[@dananaz12]

Nice job 👍🏽 I love it . Me and outside don’t get a long lol 😂 I love in Florida and it’s been unreal I have to go to Home Depot . I was thinking if sand a friend mention other then the rubber one used for my pipe and drape . I was just thinking cost effective way to do it . Great video , I’ve been sending it to a few people to check out . A person can teach you many times but then that 1 person they get it . ❤️❤️❤️

[@balloonsbylee]

Thank you so much💚💚 Lol yes that’s how it always is! This was definitely cost effective less than $75 or even $50 to build the stand.

[@courtneyjones977]

Thank you so much for you video I did my 1st balloon arch and it was beautiful💗💜thank you thank you thank yoy

[@balloonsbylee]

You’re welcome!! I’m glad it helped in any way. If you posted it on IG please @balloonsbylee3 I will love to see it💚💚💚

[@marieconerly7989]

Nice. I like to cover my bases with a plastic tablecloth cut in half and doubled etc in one.of the balloon colors and use clear gorilla tape to secure to base. I use lantern poles and PVC etc similar to what you've shown. Thanks for sharing.

[@balloonsbylee]

Hi💚 Thanks for watching! I never seen the lantern poles I have to take a look at those.

[@marieconerly7989]

Wal-Mart has silver, gold, and black lamp poles for about $12. They aren't heavy duty but great for smaller things like a column since they're kind of Lightweight don't need the shade part of it and pull the electrical cord out, very economical though. And plastic tablecloth from Dollar Tree or Hobby Lobby in balloon color..FYI and thanks for sharing

[@balloonsbylee]

@@marieconerly7989 ohhhhh the lamp poles. Yes, I used them before they are great and cost efficient!!! You’re welcome💚

[@tahjaratahj2848]

This method 🙌🙌🙌

[@balloonsbylee]

Thank you🫶🏾

[@cynetramcneil9910]

Do you screw to the lamp base? Also if you use grey pvc can you screw to lamp base. Your method is much easier

[@balloonsbylee]

Sorry, not sure what you mean by screw to the lamp base.

[@patriciafestapereira2964]

Lindo Arco 👏👏👏👏😘❤️🌹🇧🇷

[@balloonsbylee]

Thank you 💚

[@royaldiadem762]

Freeeiinnn, What’s the other pipe called that bends easier than the pvc?

[@balloonsbylee]

Heyyy!! PEX.

[@royaldiadem762]

@@balloonsbylee thank you Frrriienn!🤎

[@amnazahid1659]

If we want to make arch stand shorter what can we do if we dont have to much space and height? Plzz answer me

[@balloonsbylee]

Hi. You can use less pvc poles to make it shorter.

[@amnazahid1659]

@ pvc poles are attached to each other in between there are threads so how we make it shorter?

[@shaylalynch3657]

I love this! You you have the link to the capsule you you attached to tge pvc pipe? Or the grey pvc pipe you were talking about in the video

[@balloonsbylee]

Thank you! I don’t have the link to the capsules only the pipe in the description box.

[@glendamuhammad3970]

What do you mean by organic design? And agian you are the QUEEN of balloons 💕

[@balloonsbylee]

Awe you’re too kind! Thank you. I mean different size balloons.

[@amnazahid1659]

If we want to make it shorter arch but the pvc poles are attach to each other they cant separate in between there are the threads how we goona make it shorter? Can you plzz help me to fix my problem

[@balloonsbylee]

Cut from the opposite end.

[@marieconerly7989]

Did you add more red to the center on the right side in the 11 inch or so where all the gray is on the right side? Hope you caught that. Still looks nice though from a fellow balloon designer.

[@balloonsbylee]

I think I did need add a duplex of red in the middle with the 5in fillers; I can’t remember exactly. Thank you💚

[@naijachick]

Thank you! I think I will try this method. So how many ft of pvc did you use in total…15ft? Also do you know how tall your completed arch was from the middle.

[@balloonsbylee]

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching💚 Yes, the PVC was 15ft total; three pieces of 5ft and I want to say it was about 7ft tall from the middle.

[@deirtraneals5213]

Heyy Do you go back and get the bases afterwards?

[@balloonsbylee]

Hi. For this setup I did go back and pick it up since it was for a family member, but if this is a client I add the cost for the stand in the total pricing for an arch so it will be theirs to keep. Unless, they want me to do the take down then I will pick it up and charge the additional.

[@lauracunningham6502]

Did you add 18 imch into every bundle of 8

[@balloonsbylee]

No, the light grey didn’t have any 18in.

[@marielaespinoza8980]

How wide was your arch? You said 7ft tall, right?

[@balloonsbylee]

I don’t remember exactly. Maybe 8FT wide

[@Skyesballoons1111]

Hi! Beautiful 😍 How many balloons did you use?

[@balloonsbylee]

Hi 😊😊 Roughly between 120 -130 not including the 5in balloons.

[@Skyesballoons1111]

Amazing! Love it. I have my first event for a baby reveal my stand is 10ft I’m excited. Your video was very helpful thank you! 🙂💕

[@balloonsbylee]

@@Skyesballoons1111 You’re welcome💚 Congrats on the first event🎉 Try to prep as much as possible and take deep breaths when working (it always calms me down) lol

[@Skyesballoons1111]

@@balloonsbylee Thank so much for the encouragement and advise. Truly appreciate it. ☺️🙏🏽❤️

@@Skyesballoons1111 You’re welcome💚

[@patiwuede528]

Hi Lee, did you use the flexible pvc (pex pipe) for this or the straight pvc? If you use the straight pvc, how did you get it to curve/arch?

[@balloonsbylee]

Hiiii! I used the white PVC, not the more flexible pex pipe, you’ll use the PEX if you’re trying to make a U shape arch from what I researched. The white PVC blends on its own once put together. Idk how to explain lol but I didn’t do anything special just added the pvc to the lamp poles then raised it up.

[@lorenamorgan7120]

Your work is so beautiful. I have watched many videos, but your creativity is wonderful. When you charge for your service do you have a set fee or is it by the hour?

[@balloonsbylee]

Thank you so much! I charge by the hour.

[@diamondscott9998]

Could you have used your metal backdrop stand base instead with the floor lamp?

[@balloonsbylee]

Hi. The metal base have a 3-4in metal cylinder on top for the pole to slide on, so I wouldn’t be able to add the floor lamp on top of that w/o unscrewing it off. Perhaps you can use it if you feel like unscrewing and re-screwing, but if the client intends on keeping it up for a while like this client. I wouldn’t suggest using your pipe and drape stand.

[@diamondscott9998]

@@balloonsbylee yes so I was thinking of unscrewing the cylinder piece and taping the lamp base to that. The event is only a few hours.

[@balloonsbylee]

@@diamondscott9998 Oh then yes! That will work…

[@klas939]

Where do u get the balloon bags from?

[@balloonsbylee]

They’re mattress bags I brought from the Uhaul store.

[@almiraib3536]

Will this work outside?

[@balloonsbylee]

Yes, I think so. Because the pavers itself weigh 40lbs each I don’t see it falling over if placed outside.

[@MISSEXYJ]

😍😍😍

[@balloonsbylee]

🥰🥰🥰

[@deirtraneals5213]

How much should I charge for this with 2 colors?

[@balloonsbylee]

Depends on where you live and the market around you, price of materials, and if you charge per hour or square feet.

[@latashascarboro1406]

I have been loving all your videos!!! How many 17 inch balloons are in your clusters of 8? I want to try to make this for a daughters graduation.

[@balloonsbylee]

Aw thank you so much for watching💚 I believe I added two 17in balloons in each cluster. I hope everything turns out well.
