Creative Collective Mentor + Mix at The Barn At Springhouse

Things that aren’t as easy as they look: throwing balloons into the air and immediately striking a pose for a photo....and running a business, a side hustle, or just being an all-around force to be reckoned with.

That’s why we’re here! We are so grateful for all of the amazing women who attended our first event, and we can’t WAIT for Mentor + Mix on May 8th from 7-9pm.

The founders of CC have experience in so many fields, including design, retail, photography, branding, marketing, art, events, renovation, and starting and sustaining a business...to name a few! Now, we want to be an asset to you.

DIY Balloon Arch

One of my favorite parts of our Creative Collective Meet + Mingle event was designing + putting together this balloon arch backdrop.  This was my first time attempting any kind of balloon arch, but I was surprised at how easy it was and how quickly I seemed to get the hang of the process.  Like most of my DIY projects, I read several tutorials online and then kind of combined the easiest steps from each (because I don't have any time for complicated projects!).  I did have lots of help with this project, as one of our coffee shop employees helped me blow up most of the balloons and my friend Katie helped me assemble and hang the arch onto the wall.  This is such a great way to create a stunning focal point for any event or party and I PROMISE it isn't as hard as it looks (or I wouldn't have done it).
