Hi all,

I did my first double bubble arch today for a bridal shower. Although 
everyone was very impressed as well as myself, I also say the flaws. I had a 
lot of trouble tying the balloons and often helium leaked out as I struggled 
to tie them to the arch. This is what I did so please tell me if I did it 
wrong or if there is a better way to do them. I took the inside balloon and 
tied it around one side of the monofilament and the outer balloon around the 
other and then tied them to each other. I could gradually see the outer 
balloons shrinking over the course of the shower. My fingers are sore too. It 
was so beautiful by after this experience I realize that there must be an 
easier way. Please help!

Also, I learned of a neat tip to getting balloons off the ceiling if letting 
them go by accident. You tie a helium balloon to a line and put a small piece 
of duct tape on top of it. You slowly let this balloon rise up to the one on 
the ceiling. It will stick to the tape and you can then pull it down. A boy 
scout leader taught me this last night at a boy scout awards dinner that I 
decorated for. I thought it was neat and would like to know if you know of 
any other ways to do this.
