***IF YOU ORDERED A SHAPED MYLAR BALLOON - Use the paper straw included to inflate your balloon (or get it inflated with helium at the arty store) - insert it into the balloon, inflate like a normal balloon, then remove straw and press balloon edges together firmly - it will self seal. Follow the above instructions for the tassel portion of your tassel balloon, then simplay knot the tassel tail to the inflation tab on your balloon, or tape it on in any location you like. Once you are done with your balloon, you can insert the straw and press all the air out and store it for another party :)
Let me know if you have any questions :)
