You can simply weave your balloons through the openings.  No reason to
attach them.  They'll stay securely.  I make the holes that I put the
balloons into just wide enough for two 260's to fit through the holes side
by side.

Take a look at:

The 260s are only being shown at the end of the video clip.  If you've got
a slow internet connection, you'll just have to be patient if you want to
see that.  (Or you can buy the CD-ROM - Attack of the 50 Foot Demon.)
