    Fantastic lens - congratulations on being featured on the May Monsterboard "50 Creative Upcycling/Recycling Lenses"! I love mylar party balloons, I never thought of recycling them because I never throw them away! When I was a girl, I had a mylar/foil party balloon decorated with Kermit the Frog and I kept it as a room decoration for years+. This is a great lens - I've featured it on mine: http://www.squidoo.com/free-internet-resources-for-birthday-parties. Thanks for sharing!

    1: Halloween masks were made w/deflated round yellow Smiley Face & red Heart Smiley Face mylars by cutting off stem, slitting bottom seam on each side of stem hole to snuggly fit over heads. Cut out Smileys eyes & make holes for nostrils, slits for mouths, air holes at ears. Not recommended for kids. Once on heads, stuff bubble wrap on the sides & backs of heads to force the face openings against faces. Masks had front & back faces so we wore shirts & ties backwards too. Walking forward, we appeared to walk backward too. 2: Cut stems off deflated mylars, lightly stuff with packing peanuts/bubble wrap, tape closed, tape ribbon,/string /yarn on top & hang at parties. 3: Pinata's can be made from deflated mylars by cutting off stems, lightly filling with candy & small toys. Don't over stuff or tape won't hole prizes inside. Lightly tape stem hole shut so it breaks open easy when batted. Securely tape ribbon/yar/string at top to hang

    Great idea on recycled balloons. 5^

    Good info about a subject I know nothing of. Could you sew on the old ballons? Mylar is used in quilts, so why not these/ 5*

    I love the fact that you can be a "Party Animal" and still be socially and environmentally responsible. Perfect 5*s!

    Great ideas here! I haven't used Mylar Balloons for awhile, but I have heard that you can also use old ones to make the zig zag chains like we did when I was a kid....
