DIY WATERCOLOUR FLOWER BALLOONS
For as long as I can remember, balloons have been making their way into weddings but long gone are the days where you see a bunch sitting in the middle of a table! (yuk). Today we wanted to share with you a tutorial on how to make your regular white balloons oh so much prettier!
YOU WILL NEED:
White balloons (blown up with helium) // Acrylic paint // Paint brush // Faux flowers // All purpose glue //
STEP 1:
Turn your balloons upside down and using your acrylic paint start to brush paint up the balloon making sure to stop around half way. I found that the paler the colour of acrylic the better so mix any colours with white if you need to!
STEP 2:
Repeat again using a different colour, stopping around the same place.
STEP 3:
Finally, repeat one more time with your last colour until the entire bottom half of the balloon is covered in pretty pastel paint!
STEP 4:
Allow to dry then take your glue and start to adhere your flowers to the base of the balloon or the top of the string. I wanted to add way more flowers in than this but unfortunately they weigh the balloons down so choose your blooms wisely!
STEP 5:
Allow the glue to fully dry and voila! Job done.
I love the idea of giving your bridesmaids a balloon each for photos or maybe having a big bunch for yourself! You could even make a big watercolour, flower filled backdrop out of these if you wanted to! The possibilities are endless! xx

So pretty. Love this idea for balloons!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing 🙂
