Based on comments and questions, I did an extended video with a full build of the mosaic frame for the #1. I also show how to fill the frames with balloons.

See my other videos on how to print the templates. Each one shows a little different detail.

18th Birthday Balloon Mosaics - Green, White, & Chrome

2nd Birthday Mosaic - Pink, Gold, & White

16th Birthday Balloons - Gold, Black, & White

Red, White, Blue USA letters

I have templates available for 0, 1, 2, 6, 8. Just email me.

Trace and cut out template.

Use a box cutter or exacto knife to cut from the foam board.

I'm using these from Amazon since you can just pop the end off and have a brand new blade.

#1 took 4 foam boards and #0 took 6 foam boards.

I purchased the balloons from Amazon

Qualatex tropical assortment 11"

Qualatex tropical assortment 5"

I used a hand pump to inflated a bunch of balloons the night before and stored in a trash bag.

Balloon placement but not attached yet.

I started using a low temp glue gun to attach balloons and I like it so much better. The balloons do not move. It does take a bit of time to wait for each one to dry and you have to watch out for glue strings.

I purchased a bulk box of longer clear glue sticks and low temp glue gun on Amazon.

I added the same color balloons on balloon stands. I used a homemade balloon sizer made from a cardboard box. Lol. Worked perfectly!

Added some 5" balloons to the base.

Oh look how awesome it turned out!!! I love all the colors.

Tropical umbrellas in fruit cups. Grapes, watermelon, and pineapple.

So I was looking for something and came across an old daisy chain that was from when I was 8 years old. It's broken and falling apart but I remember how much I loved making them. Then I remembered that my Mom (huge crafter) had some seed beads she gave me back in February. "Let's see if I still can make one" and this is when I forget entirely what I was looking for and started making ~~one~~ two.

Anyone else make these as a kid?

Seed beads or glass beads. My Mom gave me two packages. I actually have a large assortment in my jewelry bin as well.

You can find them at any craft store or on Amazon if you search seed beads.

Supplies:

Needle

Thread or jewelry wire/string

Seed beads

Scissors

I haven't decided how I'm going to end the bracelet. Probably with jewelry clasps.

I used two beads as spacers between year flower (yellow), 4 blue beads for part of the petal, white bead for the center, and 2 blue beads for the other side of the petal.
