The Beautiful World of Clear Balloons
Training by Pink Tree Balloon Training | Tutor: Paula Ardron-Gemmell
The world of clear balloons is ever-expanding, and knowing which balloon to use – and when – can be confusing, even for experienced balloon artists.
We often hear comments like:

“They don’t last.”“You can’t add vinyl.”“They’re too fiddly.”

This course has been designed to challenge those myths and give you a clear, practical understanding of how different clear bubble-style balloons should be used in professional décor.
All you need to know about clear bubble-type balloons – but were afraid to ask.
This is a multi-manufacturer course, covering:

Takara Kosan Aqua Balloons

Grabo Transparent Globes

Takarakosan Deco Bubble / T-Balloon

Anagram Clearz

Bobos

Clear balloons play a major role in modern, professional balloon décor. This training shows you:

How to use each type correctly

Which balloons are best suited to different décor styles

When to use each balloon to achieve maximum impact

The course explores the similarities and differences between all clear balloon types and includes hands-on experience to help you use them effectively and with confidence.
You’ll also cover:

What can be added inside clear balloons for maximum wow-factor

Float times, lift abilities, and realistic costings

Aqua flower bouquets and baby clothing gifts

Bead aquas

Confetti stick techniques

Sealing methods to improve durability and finish

By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident working with all major clear balloons on the market – from Aqua Balloons to Grabo Globes – and gain a clear understanding of what Bobo balloons are, and why they are not considered the professional’s preferred choice.
This is an intermediate-level course, suitable for balloon artists who already have experience with basic inflation and balloon techniques and want to get the very most from clear balloons.
