#balloonbuddy

I won this adorable Balloon Buddy from Party City.  It is very small and honestly I was thinking “ok, this is not going to work”.  I was totally wrong and I love this little gadget.   I found the Balloon Buddy very easy to use.  I was surprised that air came out from around the nozzle, but it had no negative effects on filling the balloons.  It is equipped with suction cup feet so you can fill balloons easily and quickly.   I was able to do the whole column in about 10 minutes. (that’s a guess...I forgot to look at the clock.)  I think next time will be faster, especially if I figure out how to use the balloon tying tool that came in the balloon pack.  I think it will also take some practice to make the balloons the same size.  I did see there are tools available to measure the balloons as you inflate them.  I may have to pick one up.  I am looking forward to trying another column for my next party.  I will fill in spaces next time with smaller balloons or bows and ribbons.  I highly recommend the Balloon Buddy if you want to make something a little special for your next party. 

This column was for my daughter’s fish themed party.  I chose some nice watery blue balloons and happened to have a red and white balloon four our fishing bobber topper.  The balloons and column kit cost a total of 17$ and I will be able to reuse the column for future parties.  The column took 28 balloons, so I have plenty left in the package I purchased.
