If you follow us on social media, I am sure you have seen Betsy’s incredible popsicles—but have you seen her balloons also made of resin and glitter? I am loving these little cuties and their playful, bubbly nature; they are an instant show stopper and conversation piece! Though, you may ask, where would you put these balloons? Well, I am glad you asked!

These little guys are an everlasting balloon! What kid wouldn’t want this in their room or play area? It is a classy, and sassy, way of adding a little bit of the kid in the adult space, and a little bit of the adult in the kids' space. It is a classy way of making your playroom more spunky! This being said though, these are not toys, and should be hung up high and out of reach for the safety of your kids and of your art.

My home office—currently my kitchen table because I live in an apartment—has to have things that inspire me around it or I lack inspiration. These adorable balloons instantly add a flare of fun and carefree spirit about them, plus they are easier to hang than any inspirational quote I’ve ever tried to put on my office wall. Little metal instruments are on the back of each balloon making them utterly effortless to hang—all you have to do is put a nail in the wall. Also, it’s a balloon so if it gets a little off kilter it just adds to the fun, playful quality of the piece. Also not pictured, each balloon has a curly ribbon tail making it even more "realistic"! If you're not a fan of the tail, it can be removed.

Something I am loving right now is a mixed media gallery wall. Different textures, colors, styles all coming together to describe you and your household. All these pieces coming together to weave the tapestry of your personality, your story, your relationships with those around you and the home that you are living in.

Only four left in her collection, Betsy’s balloons can be seen here! If there's one you particularly love, let us know and we can send you more pictures of how it's hung.
