Make your own balloon weights!

Having a party but don't want to pay $1+ each for balloon weights?, or don't like the stores selection?
Try these!
All you need is tissue paper, small rocks or stones & ribbon.
For mine I used light & dark paper tissue, and small white rocks that I took from a local parking lot.
Use 1 sheet of each color tissue (or 2 sheets of a single color)
Place a rock in the center or a small pile of stones, should be able 3inches wide/high.
Fold the tissue corners up to the center above the rocks, and grab the tissue with your hand securing it like a sack.
Cut about 20inches of ribbon, place the center of the ribbon onto the stem of the sack behind your hand, wrap it fully around once & secure with a knot or a bow.
Curl your left over ribbon.

On party day simply tie the end of your balloon ribbon around the same stem.
