We made some glitter filled balloons this morning for New Year's Eve and Hudson had fun shaking them around. I made him play with them outside just in case they popped...
All you need is:
- Balloons
- Glitter
- Funnel
- Sharpie (if you want to write on the balloons)
Place the funnel inside of the balloon after you write on them.
Pour the glitter into the balloon and blow it up. Just make sure you don't breath in while doing this...or you'll get a mouthful of glitter...I'm not speaking from experience or anything. ;)
ohhh how fun!! I'm addicted to glitter!! so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love these ideas!
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! I think I'm going to use this with WATER BALLOONS :)
ReplyDeleteWill this work OK with helium?
ReplyDeleteI have never tried it with helium, but I don't see why not... May just be a little tricky keeping the glitter in while blowing the balloons up. Maybe try it outside ;)
DeleteA wise addition to this fantastic idea, is to be sure the balloons do NOT pop inside the house.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutly awesome. I'm such a glitter girl!
ReplyDeleteYou can definitely use helium with the glitter balloons. Just be sure to not inflate the balloon to it's full size as heat will make the latex expand and the balloons will pop.
ReplyDeleteI used to work for a balloon company and glitter balloons were one of the ones we made :)
Glitter! Glitter! Glitter! My daughter loves sparkles, sparkles is even her nickname.we will definitely try this project! :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter 6th birthday is coming up....great idea!
ReplyDeleteMake sure you get chunky glitter, fine glitter doesn't work so well.
ReplyDelete*imagining helium balloons filled with glitter flying over my house and combusting gloriously and dusting the neighborhood in glitter*
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteOh!Great Idea!!TFS

wow i'm so doing this for my 10 year class reunion! these will look great hanging from the ciling with all the x-mas lights i'm doing! thanks!:)
ReplyDeleteits fun! balloon with glitterS!
ReplyDeleteIf you were willing to deal with the cleanup, this would be really fun for new years to all pop them at midnight (outside??) and maybe confetti instead of glitter. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCool idea... I'm definitely going to do this for my sons hip hop party... Black n yellow Black n yellow!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I'm just wondering about the mess when they pop.
ReplyDeleteCan you do it with helium or only blowing it up yourself?
ReplyDeleteColor glitter in clear balloons would be cool. Doing a small colored balloon inside a larger clear with colored glitter would be nice too. Thanks for a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteGreat time a for a balloon pump!
ReplyDeleteI love glitter! These are goregeous, thanks! x
ReplyDeleteWill the glitter stick to the balloon? I wanna try it for my b-day and I am not sure if it needs any glue!
ReplyDeleteWhat about putting any type of glue inside so some of it stayed in place??? too much of a mess?--just a thought.
ReplyDeleteawesome idea...I am going to do this for a girl baby shower!!
ReplyDeletewould we need glue in order for it to stick inside the balloon ? or will it stick without . love these balloons . doing it for my 13 bitlrthday bash .
ReplyDeleteWhat do u mean glue??? I don't think you understand the project.
DeleteThe glue will help the glitter stick to the inside of the balloons and make them sparkle more!!! Also if they pop it is less of a mess
DeleteWe have some glow in the dark balloons i want to try this with them
ReplyDeleteHow much glitter do i use on each balloon??
ReplyDeleteIs it that hard to decide how much? Weird question.
DeleteEasy to do and so much fun! I'll do this! thank you!
