Hi All,

I've just been having a big sort out with my balloons, and was looking for an easy to see, and convenient to get at storage idea for balloons I use all the time.

This is what I found in Argos this morning.

http://www.argos.co.uk      Product code 875 4987     Price £6.99

Each pocket holds 2 bags of 260's, if jammed in, but this seems to be streaching the material a bit. A balloon saftey pinned on each pocket shows me easily what is in what pocket.
Kind regards
Kevin

Hi Snurb,

I can see you taking a trip to Argos soon :D I filled 3 of these this morning, and I think they will work ok. Everything seems remarkably organized now, something I'm not really used to !!

I'm sure though, that I am not the first person to use this idea, In fact Graham uses concertina type shoe holders on tables at his care and share days.
Kind regards
Kevin

i keep my balloons in large containers nearly air tight would leaving the balloons out effect shelf life ? because I've left balloons out before and i find that they start popping alot when inflating not over night but thats why i started using the containers. might just have been a dodgy batch but id like your thoughts on it.

Daft question - but what is the orangey yellow colour second from bottom second from the left called? I'm sure I got it in one of my mixed bags & I've run out and need more of it - but don't know the colour name!

Thanks

Hi Tat.

If you use Qualatex it is Goldenrod, a great colour for teddy bears, pluto, winnie the pooh etc. The Sempertex Goldenrod is not so nice, it is more mustard coloured. Sempertex Mango is better.
Kind regards

I actually have a clear version of these that I keep my balloons stored in.  I just hang them directly on the wall.  LOVE them!

I do wonder if yours are a bit larger than mine, though.  I can only get a bag and a bit in each one comfortably.
