I am looking for acrylic tubes to make balloon topiaries as centerpieces. Looking for 24 inch high and about 3/4 inch thickness or a clear plastic.

Where to Buy Acrylic Tubes for Balloon Topiaries


Hi Shay,

For balloon topiary centerpieces, many balloon professionals use a Lomey dish and a Lomey pedestal pillar in clear plastic.

You can get the Lomey pillars and dishes at floral supply shops or Amazon (click on the links above to get directly to the Amazon product pages).

BloonsUp readers also made some great suggestions in their comments below. At PlexiPoles and TapPlastics you'll find a wider variety of acrylic tubes than on Amazon.

PlexiPoles specializes in creating poles, bases and connectors for the balloon industry, so I'd suggest you check them out first.

They also feature some nice topiary tree examples on their Facebook Page.

And here's my page with more info (including a video tutorial) about how to make balloon topiaries as table centerpieces.

Believe it or not I used "8' clear tube guard" used to store and protect fluorescent bulbs. I found them at my local Home Depot Center.

The plastic is thin enough to be able to cut down to size with scissors and strong enough to hold the balloons. I made these for a birthday party and used them as centerpieces. They came out great.

Go to their web site at www.tapplastics.com. They have a great variety (clear and colored plastic rods, with diameters from 1/16" to 1") and can do special orders. I saw a giant martini glass 4' high they did.
