Print out one copy for each balloon on 8.5 x 11 Brown Kraft Paper. If the paper is thick/cover stock like I used here, it will be heavier and may weight down the balloons, requiring you to fill them up with more helium. Lighter/text paper is better.

Cut the curve of each sheet. You can also cut off the edges but it’s not necessary. If you have mad scissor skills, cut a stack at once.

Curve the paper like a cone.

Staple the overlap in two places, leaving a small space at the cone point, enough for the balloon string to travel through. I love this A long-arm stapler but not necessary.

Blow up all of your balloons with helium and tie a string of Kraft Ribbon. run the other end of the ribbon through the cone and out of the point. Pull ribbon until balloon sits inside cone.

Staple through the ribbon to secure to the cone point.
