When making ice lanterns, I always stress that one can make them in any container. This is very true. I will reiterate though, that one should only use a container that one does not treasure as it COULD crack when the ice begins to expand while freezing.
I think that is one of the many reasons I have always loved making ice lanterns in balloons. By their very nature, they are a one-time use commodity that peels right off when the ice lantern is made. But contrary to common thought, all balloons are NOT created equal. When I am walking outside with my hands filled with 50 lbs of water in a balloon in 10° temps or lower, I DON'T want that balloon to break! A lesser quality balloon has the tendency to bulge (who likes bulges of any nature?), become a blob when placing it on the ground and they BREAK!
So our Extra Balloon Packs and Kits contain premium, heavyweight balloons to make your Globe Ice Lantern experience more successful!
