646 Rosebud

The 646 rosebud is an easy enough shape, but working with the big balloons is trick if you don't do it very often.  Just takes a little practice and the result really makes people say "Wow!"

Daffodil

This particular flower actually started out as my son's attempt to make an airplane propeller.  Not sure how big the plane was going to be, but the project was abandoned soon after the second prop was made.  I decided it made a lovely daffodil and have been using it ever since.

Rosebud

The rosebud is always a favorite.  This version uses 3 lobes, but I often do it with 5 as well.  I like the fuller look.  It can be done with 350s - takes a couple and is a BIG rosebud.  Not as big as with 646s though.  :-)

Happy Flower

A simple smile can really change your day - and brighten even the simplest of balloon flowers!  

Simple Corsage

If you can make a flower, you can make a corsage.  It's a good choice for anyone who wants a balloon flower, but doesn't want to carry it around.

Flower from Hearts

This is a fun flower.  It's very easy to do, the only real twisting is when you divide the center round.  For St. Patrick's day make it in green and you have a lucky 4 leaf clover1

Simple Bouquet with Bow

A simple bouquet doesn't require a bow, but it's a nice addition.  You can use it with any grouping of flowers.  I tend to make bouquets with odd numbers, but that is a personal choice.  

A Flower From Large Hearts

This oversized flower uses 4 large hearts and 5 smaller ones.  It's a great decor item or an impressive delivery piece.  If you do it as a flower for delivery use a 350 of 646 stem.  The look great as wall decor.

Bendy Snake

A bendy snake.  For days when you can't make a spiral for kids who want a longer snake.  

Hearts & Flowers

Hearts & Flowers just go together!  It's an easy enough combination, but if you're just starting out - this is one way we do it.

Woven Rose

The woven rose is always a big hit!  It's also great when made with 160s, they give it a more delicate appearance.  It takes some practice, but it's worth the effort to master this one.  

Large Flower made with 350s

I love 350 and 646 balloons.  They take a little practice to get used to, but the result is worth it.

This flower is made with 2 350s for the flower, a round for the center and a 350 for the stem.  In some ways it's much easier than the normal 6 petal flower - just have to get over your fear of big balloons.  

4 Petal Flower

This is not the best way to make flowers.  It's just one way that people do.
