I use a lot of different balloons. How do you store your balloons. At the minute, mine are in different jars, i'm want to use something else but not sure what. Thank you for any imput.
I bought see through plastic boxes from Ikea, they are great. the problem is for me is too many open bags of mixed balloons. 8-)
I bought a couple of Stanley organizers from B&Q - £6 each, they are similar to the 'toolbox' that Graham has mentioned he uses.
I use 1 for 260's and the other for everything else.
Neil... I had the problem of lots of bags of mixed balloons too, but after the MCR C&S day I bit the bullet and colour sorted them. I now have a decent stock of each colour in the toolbox and the rest in their own bag (stored in a cupboard).
To be honest I think I will now re-stock in single colours as I seem to use more of some colours than others, and also the counts of each colour in the mixed bags are by no means equal.
Back to storage... I would like to move to a busking bag but until I start getting out there and twisting in public it just seems a bit over the top.
Martin.
I use a shoe storage system that is designed for hanging in a wardrobe made out of a strong material, each unit has 10 storage compartments that will comfortable hold 200 balloons each
Can't remember where I brought these. They hold about 300 balloons each.
Now thats neat !!!! 8-) Going to have to start sorting as martin says and do a stock take 8-)
I've seen this on Youtube

I do the same thing, I use zip bags (for freezing), one per color, I empty air in each bag, I store them in a cooler box and I put it in my garage to keep it fresh.
When I have a gig, I put in this box an ice block (don't know if it has a special name in english) coiled in a towel (to keep the humidity inside the towel and not transfered to zip bags or balloons).
