How to Make Ghost Balloons

Step 1: Inflate the balloons

Inflate 12″ white latex balloons with helium. I like to use the Balloon Time personal helium tanks. Note that these balloons will stay afloat for about 4 hours. You’ll want to make them as close to the start of your party or event as possible. As a longer lasting alternative to helium balloons, you can use air filled balloons on balloon sticks. These will last for days!

Step 2: Cut strips of party streamers

Cut 3 strands of crepe paper party streamers for each ghost balloon (my strands were each around 2 feet long).

Step 3: Tape streamers to balloons

Use a small piece of double-sided tape to affix each crepe paper strand to the bottom of the balloon, spacing them somewhat evenly around the base of the balloon.

Step 4: Draw on face

Freehand draw the ghost’s eyes and mouth using a permanent marker and color in. You can put a face on both sides of the balloon if you want.

  2. They do not breeze in the air as easily as you say. They topple over head first – almost to heavy even with a long string to let them breeze through the air – very disappointing!
    Any suggestions to make breeze in the air? I have used all the same materials that were listed!

    1. I’m sorry to hear the balloons didn’t work well for you, Diane. Did you use at least 12″ helium grade latex balloons and filled them completely? Smaller sized balloons like 9″ balloons or latex balloons that aren’t helium grade tend to sink fast when decorations are added. I have not had a problem with them being top heavy when I use 12″ balloons and lightweight crepe paper party streamers.
