Colorful balloons are a recipe for a good mood. They put a smile on your face at every age, at every opportunity and simply always. Didn't have time for atmospheric party decorations? Quickly get lots of colorful balloons and inflate them with helium, you just don't need to do anything else. Have you forgotten a friend's birthday and now you're missing a present? No problem. Get some helium balloons and write something funny or just “Happy Birthday” on them with a permanent marker and you’re done! Balloons come in different colors and sizes. In addition, when inflated, a conventional balloon has an oval shape that is reminiscent of an egg. For this reason you can also make great Easter decorations with balloons.
Make Easter decorations with balloons: egg hunt
A party simply doesn't work without balloons. And it also applies to the egg hunt, which is a lot of fun for children. However, it can be difficult for small children to find the eggs in the garden or on the meadow and so they quickly lose interest in searching. With a fewBalloonscan make the game more exciting for the little ones.
Helium balloons are always more fun
For the egg huntWith balloons you will need a few balloons inflated with helium and a narrow decorative ribbon or string. Tie the eggs to the balloons with decorative ribbon and distribute them on the meadow. This means that small children can orientate themselves on the balloons floating in the air.
Table decoration for the last minute
Balloons are wonderfulin the Easter table decorationinsert. Choose the color balloons that are already on the table. This way you create an appealing overall picture. To ensure that the balloons float upwards and do not fall to the ground, it is recommended to inflate them with helium.

However, if you want to place the balloons at the table, you can simply inflate them with your mouth. However, you don't have to overdo it, but make sure that they get the typical egg shape. Don't inflate them all the same, leave some a little smaller and others a little bigger.
So that the egg balloons don't fly everywhere, you can arrange them nicely and fix them in the desired places using adhesive tape. Scatter some decorative grass in between and decorate with a few real eggs and/or flowers.
Sweet ideas for children
Balloons are perfect for crafting with children. Painting balloons is particularly easy and no special materials are required. You will need acrylic paints and a brush or stippling sponge.
Paint balloons
In no time at all, the monochrome balloons can be made colorful. Of course, you should do this when the balloons are already inflated. This gives you enough space to develop your creativity and imagination. There should not be complicated figures and shapes. Polka dots are a beautiful motif that can be easily depicted even by the little ones.
Decorate for Easter
For those who can't or don't want to paint, the balloons can be beautifully decorated using stencils. Find a nice template on the Internet, such as the traditional Easter motifs: bunnies, geese, etc. and print it. Then cut out the motif several times from tissue paper in any color and stick it onto the balloon surface.
Paper mache Easter eggs
We all know the paper mache technique from craft lessons at school. Small pieces of paper are layered with paste on a shape or object. When the paste dries, the primary figure is removed and you are left with a kind of hollow paper replica of it. If you want to achieve an oval shape, it works best with a balloon.
Using the paper mache principle, you can make great Easter eggs with balloons, which can later be used as decoration or given to the children as small gifts.
Here we present two simple DIY projects on how you can make creative Easter eggs out of paper mache with balloons. To do this, choose slightly smaller balloons or simply do not inflate the existing ones too much, but rather to a diameter of 20 cm or slightly smaller. If the balloons are too round, make them into the desired egg shape by squeezing them a little or perhaps sticking wide strips of adhesive on them.
You can fill the paper mache Easter eggs with candies and other small sweets or hang them up decoratively. In the second example, the paper eggs are designed as colorful piñatas.

Edible piñata for Easter
Similar to the paper mache technique, you can make imaginative edible Easter decorations yourself using balloons. You can use chocolate couverture or, alternatively, a protein cream like for meringue kisses, which you let dry in the oven at a very low temperature until they become hard and crispy.
Once you have prepared the cream or melted the couverture, simply take an inflated balloon and spread the cream or couverture on it. Leave an opening so you can fill the egg with candy later. Optionally, you can dip just a part of it into the sugar mixture several times and make your own edible egg shell. This can then be used wonderfully as an edible table decoration and you can beautifully arrange Easter eggs in it like in a conventional bowl.
