How to do the Time Saving Twist in Balloon Folding

Video Transcript

Hi, this is Jeremy, here on behalf of Expert Village and I'm going to teach you the next twist, that I use. This is more of a handy, saving time, sort of twist, rather than when you use too much in a design, itself. It's called the pinch and break. Now, I've seen people do other versions of it, where all they do is they, make a twist in the balloon, they grab either side, and they just pull, really really fast, to get it to go. Now the problem with this is, it doesn't leave you any area, on either side of the balloon, to tie a knot, so what I prefer, is to go and I make a bubble, where I want the bubble to actually, the size I want it to be. I go a little bit further and I pinch it, with my middle finger and my thumb and I go on the other side and I squeeze a little bit out, of the air, and I pinch again, thumb, middle finger and my two pointer fingers are actually going to rock inside the balloon, as they rock in, you pull it apart. Now suddenly, I have a lot more room, on either side, to be able to tie the balloon. The reason you'd want to use this is sometimes all you want is a fragment this size or you want three fragments, this size, on a design. For example, the princess, with her two arms and her head, was all from one balloon. It makes it a lot easier than trying to use three separate balloons and cutting them off.
