Black Polka Dot Bow Foil Balloon

A bow balloon hands a party one clean graphic shape to build a whole table around, which a fistful of round latex never quite manages. This one is 38.6 inches of foil, also sold as mylar, in black with a polka dot print, so it reads as pattern from across the room and as sheen up close. Foil holds a moulded shape instead of stretching, so the loops and tails stay crisp. Inflate with helium and it floats above the cake; inflate with air and it sits flat on a wall as one oversized motif. It anchors black and white party decorations, a coquette birthday, or a bachelorette weekend, and a single balloon is genuinely enough. Browse the rest of our foil balloons.

How do you inflate a foil balloon?
Foil balloons have a self-sealing valve, so you insert the nozzle of a helium tank, a hand pump, or a drinking straw into the valve and fill slowly. Stop as soon as the wrinkles smooth out and the balloon feels firm but not taut, since overinflating stresses the heat-sealed seams.
