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 ...

mrballoonatic In reply to DomiSM [2009-09-08 23:35:17 +0000 UTC]

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!

mrballoonatic In reply to DomiSM [2009-09-10 13:42:54 +0000 UTC]

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

That sounds great! I'm totally excited to see these tutorials. And I think I'll buy some balloons... Just have to find a shop.

mrballoonatic In reply to Miriel133 [2009-09-08 19:40:17 +0000 UTC]

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
