How to inflate a surprise balloon?

In fact, it's not that hard. All you need is: one big ball, a lot of small balls, a guide for small balls, a fuse, a wire (two-core copper) and a crown battery.

  1. First you need to inflate small balls. For balls to be the same size, it is best to use a calibrator. Tails in the balls are recommended to cut, because without tails they look more beautiful and fall better. As a guide for small balls, you can take any plastic jar, cut off from both sides.
  2. To give elasticity, a large ball must be inflated several times. Then pull it on the conductor and using a vacuum cleaner we inflate about 70%.
  3. To ensure that the air does not leave the ball, we plug the conductor with a small ball. Next we continue to push small balls inside each other, not allowing the big ball to be blown away. When all the balls are inside, the ball must be blown off and the conductor removed from it. At this stage you can show your imagination and make, for example, a surprise ball with confetti.
  4. Using a pump, inflate the ball to the required size and tie it. We decorate it to your taste with ribbons, bows, beads, etc. A surprise from balloons and confetti is ready!

How to burst a surprise ball?

Explosion of the ball can be performed by means of a sharp "magic" wand or with a fuse. Fuse can be bought in any company that sells fireworks. In order for the fuse to work, it will need the voltage that any battery can give it. So, with transparent tape we glue the fuse to the balloon, connect its free end to the wire, and then connect it to the battery at the right moment. Ba-ah-ah-bah! That's all - the surprise is ready! It can be used both for children's birthday at home and for the holiday of loved ones.
