Hi,

Once I saw, that somebody making a balloon dress two 260Q balloons (I think) were placed in each other, and so inflated. I think to do not pop or to last longer.

I tryed this but without success: I inflated the inner ballonn, but either the outer or both popped before tying.

Is any trick there to inflate and twist such a double-balloon?

thnaks,
Leslie

Hi Leslie. Practice is important and making sure the balloons are moving with each other as you twist. Often one will bunch up where the other doesn't and their tails end up being different lengths too.

It's much easier to start off with a 160 inside a 260, especially a clear 260, and practice with them for a while to see what goes on and how it feels.

For dual 260's, gently inflate the out 260 and deflate, to allow it to be bigger and easier to work with as well.\

But, overall, practice practice practice...


Does that help?

Thanks Charles! Yes, that helps!

It seems, that it works, when I inflate the outer balloon fully, then let it deflate. After that I place the inner balloon into the outer and then inflate only the inner.
This technique works for 160 inner - 260 outer and for 260 inner - 260 outer.

Now I have several double-balloon bears and a tiger - will see how long not deflates...

Thanks Charles!

Wow!! used to love doing clear 260 outer coloured inner balloon animals - used to get such an arwww how does she do that...Not done it for a while may pick it up again, thanks for bringing the topic up... Pam xx

Well, and when we use darker color inside, we can do several shadings or mix new colors.
For example we can buy light and dark pink, but using blue or black within either pink, we have mixed the very dark pink...
