Balloon Hoop Workshop

Balloon Hoop Workshop

Equipment

These are the Inflators we use! We recommend an air pump that is strong enough to inflate your double-stuffed balloons. Lower quality inflators will overheat after a few minutes of use but it’s good enough for single balloons like the ones we did in class today. The second inflator is strictly used to inflate 260Qs, double stuffed 5” and mini-orbz

Balloons

There are different brands of balloons available. We like Qualatex and it is the one we use 90% of the time.  Today, we wanted to introduce to you TufTex, a brand new to us here in Canada. I am really enjoying the colours they have, check them out!  

The colors we used today in class – Canyon Rose and Fog from TufTex, Reflex Gold from Sempertex, Clear from Qualatex for the confetti balloons 

As per sizes of balloons, all of our balloon hoop is all built with duplex of 11” and 16” ( we use one duplex of both 11” and the next duplex of one 11” and one 16” – We use small balloons (5”) at the end to accent our garland. We personally stay away from big balloons or Anagram orbz as we like to keep the perfect rounded shape 

Suppliers

We purchase most of our supply from Surprize Enterprize. They are a Canadian operated Wholesaler; if you are in Canada, we highly recommend them.  There are two other particularly good suppliers we go to — Balloon Depot (SKS Novelty) – they carry TufTex and Bargain Balloons (BB also has a US website).  

Balloon Tape 

We prefer Balloon Bond as you can easily cut it into small pieces but U-glu dashes is a good alternative 

Confetti Balloons: 

The tool we use to open the small balloons and fill them up with confetti is a castration tool from Amazon.   

See a picture below of the exact confetti we used during class. However, you can use confetti you can find, they will all work similar.  We buy ours from Surprize Enterprize

The balloon is a 5” clear latex balloon from Qualatex 

Round Hoop and Floral:

We bought out round hoop from Western Global and the diameter is 6ft without the balloons and about 7ft with the balloons.  This is a good place to buy your floral to. Michaels is always an option for flowers, but it can be more overprice.  

Tip: Try to find a Wedding Supplier near you, they will have backdrops and floral. 

We highly recommend you invest in this round hoop (we paid less than $200 CAN and it’s rented for $150 every time I use it)  You can make different designs with it. It is easy to assemble and very easy to transport 

3D Butterfly stickers

We decided to add butterflies at end to add a more dramatic look to the hoop and because they are very trendy so we could share the info. We buy them from Amazon

 Pricing:

We offer this decoration for $650 CND plus delivery and tax. Our price includes the balloons and the rental of the hoop.  Flowers and butterflies can be added for additional price. We normally charge $80-$100 for flowers as I will collect them back along with the hoop. Butterflies are $50 

Always remember to get the cost of material, in this case cost of balloons and tape (about $10 worth -for us-), labour, overhead, transportation and PROFIT.  Happy $elling ! 

Thank you very much for joining our class, I really hope you enjoy it as much I we did putting it together for you !!! 

Please send us pictures of your creations, we love to showcase our student’s work while you enjoy the benefit of some exposure 😊 

You can create anything you can imagine! There are no limits 

 

Love,
