Buy two to create pillars or arches. They are adjustable in height and perfect for balloon displays. Just cut out the cord and use the post and the base. They are amazing and affordable.

These hooks are perfect for wall or doorway installations. Simply put down painters tape or a barrier and then add the hook. These hooks will damage surfaces if you put it on directly.

These are easily my most used supply. They can attach to any ledges, lips, poles, doorways, arches and more. Just add a rubber band or 260 loop and you are all set. They blend in, are affordable and come in multiple sizes.

This duct tape is good in a range or outdoor and indoor temperatures. It is easy to work with and to remove. But holds when it needs to. I use it to hold things steady, reinforce or fix. It's a must have!

These arches come in 3 sizes. I cover them with fabric and attach balloons. They are a great addition to your event decor rental inventory. They are easy to assemble, transport and install.

These are the fabric covers I use in my balloon displays. They can be left blank or I can add removable vinyl for personalized messages. I've used lavender. My favorite neutral is beige. Works with white and cream balloons.

I regularly get last minute requests and I need to go to a store for a quick order. I really like 40" foil balloons in gold and silver for birthday and graduation displays. Go big or go home! 40" is always better!

I use bendable pvc pipe to create arches. It easily clips to my lamp stand bases & this pipe lets me adjust arch height.

Yep! It's basic but I love it and I own 4 of them. Filling 2 balloons at once is the way to go. I use it for all sizes & types.

This is a great size bag for transporting pre-filled balloons to your install. And it’s not so big where it doesn’t fit in a standard vehicle. And then I use them as drop cloths when I spray my mega shine. Dual purpose!

The best balloon shine around. It smells good, requires no wiping or blending. Spray & go! Adds shine & repels dust instead & extends longevity and reduces oxidation outside. Super slippery on hard surfaces so protect the flooring.
