Balloon surprise ideas

In recent decades, it is customary to give gifts from the store. This simplifies life - I went and bought it, they can even pack a gift for the donor, the main thing is to pay. Most often, an equal sign is placed between the value of the gift and the relationship of the donor to the recipient of the presentation. And gifts made with your own hands with a soul gradually fade into oblivion. It would seem that a gift is a sign of attention, and it is much more pleasant to receive something made by a person who was not too lazy, spent time creating a presentation, but prefer to give something that can be bought ready-made.

Balloons can be the perfect gift wrapping. The most practical gift nowadays is money, and a plastic bottle will help put it in a ball. Cutting off the upper part and putting a ball on the neck, we get a convenient funnel through which you can put money, pour shiny confetti inside the ball, put a note with a wish, a ring. You can give as one balloon, pre-packed in an inflated form in a gift box with the inscription "burst me" on it (everything depends on your imagination), or several balloons in the form of a bouquet.

In shops specializing in the sale of goods for the holiday, you can buy a "surprise balloon". It differs in its size, it is usually used to pack small balloons in it (20 pieces can fit in it) and confetti.

To implement this gift idea you will need a "surprise balloon", small balloons, a hand pump (small balloons are very difficult to inflate without it).Having inflated a large balloon first, hold it in such a state for a couple of minutes so that it stretches, and then release the air. We put a small ball into the neck of the deflated ball, hold both necks so that the small one does not slip, and inflate it. Having inflated the balloon, we tie the neck, and it remains inside the large surprise balloon. Thus, we place the required number of small ones in a large balloon, and then inflate a large one neatly so that it takes shape.

Inside the small balls, you can place money, notes with a wish, or put a gift in one ball, thus giving the opportunity to play the game "find a gift". Many agencies offer a service for packing in a balloon and larger gifts, soft toys, bottles of champagne.

An unusual and memorable gift will be balloons that act directly as a gift. It is not difficult to make a surprise box with balls on your own. If you wish, you can purchase a ready-made composition at an aerodesign store.

To make a surprise box yourself, you will need:

• large box 70x70 cm, as large as possible, not necessarily square;
• wrapping paper, ribbons and bow;
• small balls - from 10 pieces;
• helium balloon;
• scotch tape and scissors.

The process of creating a presentation is simple. First you need to wrap the box with paper, fix the bow on the lid. A gift can be placed on the bottom of the box, if provided. Inflate the balloons with helium, tie ribbons to them and secure them to the ends with duct tape inside the box so that they do not fly off to the ceiling (you may not need to fasten them, but simply release the balloons from the box, which looks spectacular). You can attach a postcard, declarations of love, small toys to the ribbons from the ball, the possibilities of choice are endless and depend on imagination. You can time this surprise for any holiday: March 8, February 23, birthday, New Year or other memorable date.

Due to the large selection, color and shape, the classic task for balloons to decorate a holiday can be solved brightly and exclusively.

A gift made from the heart with a desire to surprise and make a person happy is remembered for a long time.

Balls used for decoration are of various types:

1. classic - multicolored latex balloons;
2. SHDM (balls for modeling) - long thin balls from which various shapes are made, this activity is called twisting;
3. foil - in the form of numbers, figures;
4. surprise balloon with a wide neck.

When working with balloons, several tools and materials are required.

• Pump - it can be either a manual or a compressor. Having decided to pump the balloon with helium, you will have to purchase a helium balloon, 10 liters of it is enough for 100 balloons.
• Air balls can be tied with a thread, you can tie the neck of the ball with a knot. Helium balloons require special clips. Then they can be tied with ribbons for beauty.
• Rubber glue or tape, for attaching balls to a surface or to each other.
• Scissors.

When choosing balls for a celebration, it is necessary to think over the color concept of the holiday; for children, multi-colored balls are most often used.

There may be few balls, more precisely, one. This decoration option is quite viable. The ball can be fixed on the festive table, on the chair of the hero of the occasion or near the bed... You can tie a gift or a postcard to the balloon, it is better if it is filled with helium. Foil balloons look good alone.

If there are no gel ones, they attach the balloons with air to the ceiling on double-sided tape, or you can fasten them to the ribbons, with the ball down, it will look unusual.

The "personalized" balloons decorating the chairs can help with the seating of the guests at the wedding. Balloons just lying on the floor, inflated with air, will serve as entertainment not only for children, but also for adults.

A garland of balloons for decorating a celebration has been popular for many years. The possibilities of using it are wide; you can decorate a doorway, ceiling, walls and windows. Ten balls make a meter of garland. Let's consider the manufacturing process step by step. For its independent production, you will need a fishing line (1.5 meters per 1 meter of a finished garland), stretched and fixed in a horizontal position.

The balls move towards each other, leaving no free space between them. The color scheme of the garland is unlimited, it can be one color, two or several. From it you can make not only numbers or figures attached with tape to the wall, but also an arch. The process of creating an arch is the same as for garlands, the only difference is that balloons with helium are used for the arch.

The glowing balls also look unusual. A small battery-powered LED is placed inside the ball. In the evening, such balloons look magical, especially if at the end of the celebration those present release them into the sky.

You can fill the balls not only with confetti and LEDs, but also with water. During the warmer months, outdoor events are popular. In this case, you can fill the balls with water, they will not scatter, and during the celebration you can arrange a real battle with them. The main thing is to be able to dry the clothes after that.

The advantages of using balloons in an inflatable version during a celebration or as a surprise for a dear person are obvious.

If imagination fails, and the design with balloons falls on the shoulders of a heavy burden, ideas for design can be spied on the Internet, when there is absolutely no time to do this, you can also use the services of special aerodesign companies.

The balloon, invented for experiments with hydrogen, became an obligatory decoration of the holiday. Thanks to their wide range of decorative uses, they bring an atmosphere of joy and wonder.
