Description
We didn't get a tree this year, and then on the morning of Christmas Eve I suddenly thought, "but we have about ten million balloons, and Qualatex means quality." This took about an hour to make. Since I didn't really plan ahead the colors are sort of random, but the ornaments and decorations are supposed to be colorful, right? This photo was taken after it had been up all day. Only one popped, but it was one that I had had to inflate twice (and was a bit overfilled), and it was easily replaced.Consists of 4 Q24s, 13 Q16s and 4 Q11s. We were running out of Stars Around 16s, which is pretty good considering we got the bag what... five years ago? Time to buy more. The implications for next year, given the depth of Qualatex's catalogue, are rather sobering and not altogether good for the budget.

I had one balloon that had a little hole in it. I never inflated it so no Qualatex may have some flaws

You win the best comment prize. It is missing because our living room is too small... NOT because we don't have them. ^_~

Nope. I did propose it but in the end I just untied them all. I only put the lip halfway through the knot so it was fairly easy to undo by hand. It would have been a terrible waste of perfectly reusable Qualatex.

It's not a Mylar, it's a Qualatex deco bubble with an 11 inch latex inside to give it dome background color.
And uh, we got it... from... Disneyland. Last year about this time, actually.

eBay... MIGHT work. As far as I know the only place you can get them is in the actual Disney parks.

The couch had to be moved to get a good photo. XD It's actually kind of boxed in.

Yeah it seems kind of obvious now right!? There's still time for this year, and it's not exactly difficult.
