To Make:

1. Inflate the cube balloons with helium and tie with ribbon. Mylar balloons will float for up to four days, so you can even do this the day or two before your party!
2. Use a glue dot to adhere the end of your Mylar streamer to the bottom of one side of the balloon, right next to the tail. Pull that streamer all the way around the balloon, over the top, and to the other side. Trim to the correct length and use another glue dot to adhere to the bottom of the balloon again.

3. Repeat these steps on the other sides of the balloon so there is a ribbon running down all four sides.
4. Finally, remove the protective backing on the adhesive on your bow and stick it right on top of the balloon. It is important, as stated in the supply list, that the bows be no larger than about 3 1/2 inches for the balloon to float properly. This is the size of a standard holiday bow!

3. Scrunch up the bottom (short) side of the cellophane to make it look like the end of a candy wrapper. While holding it scrunched, tape it to the side of the peppermint balloon with a small piece of clear shipping tape. Repeat with the other side.
4. Fluff the cellophane as needed and they're ready to go!
