Refresh and Reuse Your Balloons!

Now that Valentine’s Day has come and gone, we have these wonderful balloons in our homes and the homes of our loved ones. We are going be able to enjoy our balloon bouquets fully for at least 21 days, way longer than flowers! However as time passes and the temperature changes the balloons can seem to crinkle slightly and lose their splendor. While they are still fun and a reminder of those that love us, we know that the balloons looked best when they were filled tight with air.

Don’t worry! You can refresh your balloons in three easy steps!

1. Find a regular straw (non-flexible works best).
2. Carefully insert the straw into the air hole at the base of your balloon (where the string is attached) leaving just enough of the straw out to the balloon to blow through.
3.Once you have blown up the balloon as much as you desired, remove the straw and admire your fresh looking, still floating bouquet

Once you are finished admiring your balloons don’t be tempted to throw them away!! Again, insert the straw into the balloon (as directed above) and lightly press on the balloon to allow excess air to escape. Once your balloon is flat you may lightly fold it for storage. The next time you would like to celebrate, pull out the balloons and have them filled with helium for an additional 21 days of enjoyment! Once again another great way to enjoy BalloonsByMail.com!
