Making Artificial Clouds

This is an awesome project for a photo shoot, a kids party or maybe just for a room decoration... 

So how do you make a cloud?

You will need:

• Tape
• Latex Balloons
• Glue (water and flour)
• Adhesive Spray
• Newspaper
• Pillow stuffing
• Patience.

1. Cover your work surface with a big sheet. 

2. Tape as many blown-up balloons together as you like, to form your perfect cloud.

3. Make your Glue by mixing up a big batch paste of water and flour and whisk until smooth.

4. Gather up lots of newspaper and tear into thick shreds. Dip shreds into the paste, removing excess paste as you lift from bowl, and smooth all over the balloons, until they are fully covered.

Allow to dry completely. (This can take up to 24 hours).

5. Next, cover the clouds with pillow stuffing (polyester fiber). To do so, use a spray adhesive, and spray little sections at a time, and adhere little bunch by bunch of the stuffing. Repeat, again and again, until the cloud is all covered.

And just like that, a cloud is born... no need of science.

Number & Letter Foil Balloons

Numbers and Letters have arrived and are online!

These Number and Letter shaped Foil Balloons can be used for all sorts of things from birthdays to new year celebrations.

These simply look stunning.  Right now available in gold and measuring a colossal 34” inches, these balloons are sure to add a ‘WOW’ factor to your event.

 

Spell out names, celebration or even messages. You can also say it with number balloons, they are ideal for decorating birthdays, graduations, exhibition stands etc.  

The balloons can be filled with helium to float and attached to weights to keep in place.  These foil balloons will float with helium for several days but thanks to the built-in self-sealing valve, they can be ‘refilled’ if necessary.  

If you need a long-lasting display, here's a little trick by simply filling the balloons with air and suspend them using the clever little tabs at the top of the balloons and attach ribbon or nylon line. This way, the balloons will stay inflated (but not afloat) for many weeks!

So next time, why not consider using giant foil letter balloons?
