HERE 🎈 How to make your first balloon garland cluster in under 3 minutes.
If you can make one cluster, you can make an entire balloon garland.
Follow along with me and build this first cluster step by step. Once you learn the pattern, you simply repeat it until your garland is the length you want.
Each cluster creates about 1.5 to 2 feet of garland, which means a 10 foot garland can come together in around 30 minutes once you get going.
What you’ll need:
🎈 Ellie’s Party Supply premium balloons, pre sized for a fuller, more professional look
🎈 An electric balloon pump, highly recommended
🎈 One rubber band per cluster
🎈 A few minutes to follow along with me
That’s it.
Blow up two balloons at a time, tie them together, pair them up, and twist them together to create your cluster.
And please do not worry about making every balloon exactly the same size.
A little variation is a GOOD thing. Different sizes add depth, dimension, and that full organic look you see in professionally styled balloon garlands.
At Ellie’s Party Supply, we’ve done a lot of the work for you already.
Our DIY garland kits include a mix of balloon sizes selected to create that fuller look, plus balloon tape and glue dots for installation.

I’m a mom, a small business owner, and I work full time in corporate America. I want the party to look beautiful too, but I do not have hours and hours to spend decorating.
That is exactly why I love this method.
