CUPS + STICKS

HOW TO Use 9749904 Cello Cup™ Balloon Cups 1. After filling and sealing an air-filled balloon, tightly twist the stem about ten times. 2. With the Cello Cup™ upside down, hold the air filled balloon upside down and pull the stem up through the first slit. Placing a finger over this first slit to prevent the balloon stem from slipping can be helpful as you proceed. 3. Wrap the exposed neck across the next slit. 4. Pull the stem across the underside of the cup to the next slit, then pull the stem up through that slit resembling a “weaving” action. 5. Pull the stem across the top of the cup to the first slit and pull the stem down through it. This results in an over-under weaving action. Be sure to pull the stem tight at the beginning so that the balloon sits securely in the cup. Pull the stem tight at the remaining slit and continue the over-under weaving action until the stem is hidden. 6. Push the stick into the exposed end of the cup to complete the stick-mounted balloon. With slight variations, these directions can also be applied to the other cups listed on this page.

After inflating and sealing, air-filled foil balloons can be mounted on a stick. The type of cup and stick used will depend on the size of the balloon and its end use. Below are some of the cups available to use for mounting air-filled balloons.
