How to make Disney princesses balloon sculpture


Tips: Do not put too much air in foil balloons, it is much easier to glue them together if the surface is slightly soft. Tear the glue sheets into stripes to use. 

 

Recommended tools: balloon pump, measuring tape

1. Blow up 12PCs 12inch balloons to similar sizes, suggest 20-22cm, tie knots. (place a ruler or measuring tape or an object next to the balloon when blowing)

2. Tie 2 of them together to make 6 pairs.

Pick the balloon colour you like to put together,  blow them up to similar size, tie 2 balloons together to make a pair 

3. Pick 2 pairs, stack them on top of each other like a shape of cross, twist the joint to join them together to make one set, then level them. (Don't worry if they move, as long as they join together)

4. Repeat step 3, make three 12inch balloon sets.

 

 

5. Blow up 8PCs 5inch balloons (suggest 10cm), tie 2 of them together to make 4 pairs, repeat step 3, make two 5inch sets.

6. (You will need some space in this step) Open the ribbon, place it on a flat surface, then place first 12inch balloon set on top of the ribbon. 

7. Place a 5inch set on top of the 12inch set (rotate 45 degrees), pull the ribbon around the balloon gaps up and down several times to tie them together. 

 

8. As the picture shows, place 12inch set and 5inch set on top, one after each other, each time rotate 45 degrees and tie, until the base is stable, pull tight and tie a knot. Base is made.

 

9. Blow up the number balloon, if you have a name sticker stick it on. 

10. Optional: Use balloon pump to blow up 2 stick balloons to the length just can wrap the number balloon, wrap around the number balloon, tie knots on the back.

Blow up 1 gold stick balloon, make a balloon necklace(scroll down for the instruction), wrap it around the number balloon in the middle of two stick balloons, tie knots on the back.

 

11. Turn the base 90 degrees. Place the number balloon on the top, find the best position then stick it onto the base with multiple glue dots until it is stable. Glue princess balloon next to the number balloon on the base. Glue other decorative foil balloons on.

If your number is 4,7, you may need to add extra balloons behind or under the number to balance it, extra balloon will be included in the pack.

12. Glue leaves on, make another balloon necklace, glue it on the base. Blow up 5 inch balloons, glue them on the base to cover the gap.
