I've been trying to make some 'google eyes' I've seen a vid on youtube from Michael Floyd :

I just can't do it! Perhaps its that I just can't understand it! Am I missing something? I can't understand how you can break off the balloon on the inside but not on the outside. I suspect I may be missing the point somehow.

By 'Google eyes' I mean small loose coloured bubbles inside large clear balls - which can then be used for Frog's eyes, etc.

Any help on the technique above, or any other way to make them will be most  appreciated.

Henry.

Hello Henry, this technic is a bit difficult, but i'll try to explain it.

You must put the ball in the balloon like in the video. Then with your free hand you take the ball inside the balloon. With your fingernail inside the clear ballon, you cut the balloon. You pull your finger out of the balloon and that's all.
Sorry if my explaination are not very clear, it's isn't easy for me to write in english !

To get a balloon ball or super ball into a 260 I just stretch open the nozzle of the balloon & spit the ball in with my mouth.
Very PC & non hygiene friendly but it does the job while leaving the balloon as long as possible

Another approach is to take either superballs or little balloons balls that you've made yourself by twisting small bubble (260), shoving it inside and twisting it again until it's as heavy as you want it, then breaking off the remaining 260. Make 2 and push them inside uninflated clear 5" round or 6" heart. Inflate the round or heart, split with one ball in each half.
