DIY HULA HOOP BALLOON WREATH
If you follow us on Instagram you’ve probably seen a little sneak peek of a DIY I’ve been working on. I had so much fun making these hula hoop balloon wreaths and I can’t believe how easy they were to make using just a couple of items. I’m usually surprised by how long DIY’s take to make but on this occasion I was surprised by how quick the whole process was. The spray paint took about an hour to dry, I also added a second coat for good measure, then attaching the balloons to all three probably took another hour or so. I actually did it whilst I waited for our dinner to cook, that’s how simple they are.
For this project I used colours similar to those I’ll be using at my own wedding because I’m basically obsessed with this years Pantone colour, ‘Living Coral’. I didn’t plan on using these for my wedding but when they were all finished and I was taking the final photos for this post, I couldn’t help but think about how awesome they’d look with my theme. So heads up, this might not be the last time you see this DIY.
YOU WILL NEED
- Balloons
- Hula Hoops
- Spray Paint
STEP 1:
Spray paint your hoop in the colour of your choice. Wait for it to dry and add a second coat if necessary.
STEP 2:
Blow up your balloons, varying the amount of air in each one, so that the balloons are all in different sizes. A handy tip for when it comes to tying the balloons – tie two together as this will make it easier to attach them to the hoops.
STEP 3:
Tie the balloons to the hoop using either the ends of the balloons or string. Keep doing this until you’re happy with the design. If you want to add a little something extra, dot some real or fake flowers among the balloons to create a cute floral effect. Simply hang the hoop with string and voila you’ve created your very own balloon wreath.
How cute would a few of these look to create a bold backdrop? I also think these would look great for a birthday party. I might even make a couple more for my friends baby shower in a couple of weeks and the good news is I know it will only take me a couple of hours. How’s that for a simple weekend project.
