LET’S MAKE GHOST BALLOON FLOATERS HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS!
I actually used to buy these in solid colors at a local balloon shop here in my town that since went out of business. Kids loved them so much that I decided to make a ghost face version of them myself since I couldn’t buy them anymore. They are super easy with a few supplies from Oriental Trading. Want to see how to make them? Let’s get started!
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED:
– pack of ghost face 11″ latex balloons
– Balloon Time helium tank
– black and white twine
– scissors
– plastic craft straws
STEP 1: FILL ONE BALLOON WITH HELIUM!
Fill one of the ghost face latex balloons with helium and tie the end.
STEP 2: FILL ANOTHER BALLOON WITH AIR!
Next, blow up another ghost face latex balloon with air. Filling it a lot smaller than the helium-filled one. (as shown) Tie the end.
STEP 3: ATTACH THE BALLOONS TO THE CRAFT STRAW!
Using the black and white twine, attach the tied end of the helium-filled balloon to one end of the plastic craft straw and the smaller air-filled balloon to the opposite end of the craft straw.
STEP 4: STAND IT UP WITH THE AIR-FILLED BALLOON ON THE BOTTOM!
The air-filled balloon will prevent the balloons from rising off the floor but the helium one will keep it upright. It looks as if they are floating. Continue to make as many as you want.
NOW IT’S TIME TO DISPLAY IT!
Place these all around your party space for some spooky fun! The air flow in your house will make the Ghost Balloon Floaters Halloween Decorations move around on the floor as if the ghosts are floating around! Check out how I used them in my BOO BLACK AND WHITE HALLOWEEN PARTY including lots of how-to tips to recreate it yourself.
