Supplies for a Floral Balloon Garland:
Balloons
Needle (not pictured)
Small washers (not pictured)
Scissors
Tape
Fake flowers or greenery
1. Blow Up the Balloons
First of all, I blew up a handful balloons, all in different sizes. For my party, I bought a 20 count (or so) bag in each color. My kids decided to help out making my job so much easier!Â
2. Thread the Balloons onto the Fishing Line
Next, I gathered my needle, fishing line and balloons. Then I threaded the fishing line onto the needle, poking the needle through the bottom part of the balloon below the tie.Â
With my needle and fishing line, I threaded more balloons onto the fishing line. I added varying colors and sizes to add diversity.
3. Cut Off the End of the Fishing Line
Once all of the balloon were on the fishing line, I cut off the end. It’s helpful to leave a little extra fishing line at the end so the balloons don’t fall off. You might want to have someone help out during this phase.
4. Attach a Washer to the Ends
Next, I tied small metal washers to each end of the balloon garland. This ensures that the balloons do not fall off the fishing line.
5. Add Flowers & Greenery
After I finished creating my balloon garland, I tied flowers or greenery to the balloon ends using fishing line. The cute floral accents to matched my sister’s floral bridal shower perfectly!
6. Fill in the Gaps
Next, I taped balloons together to fill in the gaps. For this project I used scotch tape, but a low temperature glue gun is also effective. Â
7. Display Your Balloon Garland
At last, the final result! To create a fun backdrop, I draped the balloon garland around a large chalkboard at my sister’s bridal shower table. It was a real statement piece!
There you have it! Balloon garlands are so simple to make and they dress up any party! A birthday party is another fun event to create a balloon garland for. Take a look at my construction and galaxy themed parties for fun balloon arch inspiration!

I just did a big project with balloons and glue dots work quite well to keep them together. Love this easy garland. Totally doable!
This is so cute! I made my first balloon garland this summer and was pleased with how easy….albeit time consuming…it was. You did a great job.
Thanks so much Bri! They are kinda easy to make!
Ohh cool! Glue dots would be a great option!
Thank you!! I wanted to make a balloon garland and all the other tutorials say just use a balloon strip…which I don’t have. Fishing line I’ve got! 😘
