  Heart-shaped balloons are festive and fun.

  Silk ribbon comes in a variety of colors, sizes and styles.
  
  Snip a 12-inch length of silk ribbon from the roll. Use a color that fits well with the theme you are going with for this craft.

  Tie the length of ribbon around the knot of the balloon and secure it into a simple bow.

  Pour your choice of loose glitter onto a rolling pan. If you don't have a rolling pan, use a cake pan or even a paper plate. Use about a cup of glitter.

  Hold the can of spray adhesive about five inches from the surface of the balloon. Press firmly on the nozzle to release a fine mist of glue over the top part of the balloon.

  Dip the balloon into the loose glitter, coating it with the shimmering material. This gives the balloon a touch of shine and extra color, making it a nice addition to a party or other event as decoration. Repeat these steps with other balloons to create more decorations.
