RUBFAC Mermaid Balloon Garland Kit (Purple Tail)

We really loved this kit — our little girl was dreaming of a mermaid (sirene) birthday, and this was the perfect fit! The colors are gorgeous in person, with shimmery purples, greens, and silver that brought her “under the sea” theme to life. Everything we needed was included — different balloon sizes, ribbons, glue dots, and even a tool that made tying balloons so much easier. We used an electric pump, and in about an hour the whole arch was ready. It looked stunning once up, just like in the photos! The balloons are great quality and didn’t pop easily. They stayed inflated for days, and the confetti balloons added a beautiful sparkle. For such a low price, the result looked professionally decorated. Highly recommend this set to anyone planning a mermaid or ocean-themed birthday. Our daughter’s smile said it all — magical, colorful, and unforgettable! 🧜‍♀️💜

I absolutely loved this kit! The colors are exactly like the pictures and look so elegant together. It comes with plenty of balloons, so the garland looks full and not empty at all. It was easier to assemble than I expected, and with a little patience it looks like professional party decor. The balloons are good quality and didn’t pop easily while inflating. I used it for a celebration and got so many compliments. I would definitely buy it again!

Holy balloons! I ordered two packs because I was afraid I wouldn’t have enough balloons for a 4th of July parade float! Let me say - just one pack contains A LOT OF balloons! A LOT! It’s a really good value for the money, the balloons have gorgeous colors (even prettier than on the photo) and it was super easy to assemble. It definitely took us longer to recreate the shape, not because it’s difficult, but because there are just so many balloons! On a different note - I haven’t used balloons in years, because I live in Florida and once you take regular balloons outside they pop in the sun pretty quickly (within a couple hours in February!). These balloons not only lasted all way through the 4th of July parade (at 105 degrees), they didn’t even pop for a whole week! I actually ended up popping them myself to clean up the float. To me that was a huge plus! If I ever need balloons again, I’ll definitely order these. The colors and the glitter are so pretty!

After reading the reviews and seeing the price, I decided I would try this out for my sister’s mermaid themed party. I personally think the assembly was fun but keeping it held up was the most difficult part for us since the arch can’t be held up with just tape or the glue stickers that come with the kit. We ended using twine to help hold it up and a chair to hold one end up. In total, it took us about 2-3 hours to set up. This may sound daunting but it actually went by quickly since we were talking and listening to music. We had one person blow up the balloons with a handheld balloon pump (highly recommended, you will get tired if you try to blow this up on your own) and one person arrange the balloons. We alternated putting balloons on each side of the garland. If you blow up the balloons too big, don’t worry. You can add in a smaller sized balloon to fill in the space. Overall it was a great first experience building a balloon arch and it got lots of compliments! I would definitely purchase this again if I ever help with another mermaid themed party :)

Great value for the money. I didn't particularly care for the clear ballon ribbon that you use to attach the balloons. The balloons felt and looked too loose for my taste on the strip. I ended up creating clusters of balloons, then attaching the clusters on the clear ribbon. This caused me to not be able to create the thick to thin tail desgin but I'm still happy with my results. This was my first time using confetti ballons and I struggled a bit to get the confetti to evenly distribute inside the ballon but it was fun and a beautiful end result. There was PLENTY of clear ribbon to make the tail, which was great. There were so many ballons thatmade this such a great value. I used just about every balloon. I only had two ballons pop on me, both white. I loved the little silver accent balloons, it made it look really expensive and professional. I looked like a crazy woman taking a huge display into chuck e cheese. One of the fins deflated (as seen in the photo) but it was totally my fault. I didn't fill it with enough air and when I went to put more air in, I poked a hole. Nobody noticed unless I pointed it out. Pro tip: use a straw to blow air in the mallard ballons. Everyone thought the balloons were lovely and professionally done.

Love all the colors, sizes and extra foil balloons. This was such a great set and turned out perfect! I only had 3 pop, but I’m pretty sure that’s because I over inflated them. The foil ones were a bit tricky to inflate- I have one of those electric pumps. I had to get the valve right in the middle of the plastic pieces and wiggle it around a bit to get air to go inside, but once I fiddled with it, they all filled great. Loved this set and would purchase from this company again! My only suggestion would be a few less white balloons and maybe one or two more pearl ones instead. But even with what I had, it looked great!

Great

I gave this 5 stars because it will look amazing if you put the work into it and the quality of the materials are great! I rated it as easy to assemble because it really is. It just takes time and patience. I had one person blowing up balloons with an air compressor, another handing them to me and then I was constructing it. Do not attempt blowing up all of the balloons without a compressor or some device. I blew up the balloons and constructed them two days before the party and hung it the night before the party. Only had 2 balloons pop and you couldn’t even tell because there are so many. I used command hooks and string to hang it and position how I wanted to. Took about 3 hours for both of them total. Heck of a bang for you buck and everyone loved them!

The arch was easy to make and the colors were true to the pictures. The balloons lasted a few days so you can make the arch a day or so in advance and not worry about them deflating.

Quality and colors are beautiful! I use 2 packages to make the full arch.

I’m very satisfied balloons is very good quality

Came as expected, however about half the balloons lasted the night. Made the arch the night before my daughters birthday and we could hear the balloons popping through the night.
