I loved my relaxing day after brunch with my boys!
Perfect Mother's Day!
I colored my oldest son's hair the night before. It was so bright and almost matched my pants.
My original plan:
I found this garland kit with double stuffed balloons. Oh so pretty!!!
The kit comes with a bright pink inside a white pearl balloon that gives the pink a shimmery look. It also comes with a lighter pink and purple balloons inside a silver balloon that gives it a metallic shimmery look.
I didn't realize that I should inflate and only tie the inside purple balloon and then tighten the silver balloon and then tie it. I did it all at once and didn't like the look ONLY because I didn't inflate the balloons all the way. It would be perfect it I inflated them more.
I absolutely love them!
I decided last minute that I wanted the pinks and purples brighter and separated the balloons into singles.

I used the silver balloons from the garland kit and I used my favorite 7" Qualatex Chrome Balloons to make a base for the mylar M's balloons and heart.
I filled the silver 12" balloons with 18 pumps of air with a hand pump and 7" chrome balloons with 5 pumps of air.
Tied two sets of two together. Then twisted to make 4 balloons. Then just layered and attached them together with a silver long balloon.
I didn't have enough silver so I used a few of the pink and purple 12" balloons leftover from the garland kit.
I like to inflate the day before I assemble but store in trash bags so they don't become dull looking.
So cute!!!
I wasn't sure if it would look good but I decided to add fake flowers I purchased from Dollar Tree.
I used eight bunches and just pulled the tops from the stems.
Hot glued the flowers to the balloons. Most were just one petal.
I ordered 2 - 40" silver mylar M balloons from Amazon.
I was afraid the bottom of the heart would pop the balloons so I just put an extra piece of foam board flat. I don't like the look but didn't have a plan to hide it.
I applied Hi-Shine after I assembled to keep the balloons looking amazing. You just spent all this time creating a beautiful design and you want it to last. This stuff is awesome!
It's a pump spray and really controlled. It will look milky white beads but this goes away and blends nicely.
The Hi-Shine doesn't dry. The balloons will be greasy but you don't really touch them.
They just look so super shiny!
I HIGHLY recommend using it if you have the balloons outside.
Without it the balloons will become super dull fast!
