How can I reuse my foil balloons?
If you have used your foil balloon on several occasions and it cannot no longer be successfully re-inflated there are a number of ways you can use the balloon for different purposes.
Here are just a few:
- You can use the balloon as a themed gift wrap or alternatively, turn the balloon inside out and you have a beautiful silver gift wrapping.
- Create handmade ribbons and bows from strips of the balloon.
- Cut the balloon into strips and thread them onto a string and use them in your vegetable or flower garden to keep birds from eating your seeds.
- Fill the balloon with sand, fasten the opening with tape and use as weights for new foil balloons or to weigh down small tents or outside decorations.
- Use the balloons cut into strips and shapes for craft projects, with their colourful shine and lightweight nature they can add a different dimension to any creative activity.
- Create a foil emergency blanket.
