I've just had a quick look on the internet (and please note Google does not want to be my friend  :( ) but can only seem to find it for sale in the US and due to the value I am sure good old Royal Mail will stiff me for VAT and admin fees   :evil:

Web links would be appreciated if anyone can help.

there are a few balloon twisting dvd's on ebay at the moment, i am sure the same person was selling oodles at one point. they keep being relisted so perhaps they dodnt sell it or dont have it? worth a question to them?

That is the only one that I've found too! I will have a quick look and maybe send them a message.  If not I'll order it from the states just concerned about getting stung for VAT and admin as it will cost me more than the DVD!

I would suggest getting in touch with Robbie directly, I'm sure he will send one over for you. If you need his contact details I will sort them out tomorrow for you when back from the care & share day.

I bought a few of his dvds direct from Robbie, he can take a while sorting it out, but will get it sorted in the end. You can contact him through his website - http://www.balloonsbyrobbie.com

 You can also get it from tmyers although their shipping costs to the UK are a little steep.

If you struggle to get it then let me know, as I do buy from the states quite often and may be able to add it to one of my orders and split postage if it helps.

Hi Yvonne, if you want to drive quite a way for a coffee, we can watch them all together!
Lootles is quite possibly the best commercial dvd that has affected my work on a job.

I ended up buying it off Aerodeco and have made quite a few of them already. I made the bride & groom the other day and already I've had a request for a pair. Just trying to find the time to make this stuff.

My only criticism of the DVD (and it is minor compared to how much I love it) is that on the front is a picture of a Lootle wearing glasses but there is no instructions as to how to make them! I really need to work that one out as my avatar me looks like she is wearing eyeliner not glasses  ;)

Pipe cleaners inside a 260 works for me.

Tried that and failed miserably. Obviously not technical enough  ;)

Hi Yvonne,

As Roger says, pipe cleaners in 260's are great, florists wire is also good. That is what I used for the glasses on Harry Hill.

For dark glasses, I use two bubbles tied in the middle of a balloon for the lenses, and the uninflated at each end, tied round the ears, as the side arms. That is what I used on Ozzy Ozbourne.
Kind regards
Kevin

I will try florists wire then because the pipe cleaners aren't long enough - well the ones I have aren't.
