Balloon Star Wall
Make this patriotic backdrop display using foil star balloons and painters tape to attach to the wall.
Yield: 1 backdrop
Cost: $28
Equipment
- 1 straw for inflating balloons
Materials
- 4 blue foil star balloons
- 8 red foil star balloons
- 8 white foil star balloons
- 1 roll painters tape
Instructions
- Start by blowing up a few balloons in each color to get a general idea of how many you'll need for your wall. I used 4 blue, 8 red and 8 white star balloons in an 18" size.
- Wrap a piece of painters tape around your hand and adhere to the back of a ballon.
- Start placing your star balloons on the wall and pressing to the wall to secure them. I started with the blue stars to get an idea of how far across I should go with the red and white stripes.
- Add your red and white star balloons in a row to the side of the blue balloons to create the image of an American flag. When I first started the display I thought I would use 4 across, but I ended up using 5 balloons in each row.
