Description

Confetti balloons rely on static for the confetti to stick to the walls of the balloon. Many factors can play a role in how easy it is to create/maintain that static so that the confetti will stick to the balloon. Humidity/moisture destroys static so it will take a little more effort to get the confetti to stick to the balloon under moist or humid conditions. METHOD for Tissue Confetti:1) Stretch the opening of your balloon around the opening of the funnel. 2) Examine the confetti and if necessary separate each one. It helps if you place into a bowl and separate this way. Touch the top and bottom of each piece of confetti individually, not folding the confetti, and drop the pieces into the balloon individually creating static electricity. 3) Inflate the balloon with your lungs to roughly about 5-6 inches for a 12-inch balloon then very slowly fill the rest with helium. This will limit the float time of the balloon, but the confetti will stick better. 4) Tie the balloon off and tie on your ribbon then gently roll the balloon letting the pieces stick to the sides of the balloon. 5) To increase static take a piece of fleece and put it in the dryer for 5 minutes then rub it around the balloon so that the static will transfer onto the balloon. Or you can rub the balloon on your head. Make sure to rotate the balloon. The parts of the balloon that rub against the balloon from your head will create more static than other parts. The more air that you put into the balloon the more confetti will stick to the sides of the balloon, but this will affect float times. A 12" balloon filled with pure helium will float for 16-18 hours. Adding air and confetti could cut your float time in half. For this reason, we recommend inflating right before your event. The amount of confetti that will stick to a balloon is never certain. It could be a lot or none. Over time the confetti falls from the sides so there will be less confetti stuck to the balloons as time goes on.
