A lot of people have a problem with making the petals. I even get pops when I'm making the flower or soon after. Try working with 160's if your hands are small and your having a hard time. Doing the 6 petals with a 160 is much easer and its a good way to get the twist down before moving on to 260's. Flower
I still get a petal that pops from time to time. If you can use 160 balloons they are easer to twist and do not pop as much. If not just let more air out and that should work. A good tip for new twisters is not to try and make 6 petals but to do 4. This is done by twisting the balloon in the center and not in to thirds.
I had a question from a twister on this balloon flower. The problem is one of the petals kept popping after the flower was made. To fix this you have to let more air out of the balloon that is used for the petals. The softer the balloons is at the start the less pops you will have. Also this is a hard twist to master but if you start with a 160 for the flower top you will get the idea much faster and then work your way up to using 260 balloons.
I had some friends here in Bangkok from the States. Now I am working on putting all the videos on line for a down load. There was just too much to fit on a dvd or 3 dvds for that matter. Coming soon......
I have 101 different balloon twisting videos. I am putting together a DVD. There will also be marketing tips on how to find wrk as a twister as well as clip of all the different kinds of twists. The DVD should be ready by the end of the year 2007. Please E-mail me if you are interested in a copy. Flower
I worked at a balloon decor company, & this is the way my boss made his. I do mine differently. See my vid, "Balloon Flower", for details. Both concepts look nice, but my way takes more time.
NO! do not buy balloons from non-balloon stores they are cheap and old which means they will "pop". I use Qualatex balloons which have a date code on the bag you should check. Don't buy balloons (260's) that are older then 18 months. The code is near the UPCode and it is 5 numbers. Example "00109" the 001 is the day of the year and the 09 the year, so 00109 is new years day of 2009
@LaurenContreras11 OMG! Don't buy balloons from a big box store. A balloon shop at times is ok but your best to get them on-line. Tmyers.com is good but do a search and there are many other places.
@FlowerClown im just afraid of dong that in front of ppl, and then look like a fool cuz i popped them.... idk im just sensitive on humiliation i guess XD
I JUST started balloon twisting and by far, Flower Clown presents the best instructions. Thanks for making this fun and easy!
I had to come back and watch this one again! It is one of my favorite RUclips videos:)
This was a very good video you are very articulate and explained the steps including the measurements very well.

Bravo... Felicitaciones
lindo, adorei, e vou tentar fazer....
I could be the balloons but you should also let some extra air out before to tie the balloon.
@nedonfunnies The key is to let more air out and make the balloon soft. I still get pops from time to time.
thank you sooooooo much I'm now my kids hero our party's just got better
You said nipple.

just started. how do I tie the ends together?? is there some simple twist knot?
when i squeeze the balloon (6 sections) and when i am about to twist it it pops.. is it because of me or is it because of balloons?
man, im always scared they will pop when i make that many pedals... i usually only do three... :/
I don't know. You will have to try it.
Wow, Thanks
