Make Palm Tree Decorations
Creating a palm tree out of balloons is a unique and fun way to create palm tree decorations. You will need some specialty balloons, but they can be ordered online or purchased at a balloon supply store. The palm tree described in this article will be 10 feet tall. To create smaller or even larger palm trees, adjust the number of Link-o-Loons you use in the assembly of the palm trees. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
Make Palm Tree Decorations
1. Inflate the Link-o-Loons with helium.
2. Tie the Link-o-Loons together end to end to create a chain. Tie the bottom Link-o-Loon to a weight to hold the palm tree to the floor and in the upright position.
3. Inflate the 5 inch balloons with helium and tie them in clusters of four balloons. You do this by tying the knots of two balloons together, and then taking two sets of two balloons, and twisting them together.
4. Twist the clusters around the joints in the Link-o-Loons.
5. Inflate the 646 balloons with helium.
6. Tie two of them together at the knot. Repeat this step with all of them so you end up with four sets of two balloons.
7. Twist all four sets together at the knot to create one large cluster of balloons.
8. Take the top portion of the Link-o-Loons chain and tie it around the center of the 646-balloon cluster. This will create the palms of the palm tree.
