Uplifters can be powered by a wide variety of balloons...

A single 16" (here decorated with a 260 bow tie) provides the necessary lift... but more or bigger balloons increases the float time.

This one shows a small bouquet of one 16" and three 11". One 16" with six 11" looks even better and floats longer!

A single 24" balloon supplies an Uplifter with maximum lift and longevity. This one is decorated with 5" balloon collars.

A bouquet of seven or eleven 11" balloons arranged in tiers is perfect for a giant splash of color! If an 18" message foil balloon is desired, it can easily be substituted for the top balloon.

Special shape latex balloons, like the beautiful 17" ruby red hearts attached to this Uplifter, can really add to the sentiment of the gift.

Average size (18") foil balloons do not have enough lift power to use independently on an Uplifter... but the giant foil balloons, like this 36" star, look great and last a long time.
