How to use these free printables
Printing them out
If you are looking for a great printer to use – I love my HP! I wrote up a whole post why The reasons I love the printer. This post also shows how you can make sure you are getting the best prints by adjusting your settings!
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A PRINTER: You can also upload the files to staples or office max and have them print them! Sometimes the local library has a printer for public use!
Cutting out the printables:
I love Fiskars! Nice sharp scissors or paper cutters will get you the best-looking edges!
Attaching the printable:
If you want to attach the printable directly on, I personally love glue dots! You can also just attach the leaves with a little tape.
I fold the leaves down at the bottom to sit on the balloon a little better.
Tips for Best Results
- Use cardstock so the leaf and stem hold their shape
- Double-stick tape or glue dots work best on balloons
- Try different balloon sizes for variety
- Mix in green balloons for a fun twist!
