AMENDMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT
OF CTI INDUSTRIES CORPORATION
DATED APRIL 30, 2007

CTI Industries Corporation filed a proxy statement dated April 30, 2007 in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors to be voted at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held at the Holiday Inn Crystal Lake, 800 South Route 31, Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014, on June 22, 2007, 10:00 a.m., Central Standard Time. As stated in the proxy statement, only shareholders of record at the close of business on April 27, 2007 are entitled to vote at the meeting.

This Amendment provides additional and corrected information to that contained in the original proxy statement as filed which will be incorporated in the proxy statement as mailed to shareholders. Due to a clerical error, certain of the figures reported in the Summary Compensation Table in the original proxy statement filed on April 30, 2007 relating to Salary and Total Compensation were incorrect. The table below reports the correct compensation figures.

This Amendment is dated May 7, 2007.
