What You Received:
In your order you will have received 4 balloons in purple, pink, black, and nude. There are only 3 layers in the balloon tower, so the extra set is in case a balloon has a hole, which is rare. You have the option to add a 4th layer to your tower or use the balloons at your party!
As shown in the video instructions, the additional single balloon is used to weigh down your balloon tower by filling it with water. There are also two 260 balloons and they are used to connect the layers and the ghost to your tower.
What Type of Balloon Pump Should I Use?
You have two options for filling the latex and foil balloons. You can use a manual balloon pump or an electric. Both will be able to fill the latex and foil balloons. Just be careful not to overfill and pop your baby ghost balloon.
If you did not order a balloon pump, here are a few we recommend:

When Should I Make My Balloon Tower?
Your balloon tower can be made 2-3 days prior to your event. However, it will look best if you make it as close to your event date as possible. Also, the sun can wash out the color of the balloons, so if you will be making your garland in advance, please store it out of the sun or out of direct sunlight.
*TIP: Balloon towers can take anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour to make, depending on what type of balloon pump you are using, so please make sure you allow for enough time to make it.
Blow Up Your Balloons:
If you ordered the balloon pump, then you will place the balloon on the pump, firmly hold the balloon onto the the tip of the pump (to prevent air leakage), and pump your balloon.
Be careful not to overfill your balloon or it will pop. You will get a sense, by looking at it, when it is close to full capacity.
Once your balloon is filled take it off the pump and tie a knot.
* TIP: To create a more contoured balloon garland with depth, we recommend blowing up the 11 inch balloons in various sizes. If you blow all the 11 inch balloons up at full capacity, then the decorating strip may get really full in some areas making it hard to place multiple 11 inch balloons next to each other.
* We also recommend blowing up all your balloons first, then attaching them to the balloon decorating strip.
How to Create a Round Balloon Versus an Oval Shaped Balloon:
If you want to give the balloon a more rounded out shape, then you can lightly push the balloon against a table top or floor, all the while releasing just a little air to help give it shape. This will flatten out the top of the balloon, so it will have less of that oval shape that it will naturally create. Once you are happy with the size and shape, then tie a knot.
