Balloon Weights & Curling Ribbon

Balloon Weights and Curling Ribbons That Hold the Fun Together

At Spotlight, we have a huge range of balloon weights and curling ribbons in a rainbow of colours and playful designs to match your decorations. Best of all, we have bargains galore on all the party decorations and party supplies you need. That's why we're Australia's favourite party shop.

So, unleash your inner decorator and explore our incredible selection. Let us help you create a celebration that truly stands out.

Why Skipping Balloon Weights Can Ruin Your Decor

From garlands to stunning centrepieces, balloon weights are a must-have for balloon arrangements. Essentially, they are small, decorative anchors designed to keep your helium balloon displays grounded. Without them, your carefully crafted bouquets and centrepieces risk floating off, crashing into ceilings, or generally causing chaos.

While you can tie balloons to furniture or glue them to things, they're unreliable and can damage your balloons or belongings. A small but sturdy weight allows you to design structured balloon bouquets and floor arrangements without worrying about balloons drifting or tangling. That's why it's the one thing you should never go without when crafting DIY balloon decors.

Find Fun and Functional Balloon Weights for Any Event

At Spotlight, we have a fantastic selection of balloon weights for every celebration and party theme. Whether you're planning a baby shower, a New Year's Eve bash, or a themed birthday party, we have something for you. Here are a few of the types we offer:

• Foil Balloon Weights: These metallic weights come in classic gold, silver and pastel shades, adding a touch of elegance to your party setup.
• Plush Balloon Weights: Perfect for kids' parties, our adorable animal-shaped plush weights double as fun keepsakes.
• Themed Balloon Weights: From stars to palm trees, these add a playful touch to your decor while keeping your balloons in place.

How Heavy Does a Balloon Weight Need to Be?

The weight you need depends on the size and number of balloons in your arrangement.

A standard 11-inch latex balloon typically needs around 7-10 grams of weight to stay grounded. However, larger balloons, such as jumbo foil balloons or balloon bouquets, will require significantly heavier weights. For these, you might need weights ranging from 100 grams to over 200 grams, or you may need to use multiple weights.

If you're unsure, our team at Spotlight can also help you choose the right balloon weight for your setup.

Making Balloon Weights a Stylish Part of Your Decor

Balloon weights don't just have to be practical. They can also be a stylish part of your decorations. Here are a few ideas:

• Coordinate Colours: Choose weights that match or complement your balloon colours and party theme. For example, use gold foil weights with gold and white latex balloons or plush weights with pastel confetti balloons.
• Use Them as Centrepieces: Anchor balloons of varying heights to the weight with balloon sticks to create a dynamic display.
• Create Balloon Bouquets: Instead of simply tying your balloon bouquets to a chair or railing, use a decorative balloon weight as the base. This adds stability and allows you to place the bouquet anywhere you like.

Most importantly, don't be afraid to mix and match. Coordinate balloon weights with other party decorations like streamers, bunting, and even toppers on cakes. You can even use them to keep helium-filled inflatables or number balloons in place.

Tie It All Together with Curling Ribbons

No balloon decoration is complete without curling ribbons. You can use them to create dramatic balloon bouquets, add flair to table settings, or even string them through centrepieces for a cohesive party look.

At Spotlight, we have curling ribbons in various shades, including rose gold, iridescent, hot pink, light blue, light pink, royal blue, teal and more. So, no matter your colour scheme or theme, you'll find the perfect curling ribbon to complement your balloons and decorations.
