Super Mario Balloon inspiration!!

I was born in the 80’s… soooo I LOVED playing Super Mario growing up. Once I had kids, I couldn’t wait for them to get into it. It took a while, but it happened! Thanks to the New Super Mario movie releasing today! I HAD to come up with some fun projects that are sure to make any celebration SUPER!!!

The iconic Luck box is up first! How cool does it look next To the 7 foot balloon Pirahana plant?! I made mine out of Foamboard because I made it last minute and couldn’t find a plain cardboard box. Grab a box (at least 18x18”, I used 20x20”), paint it yellow (I used UNMELLOW YELLOW from Behr), and use THIS TEMPLATE to make the question mark! My suggestion would be to use white craft foam or paint it directly on the box with white acrylic paint. 

I filled the box with organic balloon clusters to make an overspill. Then, I added all my little balloon Super Mario inspired characters. I have to say, my favorite is the little power up Mushroom! Follow the video below and the template for the goomba face to make your own. These little balloon friends are the PERFECT addition for any celebration or balloon decor piece.
