Balloon Cluster or Topiary Tree Instructions

What you need for a 'Cluster or Topiary Tree'

• 5" high quality latex balloons, colour of your choice 
• curling ribbon 5mm,
• 3 or 4 balloons sticks tied together
• Gift Box filled with sand
• Balloon Pump
• Balloon Sizer- can be a bowl or cut out cardboard with an 5" hole
• a good pair of scissors.

STEP 1:

   

Inflate two 5" latex balloons with balloon pump.  Preferably you use a sizer to ensure that all balloons are uniform.  Tie the two balloon necks together to make a set.

STEP 2:      Repeat Step 1 three times to make four pairs of balloons altogether..

 STEP 5:

 Twist two sets together making a cluster of four.
Add another pair of balloons to make a cluster of six. (You can stop here if you like but a cluster of eights looks great!)  
Add another pair to make a cluster of eight! This cluster can now be decorated and hung from the ceiling with fishing wire or attached to the top of a topiary stand.

Step 6; Topiary stand- Prepare box for base of topiary stand by filling with clean sand and sealing lid with clear tape. Push a pen through the middle of the top of the box to create a hole. A stand can also be created using a terracotta pot filled with sand and topped with pebbles for decoration. Tip; Sand works best if it is slightly damp! 

Step 7; Tie 3 or 4 balloon sticks together. Push sticks through top of box to create centre of topiary tree. 

Step 8; Twist balloon cluster around the top of the topiary stand. Decorate by inserting curling ribbon or tulle in between balloons. Large Floor standing topiary Trees can also be created using Stauchions and 11' Balloons. (See Hire list under Staging & Display)  Stauchions also make a fantastic base for balloon columns.
