You can use a small piece of scotch tape to keep the bill rolled, if necessary. Grab a deflated balloon in one hand and push the rolled dollar bill into the end. Shake the balloon a bit until it is holding the entire dollar bill. Once the bill is inside the balloon, blow a small bit of air into the balloon.

Though most air-filled balloon garland arches range from $10-$20 per linear foot, prices can vary as low as $5 per linear foot for simplified helium arches or as much as $90 per linear foot for some organic arch displays. Most balloon decor companies will have some sort of balloon arch pricing guide available.

A typical birthday balloon has enough upward force to lift 2 quarters off of the ground. To lift an adult of average weight, you would need about 5,000 balloons to have enough force.

If you purchase your balloons from another store, your local Party City can fill those with helium, too. Helium prices can vary depending on your location, so it's a good idea to call ahead.

Dollar General does not charge a specific fee to blow up balloons, as the service is not offered at their stores. If you need balloons for a party or other event, you will need to purchase them and fill them yourself.

Loosely roll the bills and put 3-4 bills inside the clear balloon. Using a funnel, add in the confetti to the balloon. Fill the balloon with helium, make sure to fill it to the max so it will still fly in the air with the money. The money can be heavy and weigh it down.

Begin by placing money into the small, clear, plastic treat bags. Secure each bag with a piece of tape on the back. Once all the money is bagged, place the bills face down and attach them together with a piece of tape. This will create the “money train” that will be attached to the balloon.

A common reason for a balloon not to float is when it is under inflated. Do not fill a balloon smaller than 9 inches with helium as they only float for a few hours. When the weight of the balloon exceeds the lift of the helium gas, the balloon will also not float.

Is 100 balloons enough for a balloon arch? For a standard 10-foot arch, 100 balloons typically provide adequate coverage. However, if you envision a denser or more detailed design, you'll need to increase that number. It's a good practice to always have some extra balloons on hand for any unexpected needs.

How many hours does it take to make a balloon arch? ›

Q: How long does it take to assemble a balloon arch? A: The majority of the time is dedicated to inflating the balloons, this is why we recommend the hand pump! Depending on the size of garland you choose, you should expect to spend 1-2 hours as a beginner. Most customers say that it was easier than expected!

The good news is, you can make balloon arches last overnight with the right preparation. That way, you can spend some time the day before your party assembling the balloon arch and worry about other details the day of.

A helium balloon can typically lift 14 grams, assuming you don't count the weight of the balloon or the string. Convert your weight into grams and then divide by 14 to determine how many balloons you would need.

American houses are often made of wood rather than brick. A typical three-bedroom wooden house shown in the cartoon would weigh 10 000–25 000 kg. Since each helium balloon creates about 10 g of lift you would need at least 10 000 000/10 balloons – ie about a million balloons to lift the house!

If you're trying to inflate 100, 9-inch standard latex balloons, you will need approximately between 25 to 27 cubic feet of helium.

pretty much any store that inflates balloons will do it for you for a fee.

Instead of filling the balloon with helium, you need to fill it with hot air. You can do this by using a hairdryer, holding the end of the balloon close to the hairdryer and letting the hot air fill it up. Once it is full of hot air, tie off the end of the balloon and watch it float!
