Eye spy with my little eye… eyeball balloons for Halloween! These balloons are the perfect decoration for tying in front of your house to greet trick-or-treaters or for just about any Halloween party. In fact, why not throw an eye-scream social in their honor? With eyeballs and ice cream, how could you go wrong?
Here’s a quick tutorial on how to make your own eyeball balloons.
Supplies:
- Balloon Time Helium Tank
- Clear shipping tape
- Black and neon paint markers
- Fishing line or ribbon
- 17” Round white balloons (standard 11” latex balloons work too)
Instructions:
- Inflate the balloons with helium and tie, temporarily, with ribbon or fishing line.
- I chose to turn my balloons on their side to paint the eyeballs because it gave them a true round look. Starting at the exact opposite side of the balloon’s tail, draw a black circle and fill it in with your black paint marker. Let dry.
- Now take a neon (or other color) marker and draw a larger circle around the black one and fill in with your neon color.
- To make the veins of the eyes, draw wavy lines all along the sides of the balloon. Let dry.
- Finally, use a piece of clear tape to attach the string to the “new” bottom of the balloon, so your eyeball is staring right at everyone.
Happy trick-or-treating!
