Read about how to beautifully decorate an apartment or house with balloons in the article.
Ideas and options
There are many ways to decorate your home with balloons. Let's consider the most popular options and interesting ideas.
Separate balls
Balloon "sky" is the easiest way to decorate. To implement it, you just need to fill with gas many latex products of the same or different shades and release them to the ceiling. You can tie the balls with satin ribbons or shiny ribbons that will hang beautifully from above, or you can complicate the task. For example, if you are preparing a surprise for your loved one, attach a note with compliments, wishes and warm words to each balloon.
If it's Valentine's Day, small hearts attached to each ribbon would be appropriate.
You can decorate a gift with a ball. To do this, you need to fill it with helium and tie it with a beautiful ribbon. A load (gift) should be attached to the end of the tape. For example, it could be a stuffed toy or something in a box. Depending on the size and weight of the presentation, you can attach one or more balls to it, put the composition on the floor, bedside table, table, bed or any other surface.This design will delight both the child and the adult. If there are a lot of gifts, several similar compositions will be released.
It will be interesting if you just tie a small decorative weight to each ball, distributing the elements around the room. It is better to make the height different - this way the design will be more original. You can make bundles from several products.
Structures on frames
Banquet halls are usually decorated with massive structures made of balls. However, it is possible to create a small arch or panel in the apartment as well. For example, the fabulous rainbow will delight the little ones, and the heart, fixed on the wall on Valentine's Day, will make the soul mate. Installation of the composition will require a special workpiece made of solid material, on which the products are fixed using double-sided tape or another method.
Thematic options
Creating three-dimensional shapes from balls opens up a lot of imagination. For a children's party, it is better to make big flowers and fantasy trees. Kids will also be pleased with the figures of various animals or cartoon characters, made up of small balls. If you doubt your skill, you can invite specialists to decorate the holiday or go the easy way - just buy ready-made figures of cartoon characters from foil, inflate them and "put" on stands made of ordinary balloons.
Avalanche
This solution is perfect for a party with guests. A mesh is stretched under the ceiling, into which a large number of balls filled with simple air are folded. When guests enter the room or at some solemn moment (for example, when congratulating the birthday boy), someone should pull the string that relaxes the net. At this moment, the balls will fall down in an avalanche.
Such a technique can give solemnity to the holiday, but you should not use it in a room with a set table. - balls can hit the snacks, overturn glasses or mugs. If there is no food, drinks or fragile fragile objects in the room, an avalanche is not a bad idea.
Table decoration
If you want to decorate a living room with a set table with balls, you can use special coasters. Latex products covered with transparent fabric (for example, tulle), standing in miniature vases, look nice. A composition of 3 balls with a weight can be placed in the center of the round table. However, you should not be zealous with this type of decoration - the decor should not interfere with the view of guests and a convenient meal.
Bed decoration
This technique is often used to please beloved girls and wives. Just lay out helium-free heart-shaped balloons on the bed, and place a stuffed toy or other gift in the center. You can inflate the products with gas and create a mini-cloud over the bed, and place compositions with weights on the sides. The gift reception described earlier will also work.
Glowing balls
Such a decision will delight the child, since after the holiday he will be left with "magic" balls that function as a night light. Glowing products will be appropriate both for a romantic evening and for a youth home party. To bring the idea to life, you can buy ready-made transparent products with LEDs. The second option is to make it yourself.
In this case, the glowing elements are placed inside regular latex balloons before being inflated with helium.
Examples of beautiful DIY jewelry
You can decorate a house, room or apartment yourself. It is enough to use a simple instruction.
Flowers
Let's analyze the manufacture of a three-dimensional figure using the example of a bouquet.
- Take balls of regular and elongated shapes, strong thread, ribbons and wires. You also need a hand pump.
- Inflate 5 round pieces of the same shade. These will be petals.
- Tie them together with string or wire. Keep in mind that the petals should "look" in different directions.
- Inflate one round balloon in a different color.It should be smaller than the first. This will be the core of the flower.
- Connect the petals to the core. The latter should be located on top.
- Make a stem from elongated green items and fasten it to the top.
- Repeat the process several times to get 3 or more flowers.
- Tie up the resulting products with a ribbon or a long ball (you can have any shade).
- Connect 4 round balls together. This will create the base of the composition.
- Insert flowers in the center. The composition is ready.
Garlands of "fruit"
This solution is suitable for a children's party or some themed evening. In this case, regular balls are given the appearance of fruit with the help of the right shades and leaves made of paper. For example, 2 red balls combined together can become a cherry, and several purple ones can become a bunch of grapes. Finished "fruits" are fixed on a stretched fishing line according to the principle of a garland. You can also use foil balls in the form of kiwi, orange and other fruits.
Cloud
If you tie several light blue, blue or white balls together, you can get a shape that resembles a cloud. Some people combine these colors in one shape, but monochrome versions are still more realistic.
To make the composition more interesting, you can add a rainbow made of long balls, a sun or a month made of foil to the cloud. Another great option is to cut drops out of paper, glue them to a thread or fishing line and fix them on the structure with tape. It will rain.
Animals
By attaching balls of various shapes and colors together, as well as using a marker and paper, you can create large figures of realistic and fantasy animals. For example, it can be a lamb made of white balls with a beige muzzle. You just need to draw the eyes, nose and smile. You can also make a bear, hare, tiger, cat and other animals. Missing elements (such as ears) can be cut out of paper and glued to the shape.
Balls with surprises
Both children and adults love surprises. To make the holiday more interesting, the balloons should be filled with confetti, sparkles, and good wishes before filling with gas. Some people fill big balls with small ones. In order for the contents to scatter on the participants of the celebration, you need to pierce the product with a sharp object (for example, a needle on a stick).
Tips & Tricks
Before you go shopping for balloons, there are a few basic things to keep in mind.
Quantity
It is worthwhile to think over a plan for decorating a room in advance and calculate the approximate number of necessary elements. This also applies to volumetric figures, and arches, and single balls that will hang in the air.
Colors
When choosing the color scheme of products, you should focus on the theme of the celebration. Bright shades are suitable for decorating a children's party. It can be a rainbow riot of colors or a harmonious combination of 2-3 colors, depending on the gender of the child. For girls, pink and purple tones are usually chosen. For boys - blue, turquoise, blue.
Adult girls like gentle and noble options more. The most popular combination includes pale pink, white and silver shades. And also a golden-white combination is in demand. If a surprise is intended for a man, you can opt for black and gold or silver and blue. However, if the culprit (culprit) of the occasion has other color preferences, the choice will be obvious.
The form
Feel free to combine ordinary balloons with foil products. This is especially useful when celebrating birthdays. It is easier to buy ready-made figures than to construct them from latex products. Heart-shaped balls will help to express feelings.
You can create a fabulous atmosphere for children with the help of a sparkling moon and stars, cartoon characters and other figures.
You can also use balls of thread, although this is a very specific type of decor. Only an adult with an unusual sense of style can appreciate it. Such products look good in the New Year's theme, they are successfully combined with luminous garlands and they themselves perform the function of nightlights (with bulbs inside).
