CLIPPED RIBBONS - Clips and Curling Ribbon can be purchased separately, but are usually supplied in packs of the required colour, with ribbons pre- cut to length and with clip attached to one end.  Clipped Ribbons are most commonly used with Helium filled balloons.  The neck of a pre-filled balloon is simply wound twice around the clip and the rolled end lodged in the clip slot.  This makes a gas tight seal - no knot is required - a great time saver and far more reliable than knotting the neck of the balloon. STICK-ON LETTERS/NUMBERS - Use these with foil balloons to personalise a message. BALLOON WEIGHTS - These come in a great variety of sizes shapes and colours - they are not expensive.  The most commonly used type is shown in the photo, usually wrapped in silver or gold Mylar foil. MAKE YOUR OWN ACCESSORIES - With a little imagination you can create your own accessories.  a great fun project for the entire family. DON’T FORGET FISHING LINE! - A fine mono filament line (fishing line) can be used to anchor balloons at varying heights or to form an arch, when strung between two points.   Balloon Accessories  - The most common accessories are - Cups and Sticks, Clipped Ribbons and Balloon Weights. © Balloons Plus Coffs Harbour 2011 Click picture to enlarge
