Rach

[@yolandalarkin8075]

WHAT THE BEST ELECTRIC PUMP FOR 5 inch BALLOONS. I ALWAY HAVE TO USE A HAND PUMP.

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Hey Yolanda! My favorite is the one I use (linked in the video description), but any dual nozzle pump works on single-stuffed 5 inch balloons. When you are talking double stuffed, you either have to have one of the expensive professional electric pumps, or use a hand pump. : / I hope to review some of the expensive ones and give feedback on those before long! XOXO, Rach

[@alallen2767]

Oh, if only they inflated that quickly in REAL LIFE... :)

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

🤣🤣🤣

[@kamieickhoff170]

Love your videos!! Not sure if you already answered this?…but how many balloons did you use approx?

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Thanks Kami! I’m so glad 🤓😍 I believe this was about 50 of the blue balloons and about 70 purples 🥳 XOXO, Rach

[@nymetsjg05]

I just discovered your channel when I wanted to make a garland for my daughter’s gender reveal (btw, it’s a boy!!) Now it’s time for the baby shower. The restaurant doesn’t allow anything to be hung on the walls. I would love to know what you recommend to make. We have the gift table, diaper raffle table, dessert table and a welcome sign which is 28” x 22” and will be displayed on a 63” easel stand. I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!!

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

eeeeek CONGRATS Josephine!!! So exciting! Well, you could do a table topper/table runner (I did one around Thanksgiving there's a video on out of mini balloons), a bouquet (also have a tutorial on that!), or even see if they have a drop ceiling or a ceiling you could attach fishing line to to hang a garland/arch from? Also those giant airloonz are great for floor pieces! Party City has them, so does Bargain Balloons. Best of luck! XOXO, Rach

[@allanamatthews8341]

Finally tried my hand at bouquet but I used cheap balloons an they oxidized quickly. Saving to get better quality balloons but I'm comfortable with using 260 instead of the fishing line. Will send progress when I get the balloons. Much thanks for ur videos, keep the educational videos coming. What brand did u use in this video?

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Eyyyyy that's awesome Allana! 260s are the easiest, I swear! I feel you on the saving up, can't wait to see what you create! More videos comin! For these garlands, I honestly used leftover 5" ones that had no matching large balloons, lol. The blue was from Party City, and the purples were mostly Qualatex, I think the lighter lavender was from Decomex. XOXO, Rach

[@allanamatthews8341]

Also I realize that the metallic ish balloons stick together or to the other balloons or is it just the cheap brand in practicing with

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Hmmmm, sounds like the brands you’re working with 🙈 sorry girl! Kalisan is like the cheapest high quality brand I know of, hopefully you can get some good ones and see the difference! But honestly I’ve used some cheap ones that were great before. Confetti & Shimmer I think they’re called, they do cheap kits on Amazon and their stuff has been great (for an Amazon kit) IMO.

[@allanamatthews8341]

@@BubblyBalloonCo ok going to do my homework.

[@alexawroten9749]

Hiii do you know why my 5 inch won’t inflate using the pump? I have to use a hand pump for all of these for some reason

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Hey there! Not sure which pump you’re using but it’s possible it’s not strong enough? Try stretching the 5 inchers out first. Also, if they’re double stuffed, they will need to be pumped by hand 😩 XOXO, Rach

[@kara3871]

Can you show us a video of you hanging up the balloon garland. Because I'm lost on how keeping it from falling.

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Hi Kara! Absolutely, check out this video of how to hang a balloon garland. Lmk if you still have questions! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXi4Z4Okj8uIedk XOXO, Rach

Pls what is the name of your pump

Hey there! I don’t know if it has a name but I’ve linked it in the video description. Hope that helps! XOXO, Rach

[@henrydanielvelasquezlopez1269]

wow, the truth did not know that you could make such thin garlands hehe, and the truth I have a question and I do not know if you have a tutorial on how to make thicker garlands, since in reality I have the idea but I do not know how to execute it since They asked me for 2 very wide garlands ... 😐😪and by the way, I would like to know your opinion of a turquoise decoration, for my project presentation, with silver, because if I'm honest I bought everything in gold and silver black .. . But I didn't like it, I saw it very serious for what my undertaking would be, so I don't know if the turquoise with silver because with gold if I look at it a little more feminine ... but you will tell me 😅😎🙃

[@BubblyBalloonCo]

Turquoise and silver sounds lovely! 💯 go for it!! On a thick garland you can either make larger clusters of like 12 and tie them together so they are more wide than tall, or tie two garlands together to make one super wide one. I may do a video on that before long! You got this!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
