1. Helium inflate a balloon of your choice, tie to a ribbon, and attach to a balloon weight.
Note: We recommend using one of Anagram’s OrbzTM, Jumbos, or a large shape for balloon upgrade designs.
2. Create two 3-inch, five balloon clusters by following the steps below:
A. Air inflate two 5-inch latex balloons to 3-inches (three pumps) and tie the necks together to make a duplet. Then, Make a second duplet.
B. Next, inflate one 5-inch balloon to 3-inches, and tie it into one of your duplets making a three-balloon cluster. Then, twist the duplet and the three-balloon cluster together to make a five-balloon cluster.
C. Repeat the above steps to make a second five-balloon cluster.
3. Create two 1-inch duplets for the center of your flowers by following the steps below:
A. Air inflate two 5-inch latex balloons to 1-inches (one pump) and tie the necks together to make a duplet.
B. Repeat the above step again to create a second 1-inch duplet.
4. Wrap one 1-inch duplet into the center of your flowers. This should force the five “petals” in your flower to lay flat.

A. Create one 2-inch quad by inflating all four balloons in the cluster with two pumps.
B. Create one 4-inch quad by inflating all four balloons in the cluster with four pumps.
