主权项 1. A balloon holder, comprising: a. a flat body lying entirely in a single plane and being defined by an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter, the inner and outer perimeters defining a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the inner perimeter defining a circular void through which an item can be inserted, wherein a through-hole extends from the first surface to the second surface; b. a split within the body creating a first free end and a second free end adjacent to the first free end separated by a gap substantially narrower that a diameter of the circular void; c. at least two inner protrusions along the inner perimeter and projecting into the circular void, wherein each inner protrusion has a catch portion, wherein the body is sufficiently flexible and elastic to allow the first free end and the second free end to be moved apart, thereby temporarily widening the gap to allow the item to be inserted; and d. at least two outer protrusions each comprising a catch portion, wherein at least one outer protrusion has a notch into which a tie can be wedged so as to prevent the tie from undesirably falling off of the at least one outer protrusion.
