16th balloon party decorations – DIY large balloon mosaics

16th balloon party decorations – DIY large balloon mosaics

I’m showing more detail for printing based on questions people have been asking. DIY large 16 balloon mosaics.

NOTE: Why I changed the percentage to 501%:
I had so many people ask why they are getting a different size when they print. I didn’t understand until I tried on another computer. Normally I always put 500% but one of my computers doesn’t show the correct size unless I increase the percentage. Just showing that some printers might be different and please check the size above the preview window before printing.

Balloons purchased from Amazon

I have a few other video tutorials on YouTube. Each one shows a little different detail – printing, making them, or filling

https://youtu.be/ARs8ORfkKE4 – green & chrome 18
https://youtu.be/oCYjzqo37MM – red, white, & black 2020
https://youtu.be/gAvN3JK1-8Q – pink, white, & gold 2
https://youtu.be/s03jU-AKGwk – red, white, & blue USA letters
https://youtu.be/ZTf1SVVfkEU – zebra & hot pink 3

UPDATE: To use less paper – don’t click CUT MARKS or LABELS when printing. Some people lose track of how to lay the pages out but if you start horizontal across the top 4 pages and then start the next row below it.
I also started using a low temperature glue gun to attach balloons. Works so much better. – https://amzn.to/339C5F8
