Here’s the pastel balloon garland kit that used for Elise’s unicorn balloon arch. The balloon arch kit included 100 good-quality balloons (only 1 popped while filling) in five pastel colors: pink, blue, purple, yellow, mint green. Each color had 10 (ten) 5-inch balloons, 8 (eight) 10-inch balloons, and 2 (two) 18-inch balloons. I had a handful of balloons leftover to decorate other areas of the room.
