Review on Retro Olive Green Balloon Arch Kit - Sage Green, Ivory White & Metallic Chrome Gold Balloons for Baby Shower, Bridal Shower, Birthday Party, Wedding, Graduation - DIY Balloon Garland Kit by Bre Marie

I rarely give reviews, but this one definitely deserves it. I really like the colors and the quality of the balloons. But if I knew it would take that long, I would change my mind. We used an electric pump to blow it up, which is absolutely necessary. I wouldn't even try to do it with my mouth. The twin balloons were tricky and in the end I didn't understand their purpose as they don't actually show up other than slightly changing the tint of the balloon color. It will take a long time to blast them all and even tie them with a pump. Building it was a whole different frustration for me, but maybe because I'm not particularly smart and honestly I didn't have the time in my schedule that it would take to complete it. Overall I would say it took about 6 hours between airing/binding and making the bow. Some reviews said it took a lot less time and I'm honestly a little taken aback by the idea, but for an amateur this was a significant project. Now I understand why pre-made ones are so expensive! So if you have the time and are willing to put in the effort and energy, or maybe you're really smart, I say go for it. In addition, you will need additional accessories such as ropes and fingernails or another way to hang it securely. I've tried command strips/hooks as others have suggested and they didn't last. Finally I used the rope, stretched it and attached it that way. This really is a bargain price and quality kit for your bottom line. Just be prepared to spend a lot of time on it. Also, only a few showed up and that was a complete set. I bought two but couldn't devote another 6 hours to this project!
