• Add water and gelatin to a microwave safe bowl. Mix until well combined. Allow it to bloom (rest) for 10 minute Place in microwave for 15 seconds, or until it is dissolved. Add gel paste at this point.
• Dip balloons into the gelatin mixture, leaving the tied end wear the balloon meets the stick without gelatin.
• Place the coated balloons on a piece of styrofoam and allow to dry for about 24-48 hours.
