How to Use a Balloon Sizer

To use a balloon sizer, simply inflate a balloon until it reaches the desired size. Then, place the balloon over the sizer and release the air. The balloon will deflate and the sizer will hold it at the desired size.

Balloon sizers are a great tool for creating custom balloon decorations for parties, weddings, and other special events. They are also great for teaching children about different sizes and shapes.
