Balls for modeling (popularly known as "sausages") allow you to decorate a children's party with bright funny figures and bring animation to the entertainment program. An exciting competition for making latex animals and bouquets can be organized for adults and children. In order not to complicate the task for yourself, it is recommended to inflate long balloons using a pump. As a last resort, try to do this without special tools.
It is necessary
- - a set of long balls;
- - pump;
- - water.
Instructions
Step 1
Buy a set of long balloons and a special pump to inflate them. If children are growing up in the house and you like to make original gifts, then this device will help you out more than once. With a certain skill, you can use it to inflate both round balloons and more intricate rubber shapes. However, you can also use a bicycle pump and nipple cap to inflate the balls.
Step 2
Grab the long ball by the top and neck, then stretch it well several times. Then gently knead the product in your hands, taking care not to damage the thin surface.
Step 3
Don't inflate the balloon too quickly. The longer and thicker it is, the more frequent the piston movements can be. Please note: for the subsequent modeling of rubber figures, it is necessary to leave a small non-inflated "tail" (10-15 centimeters in length). Then, when twisting the product, there will be free space for air, and the ball will not burst.
Step 4
Try inflating a long balloon without a pump. You will need a lot more effort to do this. You can pre-fill the "sausage" with water from the tap, then release the liquid - the latex will become softer and more pliable. Then slightly inflate the balloon and deflate, then stretch and knead the latex.
Step 5
Count about five centimeters from the neck of the product and pinch the rest (starting from the top) so that air flows only into the free space. Inflate the balloon, gradually intercepting and pinching its short sections. In this case, you should carefully stretch the product with a movement away from you.
Step 6
Release a small amount of air from the inflated balloon - then you can easily tie the neck into a strong knot, and the future festive decoration will not burst.
