DIY fringey balloons

/
Once again, here's another "this is so easy..how can you call it a DIY?" tutorial. That's just how we roll around here. Here we go!
Here is what you'll need. I bought my balloons here and my crepe paper here. The crepe paper that comes in folds works beautifully. The other kinds...not so much.
I got the instructions for the fringe from Jordan. You can see the full, beautiful fringe crepe paper instructions  here. Cut off a 3 inch (or so) piece off the end of the folded crepe paper.
 Cut.
 Mess it up a bit and you have fringe! Now, to attach it to your balloon...
Wrap the end of the fringe around the end of the balloon. Then tie your string around the fringe and the end of the balloon, pulling tightly and knotting. Don't want that pretty fringe to fall off!
 And we're ready to party!

Just some snippits of our busy, busy weekend. It was fun and totally exhausting so...success! Preston and I were lucky enough to go to an intimate concert by Mindy Gledhill at Natalie's place. We had a blast (even though, due to the subways being out of order, we were only able to catch the last 5 minutes of the concert) The bridal shower we hosted for a friend of ours was great, and the balloons were a total hit! Once the balloons had lost their helium, and I was ashamed to leave them outside any longer, you better believe Elliott had his fun with the "biiig balloons!" I was thrilled how well they turned out. More details on them soon!

Hope you all had a great weekend!
