DIY Fringe Balloons

Jessie Webster of Sweet Thing is sharing a fun tutorial for DIY Fringe Balloons. This balloon DIY is super easy and adds a festive touch to any event. They are the perfect added element for an engagement photo shoot, a birthday party, bridal shower, baby shower, or cake smash!

Materials:

• 30 to 36 inch round balloons (Get the balloons blown up at your local party store, but just make sure you can fit them in your car!)
• Tissue paper and/or fabric in 3 to 4 different colors. (The fabric should be light weight, so it doesn’t weigh the balloons down.)
• Scissors
• Lace Ribbon
• Optional: Rosette for the top.

Directions:

1. Start by cutting your lace ribbon in a strip about 5 to 6 inches long. This will take the place of the ribbon holding the balloon.
2. Cut the fabric into rectangles approximately 1 x 1.5 inches. If you’re using tissue paper, there is no need to cut. Just fold the sheets in half lengthwise.
3. Cut strips in the fabric/tissue paper leaving approximately 1.5 inches on the top uncut.
4. Tie a piece of lace or ribbon around the center of the fringe.
5. Fold the fabric/tissue paper in half, so the ribbon is on the left side. Roll it up and then wrap the lace around the top and tie it in a knot. Make sure to leave a few inches of ribbon free to attach the balloon.
6. Tie your pieces of fringe onto the lace handle starting at the top. It looks best to vary the color of the fringe.
7. Optional: Place a rosette at the top directly under the balloon.

There you have it – these DIY Fringe Balloons are a simple, fun and festive DIY that you can incorporate into parties or photo shoots! We love to see your DIY projects.
