Two
5" Quads are "tied" together with a 160Q. A second 160Q is attached and
looped for the bow. A Third 160Q makes a bow at the bottom of the
Bubble Balloon. The Bubble Balloon is attached to a sand weight which
is in between the two stacked quads. Helium only in the Bubble.
Pot
of Gold is made from 16" Black Geo Donut with a Black 260Q attached to
the top of the Donut with Glue Dots. Gold 260Q's are attach through the
hole in the Donut to a sand weight. Emerald 260Q's add a splash of
green to the pot of gold. All air.
Pedastal
is made of 2 quads of undersized 11" latex. Four 646Q's are tied
through the quads. Foil balloon as a ribbon pulled down through the
quads. All Air. Sand weight at the bottom stabalizes this easy floor
decor.
Frame
is made from 646Q with quads of 5" at the corners. Foil is tied to
frame with 10 pound monofilament. Frame is all air and hung from
ceiling with a ClickMagnet and monofilament. Foil can be filled with
helium and tied at bottom of frame OR filled with air and hung with
Hang-a-Tabs and tied to the top of the frame. Frame and foil spin
separately for a cool effect.
24"
Deco Bubble is used to make a gum ball and filled with helium. 16" Geo
Blossom and 350Q are filled with air. Don't forget, Bubbles have a lot
of lift and float for weeks.
Lay
four 36" Moons flat on a table stacked on top of each other. Tie the
tips top and bottom together with a 260Q, rubberband, etc. Air inflate
moons. Attach 5" quads to the valve on the back of the moon. Hang
with ClickMagnet. Place one set of quads pushed in to the space
between the 4 moons to keep the moons spaced. Other ideas for
decorating the ball of 4 moons: Hang a Sparkle Ribbon from the top of
the moons and another Sparkle ribbon from the bottom of the moons;
Suspend a 20" star in the middle of the moons; Add 260Q's to the bottom
of the Moons; A bunch of curling ribbon hanging from the bottom; Put a
3' in the middle of the Moons. Remember the Cresent Moon comes in all
kinds of fun colors.
An
easy and decorative way to organize your pre cut curling ribbon. Make a
loop from a pipe cleaner. Attach it to the ring of a ClickMagnet. A
quad hides the mechanics. The curling ribbon can be easily pulled out
of the loop for use when you need it. Ribbon stays organized and makes
a decorative display in your shop.
