Party & balloon embroidery designs
Balloon bunches, striped party hats, confetti and gift boxes with big bows: these party & balloon embroidery designs dress up celebration shirts, favor bags, fabric gift bags and party crowns. Free and premium party designs alike come with PES, JEF and DST files, along with EXP, VP3 and more. Balloon strings are thin lines, so on stretchy fabric use a cut-away stabilizer to keep them from waving.

Party motifs are all about color: round balloons in red, lemon, sky blue and hot pink, party hats with stripes or dots, and confetti scattered around a gift box. Hot air balloons are a travel motif and live with the adventure designs.
Small cotton favor bags take a tear-away stabilizer; if you sew them yourself, embroider the fabric before you stitch the bag closed. Felt party crowns are a favorite for kids' birthdays: wool-blend felt is stable, so a light tear-away below is enough, and the 70 mm balloons fit the front of most crowns.
These party and balloon embroidery designs work for any celebration, from a child's birthday to a retirement party or a baby shower. For cakes, candles and age numbers, see the birthday designs.
Frequently asked questions
What can I embroider for a party besides T-shirts?
Favor bags for every guest, felt crowns, cloth napkins, a bunting banner with one balloon on each pennant, or fabric gift bags that replace wrapping paper and can be used again next year. Choose one motif and a few colors and repeat them, so everything looks like a set.
How do I keep small confetti dots from puckering the fabric?
Hoop the fabric drum-tight on a firm stabilizer, so the many small pieces do not pull the fabric between them. Let your machine trim the jumps between dots; if it does not trim automatically, clip the jump threads close to the fabric after stitching. On knits, a cut-away holds the dots in place better than a tear-away.
