   For Halloween, you can use black and orange balloons.
   
   For Valentine’s Day you can use red and pink balloons.

   Use cheap fishing line or thread from the store and put it through the eye of your needle.
   
   Tie a knot at the end of your thread so that it doesn’t get pulled through the eye of your needle.Applying beeswax to the end of a thread can help bring it to a point if you’re having difficulty threading your needle., Penetrate the small knot at the bottom of your balloons and make sure to avoid popping the actual balloon.
   
   Pull your fishing line through the hole that you created until it reaches the end of the thread or line.
   
   Once you don’t have any fishing line left, tie a tight knot around the bottom knot of the balloon.
   
   This will be the start of your garland., Continue to lace your needle and thread through other knots at the bottom of your blown up balloons.
   
   String as many balloons as you want together until the garland reaches the length that you want., Apply glue to the sides of any extra balloons and try to fill empty spaces along your garland.
   
   You can either use a clear glue stick or gorilla glue.
