How To Repair Your Ripped Inflatable Christmas Decoration


'Tis the season for joyful decorations and Christmas inflatables that bring holiday cheer to our homes. However, nothing can deflate the holiday spirit more than discovering a rip or tear in your beloved inflatable Christmas decoration.

But fear not! In this easy-to-follow guide, we'll show you exactly how to patch up those unexpected mishaps.

DIY Project Steps

1. Locate the damaged area.

To start repairing your decoration, carefully search your inflatable Christmas decoration, and find any rips, tears, or holes you can see. Double-check to see if there's more than one.

2. Find the zipper and open

Many inflatable decorations come with a zipper at the bottom. If your inflatable has this feature, find the zipper and open it gently to uncover the inside. This is an important step for better visibility and reaching the damaged section, for a cleaner repair.

3. Pull through the section and flatten

After opening the zipper, carefully pull through the ripped or torn section of the inflatable. This allows easier handling of the damaged area. Flatten out the damaged section to create a smooth and even surface, a important step to ensure proper adhesion and achieving a seamless smooth fix.

4. Cut tape and secure

With a pair of scissors, cut a piece of clear flex tape that is slightly larger than the damaged area. Choosing a tape that is transparent ensures that the repair is not only effective but also hard to see. Carefully position the cut piece of clear flex tape over the hole or ripped area, ensuring complete coverage. Press down firmly and evenly to create a strong bond between the tape and the inflatable material. Secure the edges thoroughly to prevent any air leakage.

5. Reinflate

Now that the repair is done, let's bring your inflatable decoration back to life by carefully pushing the material back through. Close the zipper securely. After completing this step, plug it back in, and enjoy watching it reinflate to its original festive glory.
