Balloon Training Online - Small Air Filled Balloon Character

The small air-filled balloon character is the 2nd display that we teach on our balloon training course. It looks a lot more complicated than it actually is and we find it's a fantastic confidence booster which only takes a few minutes to complete.


Our Small Balloon Character




The feet are simply a quad (4 balloons) inflated with air to 9 inches (we use 11 inch balloons and find that by under-inflating them they are unlikely to burst if they catch anything on the floor or table). The pink body is a link-balloon with an 11 inch 'smiley face' balloon tied to the top. Finally, a small quad (5 inch balloons inflated to 4 inches) is used as the neck. We usually use a single 260Q modelling balloon to make the 2 arms and there is a pull-bow tied into the neck for decoration.

There are 2 things I really love about this display: Firstly, it is very cheap to make at less than a pound and secondly can be used for several occasions. If you look below we made a Christmas display by simply changing the colours and the head. We make little Dracula characters for Halloween etc. They are actually quite big for a 'small' display and completely air filled and therefore, the customer gets a lot of value for their money.
