What you'll make
Picture a soft cloud of beige and cream balloons drifting across the top of your dessert table, with little tufts of dried grass peeking out, and every guest stopping for a photo in front of it. It looks like something a decorator spent a morning on, and it's really one afternoon with a pump and a few friends. About C$56 for a 3 m (10 ft) garland, pump included.
