Minnie Mouse BalloonsThese Minnie Mouse Balloons are quick, easy, and inexpensive to make and -most importantly- really cute! When planning a party, I try to come up with fabulous-yet-inexpensive decorations. That way, I can spend my money on other things -like party favors and delicious food- instead of overpriced paper goods that just end up in the garbage.

I think balloons are a great way to dress up any party, but ever since my neighborhood dollar store closed their doors, I haven’t had an inexpensive option for traditional balloon bouquets. To turn a frown upside down, I have put my mind to creating unique helium-free balloon décor, and I have enjoyed thinking of fun ways to create them! I hope these Minnie Mouse Balloons add the sparkle you are looking for, and I will be sure to share more of my balloon creations in the future!

Minnie Mouse Balloons

For this project, you will need:

Black balloons

Black card stock

Tape

Scissors

Pink or black polka dotted wired ribbon

Ribbon for hanging (if desired)

Start by cutting as many 4 inch circles out of black paper as you will need (making sure to have two for each balloon).

Minnie Mouse Boutique Bow 1

Cut a 17-inch piece of ribbon and lay it out flat, folding one end into the center.

Minnie Mouse Boutique Bow 2

Fold the other end over (this should be longer than the first fold) and bend the ribbon back to the center, then wrap around to form a bow. Lastly, glue the end in place.

Blow up your balloons and make a small flap on each black circle, then tape one on each side of a balloon to form ears! Tape your bow right in the center and tie a ribbon from the balloon stem to hang!

    Those are so clever! My kids are older now but I have several friends with little girls who I know would absolutely love these. I’m definitely sharing this with them.
