Traditionally parties have the same set up. You have your food, you have the balloons, the cake and so on - but instead of going the traditional route change things up for your next party by using balloons in a whole new way. These ideas are simple and adorable!

Make balloons more fun

Paint ordinary foam balls different colors, thread them together with a needle and string, add a dot of hot glue to each end (once positioned where you want them on the string) and that's it! Doesn't it add so much more to ordinary balloons? Get more details here.

Light it up with LED

Buy LED accessories from the local Dollar Store. In this case LED keychains were purchased to insert into each balloon. Before filling the balloon with helium turn on the LED light and insert it into the balloon. Blow them up and watch them light up in magnificent colors.

No helium? No problem!

Are you in a pinch and unable to get helium to fill up your balloons? If so just tape them to the ceiling and hang them by their string at various lengths.

Honeycomb String

Use 1 inch and 5 inch mini honeycombs to attach around the balloon string using adhesive. Work your way from the bottom up and stack each honeycomb on top of one another.

Hot Air Balloon

This adorable hot air balloon is so easy to make! If you don't have helium, use a clear straw to keep the balloon propped up. Use two pieces of ribbon to give it the hot air balloon effect. One ribbon will go from one side of the balloon to the opposite end and the other ribbon will go over it in a criss cross fashion. Learn more details here.
