EFAY Bobo Balloons , 25 pack Pre Stretched 24 inch Helium / Air Large Clear Balloons for Stuffing, Beautiful DIY Bubble Balloon Decor for Wedding, Birthday ,Graduation Party Decoration

I absolutely recommend this product! The possibilities are endless as far as what you can do with them! And that is because they are super durable (I mean these things will stay blown up for months). I did not have to do anything special to blow them up - I just put air in them and made sure I tied them up really good! I would recommend not using helium if you are adding things inside the balloon because then the balloons will not stay up due to the weight of the items inside (duh!).

I used these balloons as bubbles for a Finding Nemo themed movie night. They were simple to inflate with my electric balloon blower. The quality was great. The material is more like a beach ball than a balloon. As long as you tie them tightly, they stay inflated for a long time. My mind is blown by how many were included for such a low price. They filled the whole room!

I liked how i didnt have to stretch it, came out pretty!

But inflated one to test it out and it seems to be exactly what I needed.

These balloons require a lot of "conditioning" before they perform. Kind of like my body before doing a full-on CrossFit workout. You don't just jump in cold and expend things to stretch appropriately. Somebody could get hurt. Each balloon took about 30 minutes (with some resting) to stretch sufficiently. You don't wanna wait til the last minute for this operation. Your hands will ache from stretching it. Plan ahead. Like days ahead. Some Tips: Stretch as much as you can, stretch some more, then inflate slightly; Flatten the little neck shut and the air will stay put for a while (there's no pressure against it since it's just a little air in there. (I used an electric balloon pump for mine. So worth it!) Then come back and let it out, reinflate a little more, let it out, reinflate a little more... You can either proceed with caution from here or wait some more. As for the inside latex balloons, I kind of rolled them vertically and shimmied them into the little neck using a smooth end of a small paint brush to get the round part on up in there. Also, if you are putting in tinsel-like filler, I recommend doing that first, then shaking it down to the bottom of the balloon. Cause EVERY time you put the opening over the valve to inflate, any air you have in there will shoot out little confetti streamers along with it and you are back to square ONE! lolSo you get the filler in and you get one balloon stuffed in there with only the neck protruding. You kind of have to roll the bobo neck down like a turtleneck so you can grasp the little balloon. The air will go out again. Then you inflate the inner balloon slowly. Don't go too big, depending on how many you're putting inside. I did 3 and learned (after popping 3 bobos not to make them too large. Tie off that balloon and it will seal off the opening of the bobo. Roll up your second balloon and insert it, forcing the inflated balloon out of the way. It's like shoving babies back up the canal with forced air hitting you in the face. It will deflate again. Use the paintbrush tip to finagle the second balloon inside and repeat the process, each time, pausing to inflate the bobo to make room for the new growth. Tie off the second balloon when it's inflated to your satisfaction. Say a prayer. Repeat for the third balloon. As you inflate the bobo each time, watch carefully that you are not over-inflating, and be sure to proceed in small increments. Or IT WILL POP! <see video> I wasn't paying attention to the size of it and let's just say I'll be finding silver confetti into the New Year.In all, I have about 9 left of the 15 and I successfully produced only these two arrangements. There was shrinkage, significant shrinkage. Neither of them stayed inflated for the duration of the events, so it was sort of disappointing after all of the work.All in all, they are very fun-looking and make a nice presentation. I might try a different brand next time, though.
