In Part 1 of this two-part video tutorial, I demonstrate how to create the perfect frame for this super cute "Baby Moon" design. For a direct link to this video, click HERE.
Here is a reminder of the materials and equipment that you will need to make the frame:
Here is a reminder of the materials and equipment that you will need to make the frame:
Frame Material and Equipment List:
- 1 x 3m length - 6mm or 1/4" Aluminium Rod
- Pipe or Bolt Cutters
- Gaffa or Duct Tape
- Pipe Bender if you have one but it's not essential
- NOT (Lamp) Base - this is an inexpensive IKEA (lamp) product that many balloon professionals use to support designs.
- NOT (Lamp) Pole x 1 (If you don't have access to an IKEA NOT Base and Pole you will need to find a good, similar alternative.)
- White Floral Quick Drying Spray Paint
- String or ribbon to measure
- Circular Template - such as a hoop
Balloon Material List - you can change the balloon colours to suit your client's needs.
- 18" Baby Girl Pink Stripes Microfoil™️ Balloon - #88004
- 11" White - only a few for the cloud base
- 5" Pink or Rose
- 5" Pearl Pink - optional
- 5" White
- 5" Pearl White - optional, but it does give a slightly different textural look to the plain white
- 5" Diamond Clear - approximately 10
- 7" Chrome Gold - approximately 10
- 260Q Chrome Gold - approximately 15
- 260Q Pink - 4-5
Other items:
- Gold Metallic Confetti
- Ultra Hi-Float - I use the NEW Mini Bottle - 148ml (5oz) as the nozzle is perfect for using with 5" and 260Q balloons
- Premium Twin-Air Sizer II Balloon Inflator - this will help you naturally size your balloons using the "10th's of a second" timer adjustment. While you can use any inflator to make this design, I use the Twin-Air as it makes the sizing of the balloons very easy!
- Castration Pliers - to stretch open the 5" balloons
You may also want to use a few Uglu Dashes when connecting the foil balloon and pink ribbon for a nice finishing touch!
