1 Insert the nozzle of the helium tank into the filling tab of the balloon. Place the opening of the balloon around the nozzle of the helium tank so the nozzle is about 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) in. This is known as the filling tab.[14] X Research source
- As you fill the balloon, hold onto the filling tab securely.
2 Press down on the nozzle of the tank to gently fill the balloon. To add air to the balloon, simply push the nozzle downward slightly while holding onto the filling tab. You'll notice the balloon start to fill with air. Continue pressing down on the nozzle until the balloon is completely full.[15] X Research source
- Keep a secure grip, as the air may come out pretty quickly.
3 Remove the nozzle from the balloon after it is full. Your balloon is full of air when the center is firm but the outer edge is still slightly wrinkled. At this point, simply slip the filling tab off of the nozzle. When you do this, the balloon will seal itself with the adhesive strip on the inside of the balloon.[16]
4 Enjoy your balloon for 3-7 days. Helium is an easy way to fill foil balloons, but they don't last quite as long as using regular air.
- You can tie a ribbon to your balloon to display it for a birthday party, retirement celebration, or wedding, for example.
