Can foil balloons be deflated?

Of course, if you don't want to reuse your foil party decorations you can always just pop them. But there are many out there who would like to deflate their foil balloon decorations to use them again. First, you will need to insert a straw through the seal. You should gently push the straw in through the valve, then tilt the straw towards the balloon where there should be more space. From here you will keep pushing the straw in until the air is released. Then, gently put pressure on the balloon to help the air come out faster. When all of the air is out, if the valve inside the balloon is crumbled up it can still be reused. Finally, you will need to pinch the end while pulling the straw out because the valve should be kept inside the balloon.

How are foil balloons inflated?

If you prefer to use a pump, make sure you choose one with a narrow tip. Next, insert the pump between the plastic seal. You can then start pumping air into the balloon, but make sure you're holding the plastic seal tightly. Use your best judgment, but you want the foil balloon to be filled about 95% full. Do not inflate it too much or it will blow. Foil air-filled balloons are self-sealing, so air should not come out after the pump is removed. You can also do it the old fashion way by sliding a straw inside the valve and blowing it up with your own hot air. Once you have filled the balloon up to about 95% capacity, remove the straw quickly and press the valve flat to seal it.

How do foil balloons seal?

The good news is foil balloon decorations are self-sealing, so all you have to do is remove the nozzle or the straw that you used to blow it up. Then, press the valve flat to seal it.

How long do foil balloons last?

If all of the conditions are right, foil balloons will remain full and taut for 3 to 5 days. However, they may continue to float for another 2 weeks, or longer. Cool air may cause your foil party decorations to shrivel but they will return to a normal state when they're exposed to warmer air.
