What You’ll Need:
-Balloons
-Permanent marker
-Scissors
-Ruler or measuring tape
-Optional: clear packing tape or double-sided tape
Step 1: Measure and Cut the Ribbon
Start by measuring out a length of ribbon that is twice the width of the balloon. For example, if your balloon is 12 inches wide, cut a length of ribbon that is 24 inches long. Then, use scissors to cut the ribbon at this length. Repeat for all balloons.
Step 2: Attach the Ribbon to the Balloon
Next, take one end of the ribbon and tie it around the base of the balloon, making sure to leave a long tail. If you’re using clear packing tape or double-sided tape, attach a small strip to the end of the ribbon before tying it onto the balloon. This will help keep the ribbon in place.
Step 3: Tie a Knot in the Ribbon
Tie a simple knot in the ribbon to secure it in place. Make sure the knot is tight so that it doesn’t come undone.

How to Make a Balloon Arch
Creating a balloon arch is a great way to decorate for any birthday party, and it’s easier than you might think. All you need is some patience, a bit of time, and some supplies from your local party store.
Here’s what you’ll need to create a basic balloon arch:
-A large bag of balloons in your desired colors
– Balloon pump
– A string or ribbon
– Scissors
– Tape
– A weight (a large book will do)
Start by inflating all of your balloons using the balloon pump. Once they are all inflated, tie each one off with a knots, making sure to leave a long tail. Next, cut two pieces of string or ribbon, each about eight feet long. Tie each piece of string to opposite sides of the weight, leaving enough slack so that you can easily move the weight around.
Now begin creating your balloon arch by threading the long tails of the balloons through the string or ribbon. Start in the middle and work your way out, creating a symmetrical design. Once you have all of the balloons in place, use tape to secure the string or ribbon in place on either side of the weight. And that’s it! Your balloon arch is complete and ready for your party guests to enjoy.
