Balloon clusters2/1/2024 You now need to determine how big you want the overall balloon wall to be when completed, and therefore what size the balloons need to be inflated to. I now know exactly how many balloons I will be using and how many balloons I need in each colour. Now it is easier to break this wall down into its individual columns, so that we can start to build the wall. This wall is made up of 6 columns, in each column there are 10 clusters of balloons, therefore we will use in total 240 balloons.Ĥ (number of balloons per cluster) x 10 (number of balloons in the column = 40 x 6 (number of column) = 240 I have used a simple image of a fish to illustrate how to make this wall. I have used this method because I personally feel that it gives a really Professional ‘finished’ look. Example of how to create a design using the Alternate-Size Garland Pack method The 2-balloon duplet ‘Square Pack’ method is a little more difficult, with each duplet you pack only one of the balloons is for the front and the other is for the back, I find it easier to make the back balloons all one colour as you will not see any of these balloons from the front and it makes a very clean back to the wall. In this instance the central balloon has a chequeredĢ balloons facing, the other 2 balloons should repeatĮxactly the same as the front, see example below Repeat of whatever colour the central balloon is, The Traditional and Alternate Size Garland Pack is easy with both these methods you can see either 2 balloons or 3 balloons facing the front in each of the columns.ģ balloons facing, the fourth balloon should be a Once you have decided which wall type you are working with you also need to consider that the graph paper is only showing you the front of the wall, so what is happening behind? So the first job is to work with each paper, and plot your design to see which one show’s off your design the best. Working with ‘Balloon Wall’ graph paper, makes designing a balloon wall pretty simple Bruce Walden created the graph paper that I have used for many years, without it, I think I would find it very difficult to know which type of wall to work with as each one has strength’s and weakness for certain patterns and lines. This style of packing gives us a flat base, flat sides and also a flat surface, which I think gives a very professional appearance. A greater difference in size will also give a different texture and look you will need to experiment to determine your own preference. I prefer to use a 1″ / 2.5cm difference when working with smaller balloon sizes and a 2″ /5cm difference when working with bigger balloons, a greater difference in size means that the columns will pack together a little more tightly. This method of packing uses 2 different sizes of balloons. This method gives us a wall with flat sides, flat surface but the base and top are uneven.Īlternate Size Garland Pack for ‘Square Garlands’ This method uses one size of balloon and is packed working with duplets (2 balloons) rather than with clusters (4 balloons). This type of wall gives us a flat base and top, but the sides and surface are bumpy. This method uses one size of balloon which is packed in the same way you would pack a 4-balloon ‘garland’ or ‘column’. Alternate-Size Garland Pack for “Square” GarlandsĮach different style of wall has a different finished appearance some are easier than others to design a pattern or logo within the wall.There are a number of different techniques to create balloon walls the most commonly used are: Personally, I think that there is nothing quite like seeing a wonderful balloon wall that has a design or logo built within it! I have seen many great examples designed by very talented balloon artists around the world and the one thing that always stands out is the precision of the balloons, how all the balloons are inflated to the exact same size! Working with Conwin’s precision equipment, such as the Precision Air Inflator we can easily create a professional wall, and with a little extra know-how, we can add in a design or company logo.
