Hi Dave,

Here are a few Ideas I hope you will find Helpful  :D

Each uses 1 1/2 Balloons, so hope that's OK !!!!!

1 5" round and half a 160 for the Snowman

1 260 red and half a 260 white for Santa

In an ideal world the end bit of the red for his hat should be marriage twisted into the white, but sometimes if you are rushed it is easier to use 2 pinch twists, and it is also less inclined to come undone

Dave if you hit the search button and put christmas balloons there are 90 odd pages to look at, there must be some quick and easy balloons there.
Check out the Ed Chee pictures I posted in the gallery section, he had a great 2 balloon hat which I think may be similar to one that was made in Manchester.
Oh yes check out the Manchester day in October 2012 as well as there were a few christmas designs made that day as well.

Dave, I am working on a Christmas menu for line work and will start posting pics this week.  Everything will take less than two minutes to make.  I do not advise searching through the old pics, I spent over three hours going through pages and pages of past posts.  Got a lot of great ideas for delivery and display pieces but didn't add much to my menu.
