I made these two Ken Stillman "Awesome Bouquets" this afternoon, ready to be wrapped and collected in the morning.

If anyone else is making them, and I have made loads (Thanks Ken  :D ) I have found the best bottle to use for them is a Robinsons Fruit Shoot bottle. They are an ideal size, and the pull up bit you drink from is a perfect size for the 260 to attach to, and the slight lip on the bottle holds the balloon secure.

They were for a company that has 2 ladies going on maternity leave, who don't know if they are having boys or girls, hence the colours. I had loads of yellow scraps left over from a load of spongebobs I did on the weekend, so used those for the flower centres. I think that looks nicer than the green stem being used for the middle.
Kind regards

Very nice Kevin, and I agree about the green centers for flowers.  I would rather have no center than a green one.

I have been playing with, Ken Stillman "Awesome Bouquets". but having a problem with vase balloons not lasting, always going soft. but second image shows how versatile the design is, excuse mess in workshop.

It is such a versatile design Ali, and I love the black and white one of yours.

I make mine with the flowers pointing forward, rather than upward, and don't seem to have any problem with the vase.

I make the vase with 6 loops, and use one 260 for 2 loops, 3 260s in total for the vase
Kind regards

WOW....These really are popular  :D

After posting these two on facebook, I had another order come in which I made this morning.

I put the picture up on facebook again (love it or hate it, facebook is where I get most of my work from) and within 20 mins I had an order for one for Saturday !!
Kind regards
