- 1). Cut wooden dowels with a fine tooth saw to the height you want the balloons to stand. If using wire instead, bend one end of the wire in a circle perpendicular to the length of wire, forming a 1-inch diameter loop at the end of the wire. Use wire cutters to shape the loop, then cut the wire to the length you want.
- 2). Inflate balloons with your mouth and tie the end in a knot as you normally would.
- 3). Place a balloon next to the end of a wooden dowel and hold the two together with one hand. Wrap string around the knot of the balloon and dowel 4 or 5 times, and then tie a knot to keep them together. For wire do the same thing, except first rest the bottom of the balloon on the 1-inch diameter circle you made, letting the knot of the balloon hang through the circle. Pull the knot next to the wire and tie it to the wire with string.
- 4). Place the wooden dowels or wired balloons together for the effect of a bunch of inflated balloons. If outside, push the ends into the ground to keep them standing on their own. If inside, slide the ends in a container filled with gravel or sand. You can cover the container if you wish to disguise it.
