Blowing Up a Balloon
Mouth vs pump — and why pumps are the better choice for your health.
Tying a Knot
An often used way to keep air inside the balloon.
Loop Twist
The most simple twist — just loop, twist, and it locks into place.
Lock Twist
Bubbles don't stay put unless locked. Friction holds it all in place.
Pinch Twist
A very short loop twist — great for ears, hands, and changing direction.
3 Bubble Birdbody
One bubble for the body, two for the wings — but with many more applications.
Apple / Tulip Twist
For apples, tulips, pig noses, gun barrels — and a great way to hide a knot.
Ball from a Balloon
Neat for making eyes — or super bullets!
Pinch and Pop Series
Pop the balloon after a pinch twist and the rest stays in place. Great for separating arms.
Tearing a Balloon Apart
Fast and surprisingly easy — the force is in your mind, not your arms.
Eye
It's fun watching the look on people's faces when you say the eyes are made of balloons.
Art Twist
Arthur Tivoli's faster alternative to the raisin twist — no preparation needed.
Raisin Twist
Create an attachment point where there isn't one — the classic solution.
Side Bubble
An attachment point on 260Q balloons where an art twist isn't possible.
