Over the years, Luc Bertrand, CBA of WaWballoons in Vichte, Belgium has kindly created and shared a number of amazing designs with the Very Best Balloon Blog so that we can share them with the 'balloon community.' This year he has generously shared his updates to his wonderful QuickLink 'Santa' mural that he made a few years ago!
Medium Santa Head
This is probably my favourite variation! I definitely need to make one of these!

Finding quick, easy and sellable designs is always a little challenging, especially when you are building your seasonal offerings! Today, I would like to share this cute and festive gnome design that I recently created and shared with the viewers of BMTV.

Balloon inflation sizes as a reminder:
Base and 3rd cluster inflated to 8"
2nd/middle cluster inflated to 3.5"
Additional Tips:
This design is perfect for personalising with someone's name for Christmas.
Add Hi-Float to the 260Q's to help the balloons last longer.
Always ensure that any helium-inflated foil balloons are safely secured to a balloon weight.
This design could be made with alternative latex balloons to create a completely different look for the box/gift base.
Here is another quick, easy, and festive idea! When you create a design that you really love, why not make it into a gift card that you can share with your friends, family and customers!
Here is my 2021 Christmas card, made using CANVA! It is so easy to do and gives you the opportunity to create something very special and unique!
