Instructions:

Fill the latex balloons with your Balloon Time Helium Tank and tie with fishing line. With the party outfit on, the birthday girl is ready to go!
Fill the gold curve balloon with air.
Put on your striped outfit.
Then, secure the balloon to the back of your head with the bobby pins.

Carry around presents or a cupcake for props, if desired, and you’re ready!
