Will be adding approx 16 instructions for explaining varying twists etc for balloon twisting.
This one was taken from some lecture notes that were written a couple of years ago.
If you put more balloon onto the pump before inflating this will give you more balloon to
play with & tie so hopefully making it easier for you.

Thanks Graham for all those wonderful tutorials. Is there a chance to get those lecture notes in printed form?

These were taken from my very first set of lecture notes, which may still be on my computer somewhere.
Will have a look and may possibly post the rest onto the forum.

Hi is there any little gadget that I could use to for tying balloons as after about 2 hours on a job my fingers are really sore. Thanks. Lisa

There is a balloon tool that I believe decorators use, and I use it when making big stuff at home, but for line work it really does slow you down. I have to confess that after I had a busy weekend, then done a big display my fingers were raw, so I did use it the next day for the next gig. But normally over time your fingers do get used to it.

Here's the tool I used

Hope that helps

You can also set up 3 nails/screws onto a small block of wood to do the same job.
