Hi Balloontwisters !

I am searching for a elegant and practical way to make two bubbles on each site of a 260 balloon to use it as antena for a butterfly.It should be done with out using your mouth to bring the second bubble to the other end of the balloon.

I inflate the 260 in the middle of the balloon and then the first bubble to one end is no problem, but then bringing the second bubble to the opposite end is hard for me.The bubbles must have the same size.

I hope you can understand what I mean and someone can help me to solve the problem.

Thanks a lot !

After posting my question here, I found out that it is better to inflatre the balloon a bit , NOT in the middle.And then soften the tip on the other site and press the second bubble up !

It works for me.How do you do that ? The same way ?

That's the way I do it.

Then once they are the same size, tie a knot in the middle, to stop the air moveing from end to end, and keep the bubbles the same.
Kind regards

Or you could cut the 260 in half and put a puff of air into both pieces and then tie together
