Beautiful Balloon Decorations on Eid day



Balloon decorations are just what you need. These do-it-yourself ideas are not only low-cost but also lovely additions to reception on EID day. Adding balloon decorations on EID day is a smart way to be creative and save money.

Balloon Arch
The balloon arch is a perfect way to add flair to your celebration. The easiest way to construct the piece is to get a pre-built Eid arch made of white metal. If a Eid arch is not available, you can build an arch using strong bendable metal wire. Just make sure it is sturdy enough to stand on its own.
After positioning the arch, simply attach full balloons onto the arch using wire ties or string. Wrap the tie around the base of the balloon and then onto the arch. It is best to start at the top and work your way down both sides evenly to crate a uniform look. This can be done with multicolored balloons or balloons of one shade. Balloons should not be filled with helium however.
The more balloons you can attach, the better the piece will turn out. Also, this is a piece that must be constructed at the site where it will be used. Balloon arches last approximately twelve hours, so plan its construction carefully.
The completed arch can be used in several places. Some brides choose to place the arch outside the entrance to the ceremony. This allows guest to walk through the arch as well as the bride and her attendants. Other brides choose to use the arch as a ceremony highlight. They prefer to place it in the ceremony area so they can stand under it as they are saying their vows. Lastly, many brides feel this decoration is better suited for the reception area and use it to decorate for the after-ceremony event.

Balloon Centerpiece
For brides on a tight budget, balloon decoration can be an easy way to stay on track financially and design a beautiful wedding. One of the best places brides can use wedding balloon decorations is on reception tables. To make a creative balloon centerpiece, you will need white paper lunch sacks, sand, pretty string, helium, and balloons in coordinating reception colors.
Take a paper sack and fill it will two cups of sand. Fill three balloons with helium and tie them off with long strings. Then, bunch up the top of the sack and tie the balloons around it to secure them. Place the sack in the middle of the table and you have an easy centerpiece.
It is best to cut the strings of the three balloons differently to allow them to be different heights when arranged. You can also curl excess ribbon or string to make it more decorative. For extra beauty, brides can stuff the bags with decorative tissue paper after adding the sand. When the balloons are attached the tissue paper can stick out of the top for a more polished look.
This idea is also great for last minute decorating. Brides are not limited to using this piece in the reception, and can also use this idea to decorate the ceremony. It is lovely to place this piece on the floor, lining the aisle in the ceremony.
Balloon decorations for eid are wonderful ways to add fun and creativity. Brides can make the decorations themselves with their family and friends. These ideas may be low-cost, but the end product certainly looks beautiful.

Decorative Wall Painting Technique


Using stencils to trace beautiful paintings to adorn walls of houses dates back to the Egyptian civilization. Through out history there are various references to the use of decorative stencil patterns used to embellish walls of palaces and of the local people. It is also a folk art that has been used by the common man for generations. Stenciling involves repeating a simple pattern or using complex patterns in various colors either to tell a story or to decorate walls and furniture. You can use this type of decorative painting to adorn the walls of your house too. Just follow the instructions given below.

1. Prepare wall by removing nails and repairing cracks. Use primer if needed.
2. Use painter's tape-to-tape edges, window and doorframes.
3. Remove all light fixtures and cover all furniture with old sheets.
4. Choose a base color that is neutral like eggshell and apply it evenly.
5. Use clear acetate and oiled stencil cards to cut out stencils in patterns you like. For acetate use a rapidgraph to trace the image. For oiled stencil paper use carbon paper and a sharp pencil to trace image.
6. Use a sharp knife or blade to make clean cuts in the stencil.
7. Use stencil brushes for fine and complicated designs and for patterns that are from folk art it is better to use a sponge. It can be natural marine or synthetic.
8. Artistic acrylic paints are best for stenciling, it can be easily applied and dries rapidly. Oil paints can also be used but this takes longer to dry. Household latex paint can be used though it is a little thick for intricate stencil patterns.
