A summer party with floating plant balloons

Combine floaters and climbers

If you’re going to be enjoying a summer picnic, hen night or birthday soon, we’ve got a fun DIY project for you to breathe new life into balloons. Floaters with climbers!

Balloons are guaranteed to provide a fun factor. Try updating the ‘normal’ helium balloon with a string made of ivy and flowers. It gives a romantic, cheerful effect which lends that little something extra to your party decorations!

How to make the balloons:

Step 1. Buy one or more balloons. Preferably a larger size, so that it is not dragged down by the weight of the plant string.

Step 2. Select sisal string or fishing line as the basis. Don’t forget to secure the balloon or hang a weight from the bottom so that it does not float away. 

Step 3. Select your choice of climbing plant, e.g. Hedera, and wrap it around the string. 

Step 4. Add a couple of your favourite flowers to provide the finishing touch.

We would love to see the end result! Share it with us on Facebook!
