I made this balloon wreath to use for our families birthdays. I hang it on the door in the house for a few days before & after their birthday. On the day of their party I hang it on the outside of the door. I have glitter foam letters with each child’s first initial that I put on the wreath at the birthday. I was totally inspired by A Grande Life!
Items needed:
- Craft wreath. I used straw wreath with the plastic cover intact. A foam wreath would also work.
- Straight pins, wig/ T pins or any kind of long pin
- Balloons. Lots of balloons. The amount needed will depend on the size of your wreath. I used about 150
- Foam/wood letter, picture frame or any other item you want to personalize your wreath
Instructions:
- Get comfy, this is going to take awhile. I did mine while watching TV
- Using 1 pin per balloon attach by pushing the pin through the balloon & into the wreath. I folded my balloons in half because they were large & I alternated directions with each one. I attached them in a line all the way around. then started another line above/below that. I think you could also just attach them in sections & it would make no difference.
- After you have finished attaching all the balloons you think you need, hang it & make sure none of the bare wreath is showing from any angle.
- Add your personalized item if using & celebrate!
