2. Blow up to balloons and tie the two ends together.
3. Tie another pair of balloons together.
4. Take the two pairs and cross them in the middle. Twist them together to make a cluster of four.
5. Weight the short column by filling a baggie with sand and tying it to the column with fishing line. Do not cut the fishing line.
6. Make an additional balloon cluster.
7. Place the second cluster of balloons on top of the first cluster, twisting the clusters so that the two fit closely together.
8. Bring fishing line through center of the column to attach the two clusters together.
9. Continue until all the balloons are used.
