I love how you took us to the store and showed us every single step to it. Thank you so much for this. I will definitely try it ❤️

[@deanaelias4056]

I love this tutorial, best part was watching you go to the store. This made my shopping trip so much easier. I was able to find all the items at Home Depot. I made this balloon arch and used it for the first time this past weekend. It was so easy to put together and put up. My balloon arch looked amazing and held up in the wind. Thank you!!

thanks so much..i needed this exact video right now!! i have learned so much from you and your advice is greatly appreciated.... what balloons are you using?. i also was scared for you caring the balloons .....i feel like mine would have defiantly popped! thanks again...beautiful arch!!!

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

These are Qualatex balloons. They are super squishy and underinflated- I'm using 11" balloons and sizing to only about 8" so they're pretty resilient.

First of all Sandi your personality is adorable😊 I love all of your videos but this is the absolute best on KZbin hands down. Thank you for your patiently going through each step so thoroughly.

what an amazing video with so much detailed information! thank you. Btw if i wanted to make the arch a little smaller, would it be okay to have the PBC cut into 6Ft each instead of 8ft? will it still bend to arch???

[@JenniferSimon-d9v]

Did you ever find an answer? I need to make this, but not quite so high.

[@laurithompson9825]

Love the tutorial. Curious what brand balloon do you use that holds up to the outdoors? I am looking at building this for a 6th grade promotion party at my daughters school. Thanks.

Hello Sandy get video, but I wished you provided a list of supplies from home Depot In the description box. Will definitely be making this for my daughter's birthday. Thank you

[@MeganFerentheil]

How high was this outdoor arch? And how short would PVC be cut for an indoor arch?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

It's approx 25' linear. The height and width depends on how far apart you set the legs. Basically it's your standard double doorway size :~)

[@michellegam5234]

When you make an arch for someone do you get the bases and arch back afterwards?

[@yazminsarasino3223]

Yes

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

yes, always. I charge a separate set up/ tear down fee to cover that part of the service, but it's not optional, we always tear down our own jobs. :-)

[@jacquelineramirez442]

Hi Sandi. I've referred this tutorial to so many ladies in a balloon group. Hope you get lot's of new followers. I would LOVE to see you make a circle frame. Please. Thank you😀

[@anotherfabcreation6140]

Do you have to have 3 ft emt poles for the bases? If your arch is not as long, say 16 ft.

[@threekingz_mrd7773]

I love this.. very amazing.. ..👏👏👏👏 big thumbs up for me. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 this is best great tutorial for balloon arch with the base

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Thank you!! :~)

[@ballroomballoons]

Thank you, Sandi! Can you please tell me if you have also had success using a forty-foot length with this method? Thanks!

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

I believe you can go up to 50', but having said that, I've never done more than 35' simply because I haven't had a client with the need for it longer. :~)

[@ballroomballoons]

@@SandiMasoriPresents Hi Sandi! We actually did make a 50-foot outdoor arch (total length). We used your model as a starting point and took it from there. We used 10-foot tall heavy steel poles screwed into our custom bases and base plates because the client needed at least a 12-foot clearance for trucks to drive through. I believe we used a combination of PVC widths with a some sections being 1-inch with part of the middle being 1 1/4 inches (most of the five PVC sections were 3/4 inch). I have photos I can send. The arch was a little flat, but the height ended up being well over 15-feet with a 30-foot width. I should have taken better notes, but, we were working in the middle of the night. It was hard work.

[@danasmith2914]

Hi Sandy!! Love, love, love your work! What type of balloons are you using. I attempted to transport columns once and lost many of them. Can you offer any advice?

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

underinflate~ the squishier the better, these are 11" balloons inflated to about 8"

[@denisehicks3160]

So awesome job well done you are fantastic

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

Thanks! :~)

[@jessicathomason7798]

How would you connect a balloon arch over a walkway connected to the rails on each side?

[@adamra301]

Can I make this bigger with 10 feet each pvc X 3? 30 feet? To give enough room for cars and suvs to go through

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

yes - just always be sure to use an odd number of pieces to avoid having the stress at the joint in the center. :-)

[@akimalaeulu2758]

You're amazing! Thank you!!

[@garywinebrenner7452]

O k so what is the formula on how to find the measurements for an arch say a twenty foot tall arch

[@Volunteerballoons]

Boy, you sure manhandle those balloons! I would have a heart attack if I had to drag my arch on the cement, right by the bushes, down the stairs.... I guess I baby my balloons too much! :-)

[@danasmith2914]

I was thinking the same. I was laughing with my daughter how Sandy man-handles those balloons...😂🤣I would have lost all my balloons.

[@SandiMasoriPresents]

When they're that underinflated they're generally pretty resilient. For my regular columns I inflate to 8.5" but for outdoor work I inflate only to approx 8". :~)
