On the eve of March 8, many are puzzled by the question of what to give to their beloved girlfriend, mother, sister or friend. An excellent solution would be an original handmade gift - for example, from balloons. They are good because they are inexpensive, but at the same time they provide freedom of imagination and creativity, because you can make a lot of them. Well, on women's day, it is best to make a beautiful and bright bouquet. The art of creating figures from balloons - twisting will help you with this.
What you need to make a bouquet of balloons
When starting to make a bouquet of balloons, prepare in advance:
- hand pump;
- 5 balls measuring 10 inches (25.4 cm) or larger;
- 6 balloons measuring 5 inches (12.7 cm);
- 5 green balls, as well as 6 balls of other shades for modeling Q260 (SHDM).
How to make a flower from balloons
Inflate the red balloon, leaving free space (3 cm) at the ends. To tie a ball, wrap the tip around your index and middle fingers, then insert it into the resulting loop and tie. Do the same with the second ball of the same color.
While working, adhere to the main rules: do not inflate the balloon until the end; start twisting from the "neck" of the ball; twist the product in one direction.
Tie the ends of the two balls in a tight double knot to form a ring. Fold the resulting ring in half and twist it 2 times at the fold.
Divide the folded ball into 3 parts, twisting its two parts in two places. Fold the ball into an accordion. Take it with one hand at the twisting points, and twist it in the center with the other hand. You will have a flower.
Now make a stem for it. To do this, inflate the green balloon, leaving some free space at the end. Then, at a distance of 10 cm from the knot, make a fold and twist it in the place where the knot was. This will hide the resulting knot at the curl.
Insert the stem into the center of the flower. If desired, make leaves: take 10 cm in the middle of the stem, twist and straighten the resulting leaves several times.
Decoration of a bouquet of balloons
Take one balloon for modeling, inflate it, leaving the tip 7 cm free. Then step back from the knot 4-5 cm, twist on the leg, and wrap the resulting tail with a knot tightly to the place of twisting. As a result, you will get a small ball.
Connect the ends of the balloon to create a closed circle. Do not forget to calculate the thickness of the desired bouquet in advance. Cut the tip of the ball almost under the knot so that it does not interfere. You will get a kind of "ribbon" for a bouquet of balloons.
Using the various options for "ribbons", you can create unusual compositions.
Fully inflate the second modeling balloon, leaving the small ponytail free. After that, step back 30 cm from the knot and make one large loop. Twist another loop of the same size next to it. Make sure the second tip of the ball is the same length as the first. You should have a bow.
Connect it with the "ribbon", and bend the ends of the bow itself nicely. Insert the balloon flowers into the ribbon with a bow. A bouquet of flowers from balloons is ready!
