Confetti Balloons How-to

CONFETTI BALLOONS: These are a great addition to any adult birthday party or event. Our Confetti Balloons will create a stunning backdrop that will wow your guests. Designed in-house to ensure your even will be unlike any other. 

Our most asked question for these balloons is “how does the confetti stick to the sides?” Lets get right to it!

Air VS Helium

Filling a confetti balloon with air, is the easiest way to get your confetti to cling to the sides of your balloon but it will not allow it to float. 

helium will allow the balloon to float but the confetti will pool at the bottom of the balloon – see below.  
Confetti balloons have a shorter float time due to the added weight of the confetti inside, so should be inflated as close to the event as possible.

Air Filling

1) Please Always inflate the balloons with a balloon pump. 
Due to the small parts inside the confetti balloons we do not recommend inflating by mouth. Warm moist air from your lungs can also result in condensation inside the balloon and will make them cloudy.
 
2) Make sure the balloon is properly inflated
Most of our balloons are 12″ and if not fully inflated may appear cloudy as the latex has not been stretched enough. Do not over-inflate as the balloon will pop. 11″ is generally the happy spot. 
 
3) Liven the Confetti
Rubbing all sides with a natural fabric such as a wool scarf or sock to create static will help the confetti stick to the sides of the balloon. Give it a good shake also. 

 

Inflating Confetti Balloons with Helium: 

1) Use a mixture of air and helium 
Using a balloon pump add a few puffs of air first and the rest helium. The air will help the confetti cling to the sides of the balloon and the helium will allow it to float. If you only use helium, you will find that the confetti will pool at the bottom of the balloon and it will be difficult to get it to stick.
 
2) Properly inflate
If a balloon is not inflated fully it may not float due to the weight of the confetti inside, this is one of the most common reasons for confetti balloons not floating. Do not over-inflate as the balloon will pop.
 
3) Liven the confetti
Rubbing all sides with a natural fabric like a wool scarf or sock to create static will help the confetti stick to the sides of the balloon. If you are having trouble getting the confetti to stick to the sides, you may need more air pumps.
