I made a little balloon rose from 160s, inflated a clear 260 and tried to stuff the rose into the 260. My initial attempt failed as the 260 got so worn out it just popped. The problem is that when I pushed the rose into the end of the clear balloon the clear 260 just gave way and it pushed air into the uninflated part. I have the same issue all the time when I do a marriage twist for teddy bears noses. Am I missing something? Is it something as simple as hold the uninflated part so the air cant escape?

Just at grahams checkout with an order for 'Its quicker by tube'. Just the thing I need perhaps!!!

Thelma and I like to think that is an excellent DVD for putting real flowers inside a balloon, you may want to look at "A Romantic Twist"
as that explains the technique you are mentioning above.
Or how about buying the full set    There is a special offer on that.

Thanks Graham, I really don't think I can afford to spend any more money with you for the foreseeable future. I dread to think how much money I have spend with you!!! I only started out with balloons a few weeks ago too. With your DVDs and this forum however I don't thinkI'm off to a bad start! I am going to ask people to visit your sales site at christmas for me though!!

I'm almost sure cody Williams does it in a video on YouTube it's a tutorial of Bella.
