Original caption

Skip the cupcakes and bring balloon wands instead! These were so easy to make using linking balloons, and I added leftover foil backdrop pieces to the ends to create the cutest little tassel tails. Such a fun, simple addition to a birthday playdate—and the kids get to take them home and play with them! #DIYPartyIdeas #BirthdayPlaydate #PartyFavors #BalloonIdeas #DIYBirthday
