Using this balloon holder set is a breeze. First, assemble the stand by fitting the poles into the flower-shaped bases and then into the balloon cup holders. You can then place your balloons in the cup holders. Remember, the order only includes the holder, so you'll need to get your own balloons. For the best stability, use balloons that are 12 inches in size. If you use balloons between 13 and 14 inches, they might start to tilt. To keep your balloon holders in good condition, simply clean them with a damp cloth. Store them in a dry place when not in use to prevent any damage to the plastic material.
