I want to add glitter to a qualatex bubble. Is it best to do it before or after it is inflated?

At a guess and it is a guess, after as the bubble will stretch a lot when inflated.

I do foils after but never tried a bubble.

as Graham said after as they stretch I find it best to do foils before as it is a lot easier to do them flat.
When it comes to the day I arive at the pearly gates I hope to slide in sideways saying to st Peter WOW!!! what a ride.

If your wanting it inside...

Ive not tried with the bubble balloons but When I need glitter on my balloons I put it inside the balloon but I usually put some High Float in first and then squish it all around (Hi-Float and glitter) then inflate. I would imagine you could do the same with a bubble, But thats just a guess concerning the bubble brand. Hope this helps a bit!!

It is for my siters wedding I intend to pick out a butterfly on one of the qualatex bubbles in blue glitter.

Hi yes I do the butterflies in glitter and I fully inflate the bubble then pick out a couple of butterflies and go over them with the glue pen then sprinkle the glitter. This makes a big difference to the balloon.

I do the same.. after it is inflated

if you dont want to use just glitter use the feather/glitter butterflies
