Okay, I was able to make the first petal, but now I don't know how to make the other two without having the ballon explode on my face! And if it didn't explode, I still don't how to do the rest of the petals
Also, the bunny, I can only make the face and the ears, but the body isn't coming otu! >____< *sad*

I will do you up some video tutorials ...
with the petals it sounds like you are putting in too much air in the balloon ...

Very nice touch!
I would ask if I could use it ... but first I would have to learn how to sing

a positive attitude is the most important thing when it comes to balloon sculpting ...
well that and confidence ...
and a good pump ...
oh quality balloons are good too ...
(I get the feeling this is turning into a monty python sketch ... it is either from the Spanish Inquisition or a case of what did the romans ever do for us )
steady hands are useful ...
always twist the balloon in the same direction to stop the bubbles jun twisting ...

hehe nothing wrong with a bit of Monty Python thrown in Thanks for the tips...now to find a place around here that sells balloons (other than the round kind), that could prove to be difficult, might have to resort to shopping online!

Do you have any dollar stores where you are?
perhaps a party shop nearby?
they often do basic supplies ...

wow great tutorial. All these pictures are very helpfull. If I can get over my fear of bursting ballons, I'll try the heart and the flower The snake is cute too! Maybe you have an easy way to make a cat? I think that would motivate me

mrballoonatic In reply to Miriel133 [2009-09-08 19:15:06 +0000 UTC]
I didn't put my snake on it cos it requires 3 balloons minimum but I will make up cards for a cat, monkey, butterfly, giraffe and dachshund soon

most party shops have them and some dollar stores will carry them ...
but the ones from the dollar stores are more likely to go pop
