How to do your own balloons part 4 (bigger bouquets)

Classic fives are bunches of five balloons that are arranged in a beautiful order and when they are done correctly, they look absolutely stunning whether they are on a floor, a table or even a dance floor!

You will need
Balloons
Helium
Flight extender (optional)
Curling ribbon
Weight

Step 1
If you are using the flight extender, apply this first. Then inflate all five of your balloons and attach the ribbon. Decide which two balloons you want at the bottom of your bouquet.

Step 2
Take your bottom two balloons and hold them in one hand by the necks so that they are even. Firmly grab the ribbon about halfway down with your other hand and then let go of the necks.

Step 3
Repeat step two with the next two balloons whilst still holding the first two, then place the second two balloons above the first two in the gaps. So there should be two balloons going one way and two going the other way. Just make sure you have hold of all four ribbons before you let go! They should be touching, but not bunched together.

Step 4
Whilst still holding your four balloons in one hand, take the last balloon in your other hand and position it in the middle of the second two. Grab the ribbon half way down with the other hand and let the neck go with the hand you were holding it with, make sure it is touching the top of the other two but not bunched together.

Step 5
Keep firmly hold of all of the ribbons and tie them around or attach them to the weight.
Take a piece of the ribbon that is left at the end of the length after you have tied and gently run a closed pair of scissors along the length whilst keeping the ribbon and the scissors in contact with your thumb. Repeat with the rest of the remaining free ribbon.
