Stretch Clendennen

Hello, and welcome to my balloon twisting channel where you can learn how to make some fun creations out of balloons. I've been twisting balloons into fun shapes since 1989, and I've traveled the US teaching other balloon artists how to make balloon animals at conventions and seminars like Twist & Shout, Summer Balloon Camp and more. I love to twist balloons into art, and I also love sharing that art and how to do it with others. Whether you're a beginner twisting basic balloon designs, or and advanced twister creating fancy balloon sculptures, there is something here for you. I hope you enjoy my videos and use what to learn to have fun, make others happy, and even make money if you twist balloons for pay. Please subscribe to my channel and don't forget to like, share, click the bell for notifications, and comment on my videos. Thanks, and stay twisted!

    Yes, but the handle wouldn't be as sturdy and would flex more when the child was swinging it. You could make a mini-hammer with a 260 and a 5" round.

    As a beginner I heard your explanation but it would be nice to show how you inflate the spiral snake. Hand pump or electric pump what are you using? Where is the nozzle end? To see how exactly you do your spiral while inflating would be most helpful. I couldn’t hold the balloon and pump at the same time.

  • @balloondude19
    @balloondude192 ай бұрын

    Prior to COVID I mouth inflated all my balloons, but I started using a battery powered pump after things started picking back up to put people at ease about the spread of diseases. I spiral the balloon around my finger starting at the tip and ending with the nozzle. I currently don't have a video that demonstrates this, but I will consider making one posting it to my channel.

    Hi Stretch, Yes I am struggling here. I had a false sense it would work as shown as the first one went fine, but now I cant get the jacket to stay on., It starts to roll down the tube until it rolls off. I have tried stopping it and pulling it back up but it seems either the black is trying to squeeze out. It is like reverse condom making and 12 of my precisou 646s are rolled off on the floor. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks!

  • @balloondude19
    @balloondude197 ай бұрын

    Are you using clear 350s or 360s? The 350s are slightly larger in diameter and the increased size can cause the 646 the roll up issue you are experiencing, especially if you roll it up just the slightest bit too far over the clear. Once it starts, it's almost impossible to stop. It can also be an issue if the clear is a bit too soft. Squeeze the clear from the end you are tying to make it tighter when you tie the knot, and that can help too. Hopefully, this helps. Happy Twisting!

  • @Thatsmessedupman
    @Thatsmessedupman7 ай бұрын

    @@balloondude19 I was out of clear and was going to superimpose an image in the ends so I was using black Gemar 350s and Brown Qual 646s. The point here is I made ONE but could not get the skin to stay on after 12 more tries. So if one worked I am not sure why the rest would not stay on. I would say they were tight but maybe it stretched a little which would soften. But i was able to do it with Black 646 that were starting to get "that smell" and white Sempertex 360. Do you think the clear are more CLINGY?
