If you're crafting for a young child's birthday party, there's no need to go all-out with an art-installation-festooning that dwarfs the whole room. For a preschooler who still thinks play-doh snakes are a pretty cool idea, this easy DIY balloon arch at Birds Party. If you stick with the rainbow colors, this could make a great St. Patrick's Day party decoration, or mix up the colors to match your theme.

If you're not super confident in your arch's ability to support itself, I recommend this mounted DIY balloon arch from Spruce Crafts. If you don't have a pegboard like in the picture, you can always stick some temporary command hooks on the wall to keep your arch secure. Once you get the basics of this technique, you can make your arch any size, length, or shape you want.

If you want your balloons to stay up by themselves, by all means give this DIY helium balloon arch a shot. It does require a helium tank, so make sure you plan ahead for this one. I love how Elsie at A Beautiful Mess uses greenery to make this arch classy enough for any adult party, too. Never thought a balloon arch could be so artsy!
