| Materials:
Helium: About 1.5 cu. ft. per fish.
1 - 16" Latex Spray Decorated Balloon (body of fish)
2 -
5" white balloons (use for eyeballs)
Black Permanent marker to draw
pupils on the eyeballs.
2 - 260Q Latex Balloons for lips
and tail of fish (these are the long balloons used by balloon
twisters)
Plastic Balloon Inflator
 or
Cool Air Balloon Inflator
Curling Ribbon
Balloon Templates 16" & 5" Sizes (see fig.1)
Cool Glue Gun
Scissors
Balloon Weight Helium will
only float the balloons for about 10 to 12 hours. Add a squirt
of
Hi Float Liquid before filling balloons with helium to make them stay
inflated 3 to 5 times longer. Tips:
Create a balloon bouquet of 2 Balloon Fish and 5 - 16" solid-color
latex balloons. Make your bouquet stand out by using spray decorated
balloons, and clear balloons filled with confetti.
If you are going to just
hang the fish down from the ceiling, you will not need
to use helium or balloon weights.
For the body, use 16" Spray Decorated balloons in Assorted Sprays
designs to add texture, interest, and fun.
Balloon Fish capture attention by themselves or grouped with other
latex and foil balloons.
Maximize float time, by treating the 16" latex with
Hi Float Liquid
balloon flight extender. |
For the body, use 16" Spray
Decorated balloons in Assorted Sprays designs to add texture,
interest, and fun.
Sizing
Balloons
It is important that all the balloons
are blown up to the same size. An easy way to size the balloons
is to make a template. Cut a round hole in a piece of poster
foam board or a box the size you want the balloons to be, and
when inflating pass the balloon through the hole.
