DIY Balloon Arch

May 3, 2013 by Shellie Wilson

Balloon arches may seem outdated but they do have their place. Balloon arches are great for circus party themes or anything involving football, Disney, rainbows, baby showers and for under-5-year-olds party.

If you think you have the right place to pop a balloon arch then the above Youtube video is sure to guide you. Don’t want to DIY? Then you would be looking at around $175 for a single strand to $575 for multiple twists.

So it’s definitely worth having a go yourself. Try these other balloon or beach ball arch ideas.

Where do I think you shouldn’t have a balloon arch? – Weddings, office parties, product launches, and school formals!

Here is a video tutorial for making a balloon arch check out this new balloon arch tape to help put everything together so much easier. You can also buy Balloon arch kits here.

Designer Spotlight: Embrovia

Embrovia is a cross stitch designer with a lot of funny designs, plenty of ghosts and cats and other fun things for you to stitch. Let’s take a closer look. 

I love the story of this shop, which I hope is true and not made up by AI, that it’s run by a husband who made cross stitch designs for his wife and then opened a shop. We’re just going to believe it’s true, OK?

The biggest category on their storefont is called “funny,” and that makes sense because there are a lot of funny designs here. From a duck with a knife to a dog on a toilet, there are lots of options here to stitch for that person on your list with a slightly off sense of humor. 

When I saw this caution: floor is lava design I knew that was the one I needed to share with you all. It uses six colors and measures 130 by 135 stitches. On 14 count fabric that comes out to 9.3 by 9.6 inches, or 23.7 by 24.6 cm. It only uses full cross stitches. 

Another big section is the one devoted to cats. This includes some more realistic looking cats, cat ghosts and superheroes, cats in coffee cups (or with coffee cups) and cats at computers. Other animals also feature in their designs, including bunnies, dogs, birds, capybaras, butterflies and more. 

There’s a pretty collection of floral patterns, and a nice set of patterns designed to be stitched on dark canvas (mostly black or red). Rounding out the offerings are designs focused on gaming, mountains, abstract/modern designs, patterns and mandalas and designs for the nursery. 

Check out all their fun designs at Embrovia on Etsy.
