A device for facilitating the attachment of decorative objects to an outer surface of a balloon comprises a plate-like base member, a first plate-like side wall member rigidly attached to the base member and oriented substantially perpendicularly thereto, and a second plate-like side wall member opposable to the first plate-like side wall member. Hinges pivotably secure the second plate-like side wall member to the base member so that the second plate-like side wall member can pivot from an open position for loading and unloading to a closed position wherein the second plate-like side wall member is opposed and substantially parallel to the first plate-like side wall member. A plurality of rods attached at one end to the first plate-like side wall member extend substantially parallel to the base member and to each other and cooperate with the base member, the first side wall member and the second side wall member to hold the balloon in the device. The rods define a minimum distance between the first plate-like side wall member and the second plate-like side wall member and also define at least one window to enable attachment of ornaments to the outer surface of the balloon upon a disposition of the balloon in the device. An elastic member is provided for temporarily locking the second plate-like side wall member in the closed position.
