These pumpkin balloons I make every year for the kids’ school party are crazy easy to make with my DIY Jack O Lantern Template below.
Plus, if you use Dollar Store helium balloons or fill your own up at home, they’re an affordable way to fill any classroom or Halloween party at home with fun decor easily.
You could even use them for the front patio to greet trick-or-treaters. They are bright and way less work than pumpkin carving will be.
As a party planning momma, I’ve learned an important lesson:
Not much makes kids happier than balloons!
As a general rule, balloons make every situation happier and festive.
And this fall, whether you are planning a classroom party at school or a chili cook-off at home, these bright jack-o-lantern face pumpkin balloons will make your event so much better.
Pick any color in the rainbow balloons; here’s an affordable bulk pack to get you started on a very colorful Halloween.
Jack O Lantern Face Balloon Supplies
To make the pumpkin balloons, you will need:
- Black contact paper, grab it at a local box store or order right here.
- Balloons, any balloons will work, but I especially love the look of doing it with 18 inch mylar balloons for the color selection and the size
- Jack-o-lantern template
- Scissors and a pencil
- Balloon time helium tank
Instructions
Step 1: Create a jack-o-lantern face template with pencil and paper. This is a fun part of the process, and every face can look a bit different.
Step 2: Trace the template onto the contact paper and cut it out.
Step 3: Place the cut jack-o-lantern face onto the balloon for a colorful Halloween spook.
I get excited every year to plan bright, fun, colorful ways to celebrate with Halloween party ideas. Happy ballooning!
