We will be putting up the tutorial this month for the Wings. A simple design but hopefully one that will be useful to a few.
I will try and add the step by step tutorial tomorrow, these are slightly different designs with the way the multi coloured design is made.

The Wings in White are the ones we will be explaining.

The complimentary packs for October being sent out with every order. I will be explaining the Wings made with the
White and Clear balloons and not the triple colour design that is made slightly differently.

I'm making the wings in Yellow and Blue as I think it will show up easier on the pictures.

Inflate both the Yellow 260's leaving just 2 fingers un-inflated and make a 6 finger bubble followed by a 1.5 finger pinch twist in each balloon.

Tie the nozzle from one balloon around the pinch twist in the other balloon, repeat for the other balloon.

Where the 260 balloon comes out from the pinch twist, tie this 260 to the other pinch twist.

Then do the same for the other 260, make sure both are securely tied around the pinch twists
and you could tie both the ends of the balloon together for extra security.

You should end up with a toilet seat look, he he.

Split the wing, my wing was 12 hands in length so I did a 5.5 hands and a 6.5 hands for the more curved look.
Try a few different lengths to see what you prefer, 5 hands and 7 hands might be a preferred look?

Inflate the Blue 260 leaving 2 fingers un-inflated and tie this together.
Attach this to one of the pinch twists.

Split the Blue 260 in half and attach this twist to the other pinch twist.

Your wings should be looking a little like this.

These are the Wings made in White and Clear that you will receive from the complimentary packs.

I also made the Wings a little different using three colours, these were a 5 hands and 7 hands and you can see the different look.
