I am in the process of making a couple of air filled foil Christmas trees for both of my kids schools.  I have used the 31" anagram Winnie the Pooh foil Christmas tree and 10 x 5" gold Q's for the bases.  Just wondering if I am going to have to replace these before Christmas or whether they should hold up.  Not done a long term display before  :roll:

I have had latex balloons christmas trees on display in local supermarket since middle of october Yvonne, used brown 5" as trunk and not replaced any of them - not many green 11" ones either. And balloon archways too high in the air to change, but still looking good.

If you fully inflate your balloons and deflate it, it will stretch it, then inflate it to size, you are inflating it in less tension so it should last longer.

You may find your foil may go soft and need a pump up.

As you go to the school to pick up - just put a couple of balloons in your pocket then you can change them if need be.
