How to make a balloon heart - some ideas by: Margit
Unfortunately we have no step-by-step guide for a balloon heart (yet). Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Use 1/4 inch aluminium rod to make your own frame. Sketch the heart shape on your driveway, then bend the rod accordingly. Connect the ends with tape or plastic tubing.
- Build clusters of 4 balloons and attach them to the frame, as explained in our "Spiral Column" page.
- Start at the top and wrap going down one side clockwise and the other side counter-clockwise. That way the shape looks equally balanced from both sides.
- Hanging the heart from the ceiling is the easiest way to present it. If you want it standing you need to bend your rod at the bottom of your design with a 90 degree angle. These ends can then be put into a pipe or conduit that you have screwed into your base.
You could also buy a ready made frame from a specialised balloon supplier. "BalloonQH" mentions these suppliers in the US as sources:
"All American Balloon Supply" phone (714) 543-2255
"Koch" phone 1-800-457-3757
"Modern Forge" phone 1-800-288-3674
I hope that helps. All the best with your balloon heart,
Margit
p.s. I'd love to see a photo of your design - once it's done.
