5.1M views · 33K reactions | These flower ice balls are one of my favorite ways to keep drinks cool for parties, even in winter at Christmastime. And even though it’s Christmas, I still like my drinks icy cold, especially sparkling juice. I know you all love them too as this is my most viral video of them all! While regular ice is always an option, these Christmas Ice Balls last WAY LONGER as they are so much BIGGER!! (ps. I have a video timeline showing how they lasted over 24 hours!) I found a clear container and waterproof mini-lights to add to the Christmas party ambiance. I’ve created ice balls so many times with balloons and silicone molds so I have 12 tips and tricks that I hope will help you when creating these for your next party. Tips & Notes: 1. This particular tool is only advertised to be used for filling balloons. I don’t recommend you use it for anything but filling balloons. If you are a farmer or grew up on a farm you’ll know what I mean. And yes, I know the original purpose of the tool. 😂 But the balloon industry has a very different use for it. 2. Boiled distilled water makes the ice more clear, but I needed water pressure to fill these balloons. I did use boiled distilled water in the silicone mold, but it still froze in multiple directions which caused impurities to be scattered throughout the ice causing it to be less clear. 3. The balloons I used are made from 100% natural latex (not plastic), they are biodegradable and compostable in 6 weeks and are made with food-grade ink. Oh, and the bags that they came in are compostable too as they are made from 100% corn starch. You can read all 12 tips/notes (like a melting timeline) & find more details about these balloons on my blog. Ps. Our freezer was empty because we had just moved. :) | Domestically Blissful | Facebook
