88 Pieces Mermaid Tail Balloon Garland Set Mermaid Tail Balloons Arch with 16ft Balloon Strip Tape for Under the Sea Mermaid Birthday Party Decoration (Blue)

Time consuming but turned out awesome! ***See video for the BEST way to attach the balloons so they won’t pop off the strip.*** When I read through reviews prior to buying I wasn’t a fan of some of the photos.. I’m very particular and felt some just looked like a tunnel of balloons with a random fin and didn’t like it. Here are tips to have it turn out right: 1 - sort balloons by size BEFORE you start blowing them up. Start with the large balloons. I made sure to space them out slightly on the handy strip provided. I’ll post a video on how I attached them in a way that keeps them from pulling out. 2. Once you finish the large balloons start blowing up “medium” sizes.. this is tricky as you will not have a definite medium and small balance of balloons and will need to reserve a decent few (mostly dark purple and green) that you’ll under inflate slightly... 3. Once you’ve assembled the main strip, it’s time to add the fins. Use a straw to inflate those and the star balloons. You may need to tape over the inflation hole to keep from leaking. Use a glue dot where the hole is on the stars and use that to stick them to the other balloons. I just used packing tape and left an extra bit of the plastic strip to tape them to it. It’s a process but SO worth it!

My little girl loved this so much. I followed the instructions that another reviewer posted on a video and it was super easy to assemble. Only the foil balloons gave me a hard time to inflate and to stay on the garland. I used a plastic straw to inflate them and the glue dots to keep it in place. The glue didn't work so well and they all ended up in the floor before the party. Overall, great product. Would buy again.

Let me just say that when I started this I was a little overwhelmed because there were no instructions but once I started it went together surprisingly easily and quickly. I read a lot of reviews and followed their recommendations like blow the largest ones up first and under inflate the ones at the end. There is also a video someone posted of how to put the balloons into the strip so they don’t pop out and I followed that recommendation and I did not have a single one pop out. I made mine smaller then it could be because that fit my needs better. I couldn’t be happier.

I loved this kit! The balloons come in a variety of sizes. Just blow them all up and begin assembling by size. It makes a tapered tail. I typically make balloon columns with a homemade stand constructed of a board and pvc pole. I made a tail with my stand. It looked great!

Took a while to assemble and tying off was trying at times. My daughter loved it though! Balloons held up very well in the archway.

This was perfect for my daughters mermaid themed birthday party. It took some trial and error to figure out how to put it together. (Doesn’t come with instructions) It also took about 1-1 1/2 hours with three of us putting it together.

I love it! The colors were pretty. I didn't use the clear/gold confetti balloons or the garland strip that comes with it and overall I think it still came out great!

Very difficult to assemble. Need to have some experience with balloon sculptures.
