How to put it together

  1. Put on the striped top.

  3. Gather the balloon strings into one bunch and tie them together loosely.
  4. Hold the bunch and add an optional cap, suspenders or sneakers.

    Add face paint dots and suspenders for a bright party-helper look.

  • Fairground Seller

Safety note

Balloons can be a choking hazard, so keep broken pieces away from young children. Hold the strings loosely so they do not wrap around your hand or neck.
