Hi i have been ask to do a life boat.
I was going to use a flat weave,but how do you go along like planks of wood?
My weave,with the balloon horizontal, goes down and not along.
Hope this makes sense
If you can point me in the right direction,thanks wizzz

May try this from another forum.


make several rods or beams of longer bubble - two pinchtwists - longer bubble - two pinchtwist and so on. Then connect the beams (boards of the floor) using another ballon with small bubbles between pinchtwist. Pinchtwists helps to hold the beams straight. Like this:

| | |
()o()o()
| | |
| | |
()o()o()
| | |

where () means the two pinchtwists, o means the little bubble and the two | under each other means the longer bubble of the beam.

How big does your boat need to be?

If you do a search on here a few things come up which may help. I remember three people posting wearable boats, Krazy Kev, Amanda & Thelma and there are a few smaller ones.
On my portfolio page of my website there is a small boat/ship.

Here's a thread with several wearable size boats. Very fun! http://balloonchat.co.uk/pirate-ship-t96.html?hilit=ship

Hi Lisa i would like the boat to be about the size of Krazy Kev's but not as a wearable.
I was going to make the front end of the boat,a triangle shape(pointed front),then smaller triangles underneath to get the bow.
The Stern done similar then hopefully join the two halfs!
Thanks for the help Wizzz
