Balloon Chit Chat / double stuff
February 06, 2013, 11:35:50 AM
Hi,

If you are planning to make costumes or outfits eg Dresses etc.... do you need to double stuff the balloons you
use or is it mainly for colour variations??

If perhaps someone can shed some light on stuffing and when you should use this,please explain to me!!

Thanks

Balloon Chit Chat / balloon supplier
December 09, 2010, 05:08:30 PM
Hi, I was using my current supplier for 2 yrs who were usually good but for the past 3 months have messed up my order, sent me the wrong order and basically cause me stress!! The other day I had to make a custom princess and my supplier let me down again when our very own graham lee stepped in and shipped out the balloons I needed.mmmmmmm I thought great service. I then spoke with graham and realised his pricing was the same as what I was paying and sent him a small top up order, to be honest I ordered some difficult products to test how good a supplier change would be and he got me it all and it came the following day of placing my order!
Graham you are now my chosen supplier and am happy u are now having my business.
Much love

Hi,

I am planning to build a 20 ft vulcan bomber for the b`mouth airshow...............yes im excited to do it but need
some tips from the pros:)

I have built a plane before but the colours were not as complex and the wings were more like
the weaved wings on Mr Grist Bi Plane.

I know how i will make the main frame of the plane and will use 350`s all the way and use the 6 balloon
pineapple weave but im not sure for the wings or if i can achieve the colour scheme without using markers.........

Any tips would be greatly appreciated but understand that its summer and most of u are busy at work

Thanks in advance

Hi,


I am working at a promotional event where there will be magicians ,stilt walkers,jugglers, pick pockets etc themed "1001 magical nights"

I will be working there  and was going to try and create some sculptures (which i will make in  a corner) and then i will mix and mingle.

Has anyone ever made stuff themed to this.............. i was thinking camel,tent,turbans,genie,monkeys,palm trees but have not made many of these apart from several monkeys...........any ideas suggestions pictures would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
