Confetti will not stick to the sides of your balloon without static and unfortunately helium does not create static. We suggest that you pop in some air first. To create static rub the inflated balloon with your hand and roll the balloon for the confetti to stick. This process may need to be repeated during your event. We cannot guarantee the confetti will stick when inflating with helium.Also, remember that confetti in balloons will affect the float time when filled with helium. We recommend blowing confetti balloons up with a balloon pump.
