I initially found this "How To" here and decided that I would give this a try for my son's 1st birthday. This was super easy and not too expensive. The overall cost will depend upon the quantity and price of the balloons. This cost me about $45.00.
You will want to purchase the following -
Straw wreath (I used 12")
Greening Pins (see pic below)
Balloons ( I used 12")
Pic of Greening pins which can be found at any craft store.
Now onto the balloons. The quantity of balloons will depend upon the size and how full you would like
the wreath. The smaller the balloons the more will be needed to make the wreath full. With that being said I actually used about 500 (gasp) 12" balloons.
This took me about 5 hours to make. Oh, and last tip - leave the plastic on the wreath. Thanks to How Does She for this tip.
Yay, Welcome to the blogging world.
