My favorite balloons to twist
Giant balloons
Anniversary heart

Big heart balloon
We got to spend the weekend with our nephew and niece, and we put together this humungous heart for their parents’ anniversary! It was fun building the heart balloon together! Happy anniversary A&A! 🙂
I’ve made this one before, but this time we made it red with a pink border, which my niece picked. Check out the very talented Sue Bowler’s instructions for how to make this!

Happy halloween! This giant pumpkin balloon was made for a Fall Harvest Party. Afterwards, I fixed the popped balloons and it sat in my living room for a week and was used as a pumpkin playhouse! I removed one balloon in the back so our playhouse could have a window.
Big heart

Big heart
Happy Birthday to my friend, Carmen! Now you’ve got two big hearts!
Check out Sue Bowler’s instructions for how to make this. It took me about 2 hours. You’ll use 79 Quick Links/Link-O-Loons and 78 5″ balloons. I inflated the balloons to 7″ and 9″, and the resulting heart was humongous (though I was still able to squeeze the balloon into our SUV for transport.)
Raspberry (wearable costume)

Raspberry (wearable costume)
This wearable raspberry balloon is probably the largest balloon I’ve made (besides the organic balloon arch.) I listed it under “hard” for difficulty, but it’s mostly more time-consuming than hard.
I used 186 balloons, mostly link-o-loons and round balloons. There are 6 horizontal chains and 8 vertical chains of link-o-loons. I added two 260 segments inside for handlebars.
Happy birthday Kirsten!
