Balloon bunches are a classic decorating accent that adds some lift to your party décor. Create balloon bunches of clusters of Hollywood balloons in odd numbers. The Hollywood balloons look great accented with a popcorn mylar balloon. Secure them with coordinating curling ribbon to balloon weights or the backs of chairs.

If your carnival party is going to be outside, the Outdoor Carnival Decorating Kit, personalized banners, and plenty of sunshine are perfect for decorating. If you’re hosting the carnival indoors, use Gossamer to create a tent for your carnival to be held under. Here’s how:

Suspend a 3′ metal ring or a 3′ circle of 1/2″ plywood in the center of the area to be decorated. The distance above the floor is determined by personal preference, and ceiling height. If the gossamer strips that will make up the ceiling cannot be fastened directly to the outside walls of the room, run a wire around the room attached by inconspicuous screw eyes. The wire could be an all-purpose steel or aluminum decorating wire from a hardware or craft store. You could also use a monofilament line of 30 or 40 pound test.

Use 60″ wide or 107″ wide gossamer strips to run from the center to the outside walls. To determine the length of the gossamer strips, use a builder’s or carpenter’s measuring tape and measure from the center ring or plywood disc to the walls. Start by measuring the distance to the four corners – since those will be the longest strips. If your ring or circle is positioned correctly in the center of the room, you need only measure to one corner since all four will be the same. Allow additional gossamer to fasten around the ring or fasten on top of the circle and to fasten to the wall or around the wire.

Put up a test strip of gossamer to one corner. If you have a ring, gather the gossamer to 2″ or 3″ across, loop it around the ring and staple gossamer to itself. The stapled loop is on top of the strip of gossamer, out of sight. If you have a wooden disc, gather the gossamer the same way and use a staple gun to fasten it to the top of the disc. Carry the gossamer to the wall, loop it over the wire (or fasten it directly to the wall) and staple the gossamer in the same way – allowing for a swag or droop in the fabric.

At the outside wall, pleat or gather the gossamer to 1/2 its original width for the best appearance. The 60″ wide gossamer should be 30″ wide, the 107″ wide gossamer should be 54″ wide. 19″ wide gossamer is not practical to use for ceilings in any but the smallest of rooms. Measure additional strips and fill in the complete ceiling the same way.

Cover your walls with stripes of brightly colored flat paper and you’ll have an awesome looking indoor carnival.

More important than decorations though are the carnival games! ShindigZ has a fantastic assortment of carnival games, crafts, and activities!

Sell tickets from our Double Roll of Tickets and charge a certain amount of tickets for each game. If you’re not trying to raise funds through your carnival, use the tickets to make sure kids are taking turns! Hand out a certain allotment of tickets for each how. Plus, the tickets add to the carnival ambiance.

We have tons of classic carnival game kits such as Bean Bag Tosses, a Can Toss Game, a Duck Fishing Game, The Clothespin Drop Game, a plastic Bowling Game set, and Field Cones and Relay Batons for running three-legged races, foot races, and relay games. Check out all our carnival games in the Carnival Party Store!
