More Christmas Balloon Decorations

The following are just a couple balloon designs I did for a Christmas Party.

There are some really fantastic designs for lighted street lamp balloon columns out there...this is my own personal take on the lighted street lamp (left).

Together, with designer Angela Walker, we came up with these festive Christmas "Balloon Candy Gift Boxes" (below).  She was wanting an overall "Dr. Seuss-ish" look for the event, so I suggested we also suspend some "curly-q topiary balls" through-out the room.  Turned out great!  Thanks to some wonderful volunteers helped with it all!

Nutcracker / Toy Soldier Christmas Balloon Column Decorations

NUTCRACKER (TOY SOLDIER) COLUMNSLarger-than-life and absolutely stunning! -
Everyone at the Christmas party went "nuts" for this set of 

Christmas Balloon Nutcrackers!

Impressive for their 11' height alone; even more amazing is knowing that 

there is a pipe going right thru each balloon head!

"How'd they do that?" 

(Designed by Brenda Hatch - with many thanks to Ken Stillman for teaching his balloon bead technique.)

Balloon Cactus & Wagon Wheels

	SOUTHWEST BALLOON CACTUS COLUMN & WAGON WHEELS This was a fun project for Homecoming at Glendale Community College - GO GAUCHOS!  We not only got to create some life-sized Saguaro Cacti and wagon wheels, but we were asked to stay and do balloon twisting and face painting for students, staff, & their families! Above: Brenda Hatch & Marta Hoburg building a 10' balloon saguaro cactus.  "Can we still fit this through the door?"

FREAKY FRANKIE - Halloween Balloon Column

Standing at over 8 feet tall, "Freaky Frankie" is a frighteningly fun addition to any Halloween decor!

Make it an extra Happy Halloween - invite "Frankie."

Bald Eagle Balloon Column Decoration

BALD EAGLE BALLOON COLUMN

Created for an Eagle Scout Court of Honor, this patriotic bald eagle balloon column stands just over 8 feet tall.  The eagle has a wingspan of approximately 5 feet.
(Note:  After seeing the Eagle Balloon Column, this young man's teacher requested his permission to use this sculpture at a school-wide assembly the following day.)

Top Hat Balloon Column Decoration

TOP HAT COLUMNS
These classy column add a sophisticated touch to any event.
We made two of these lighted Top Hat Balloon Columns, along with some classy balloon decorations suspended from the ceiling, for a big birthday party and dance.

(Note:  Suspending balloon decorations from the ceiling is a great way to add color and pizzazz to banquets & dinners, proms & dances, or any event
where you'd prefer your decorations to be out of the way of your guests.)(Column stands approximately 9 feet high and comes lighted or non-lighted.)

Jungle Safari Balloon Column Decoration

Kyle's Balloon Garden

KYLE'S BALLOON GARDEN

Spring for a Cure, Mesa, AZ

What a fun and amazing experience, helping to create a "balloon garden" that filled an entire room!  The garden had a life-sized tree - complete with tree swing & critters, a gazebo, a pond, a wishing well, a large brick wall, and plants, flowers, & critters galore!  

EVERYTHING made of BALLOONS!

The following are a few of the balloon elements created by Brenda Hatch,

The tree alone (without critters, swing, and fence) - over 2100 balloons.
