This year I got a late start on holiday projects, so New Year’s Eve didn’t receive as much attention as usual. Still, I did create a fun project for Balloon Time: festive clock balloons that make a perfect countdown display. Arrange them to show different times, set them all to just before midnight, or mix and match for a photo booth backdrop or table decor—these clocks add instant party flair. The full step-by-step tutorial is available on Balloon Time’s site.

White mylar balloons and gold letter balloons make great accents for this look.
A brief personal note: one year ago tomorrow I announced my partnership with Balloon Time. It’s been an incredible year of creating balloon projects together, and I’m excited to continue collaborating into the new year. Partnering with a company that fits so well with my style has been a real highlight. I’ll share one quick post tomorrow before taking a short holiday break.
