Here's an idea I came up with last night (for my son's guitar themed birthday party) that is soooooo simple and looks amazing, plus you'll be able to plan ahead and do an even better job than I did! And by the way, since Shavuot is in just four days, replace the notes with hebrew letters and you've got a great decoration to celebrate receiving the Torah!
Presenting floating musical notes that look like they're being carried away by balloons, you know like music floating up to the heavens! Best of all this music themed party decor idea could be used for just about any festive occassion, so be sure to keep it in mind! And as far as the faux element is concerned, well faux seems to be a hot topic of late in the blogging world with faux driftwood and faux crystals and faux succulents and faux shiplap etc. etc. So I now present to you faux helium balloons! This idea is something my daughter actually taught me, as it is a popular one around here! Keep reading for the simple secret and you'll just have to laugh, promise!
You'll Need:
- balloons
- string, mine is light weight cotton yarn
- clear tape, I used wide packing tape
- cardboard
- a black permanent marker
How To;
- Draw notes on cardboard and color with black marker. Cut out notes.
- Blow up balloons and tie strings to ends.
- Make a loop of tape and affix to top of balloon. Stand on a chair and stick balloon to ceiling. Disclaimer: Tape can damage painted surfaces, so be careful. My ceiling was fine thougn.
- Cut string to desired length and tie note onto end of string.
- Repeat steps over and over as the more balloons the more dramatic the effect.
- Enjoy!
