Reusing Mylar Balloons |
|
|
Mylar balloons are expensive; so don't throw them out. You can use them again. Here's what I do when a Mylar balloon gets tired. I use a plastic drinking straw with one end trimmed into the shape of a fountain pen nib to help me let every bit of air escape. I insert it into the balloon through the base and up through the rubber gasket. Then I press out as much air as possible, remove the straw, and fold and store the balloon. My local grocery store will refill used balloons with helium for a quarter. Sometimes I inflate them like ordinary balloons, and other times I use them just partially filled as packing material when mailing boxes. They easily fill empty space in a box. No more Styrofoam peanuts!

Refilling the Mylar balloons does not always work!
If you are refilling it, is probably because it leaked in the first place.
Been there done that!
Refill Mylar Balloons
Save your old mylar balloon and have the florist reinflate it for about .75 cents.

another use for these beauties is to use them as wrapping paper! Be careful to slice the bottom of the ballon and insert gift with tissue wrapped around it. It makes a beautiful one of a kind wrapping, and you were able to use it 2x. Plus it's free wrapping.
