The Magical Mermaid

As many parents know, mermaid parties are a big deal right now. This cute sparkling balloon will really help you bring your amazing theme to life. Now all you need is a colorful costume and the Little Mermaid soundtrack and you're ready to party!

How to make your balloon

You need:

• A simple foil balloon in the color of your choice

• This handy glue stick

• Balloon glitter - and yes, we really mean “balloon glitter”. Regular glitter is too heavy for this job and will prevent your balloon from staying in the air.

How it works:

1. Place a few sheets of newspaper over a large table. There will be a lot of glitter flying around so cleaning up will be a lot faster!

2. Lay your balloon flat on the table. We recommend decorating the balloon before inflating it - it's just easier that way!

3. If you are using one of our specially made templates, print it out and cut out the shapes. Remember, you want to keep the large piece of paper and remove the cut out parts!

4. Press your mermaid stencil over the balloon and spread the glue over the exposed area of ​​the balloon. Make sure no glue sneaks under your stencil or you will end up with a wobbly mermaid!

5. Remove the template and sprinkle your balloon glitter over the glue.

6. Let it dry and carefully pick up your balloon so that excess glitter falls on the table.

7. it’s time to inflate! If your balloon needs helium, you can find it here.

This guide works for all of the balloon designs we looked at here. If you're not using a template, just peel the glue straight on!

The Mystical Unicorn

Like mermaids, unicorns are a popular choice when it comes to party themes for kids. This colorful creature works best in a white foil balloon. But you can also use pinkish if you feel like it!

 

As you can see, it is quite a detailed design. So, with this unicorn template, you can make everything look perfect. If someone asks you can just pretend you drew it yourself!

The ‘Yay’ For Your Special Day

Do you have a special message that you would like to write on your balloon? Of course, there are a lot of different things to say, but we've kept it pretty simple here and gone with "yay". We think it works for most parties!

Of course, when it comes to words, you can write them freehand with a glue stick. However, if you're not a fan of your handwriting, here's a little template you can use.

The Valentine’s Balloon
