My newest tutorial for Balloon Time is ready for you – and it’s a FUN one! 👻 Don’t be spooked by the “floating heads” description either. These characters are actually really cute + simple to create using printables, a marker, and a little craft paint for the vampire’s “hair”. 😜
Scroll to the bottom of this post for the DIY Materials & Instructions.

Very very creative! These Halloween balloons are looking so amazing.
I always wanted to do my parties at home, now I am doing this, I contract catering service and I command bullet, yes, I will indicate this post I loved the balloons.
What a fantastic, creative idea! Love it! Any Halloween party would be complete with these. Add some more Halloween decor, ambient lighting, creepy music and maybe a smoke machine, and you have a superb foundation for a Halloween-themed party. Thanks for sharing this project!
