Parachute Cargo Balloon Centerpieces

by CJ

We are planning a military-style event and want to use balloons to make parachuted cargo centerpieces. The weight will be "cargo" boxes with our logo on them. Tied to that box will be some sort of net or string or wire. Balloons will 'lift' the fabric to make it look like a parachute dropping down on the table.

That is where our problem comes in. We don't want to weigh down the balloons too much and need some help with whether tulle or something draped around a bunch of balloons will work. Please give us your expert thoughts! Thank you!
