Instructions

1)	 Calculate the line length for your arch.

              Latex Arch Calculator*

Taller than Wide:
(2 x _________ft) + _________ft + 6 ft = _________ft
height             width              total length

Wider than Tall:
___________ft + ___________ft + 6 ft = ___________ft
height             width              total length

Same Height and Width:
(1.5 x ________ft) + _________ft + 6 ft = _________ft
height                  width         total length

2)	 Cut arch line to the length calculated in step 1. Stretch line to the full length
    and tie each end to sturdy anchors 3 feet from each end. Line should be pulled
    tight between anchors.

3)	 Create a duplet: Helium inflate one 11" latex
balloon, and pinch the neck while inflating
another 11" latex balloon. Hold the balloons with their necks crossed, and twist
one balloon over the neck of the other and back to its original position. Tie the
necks together.
