A GEO Blossom® balloon attached to a 260Q balloon makes a clever, long-lasting balloon flower. Perfect for customers of all ages, these flowers can be sold alone or included in baskets, bags, and other gift anchors. Hand them out as thank-yous to walk-in customers, use them to create a garden window display, and have the Easter Bunny hand them out at the mall!

Ingredients: 1 6" GEO Blossom® Latex Balloon 2 5" Round Latex Balloons 1 260Q Latex Balloon Qualatex® Hand Air Inflator

Preparation:

1) Fully inflate a 260Q, let just a little air out to soften it, then tie.

2) Find the center of the 260Q and twist.

3) Fold the balloon in half at the twist, measure 5", and twist again.

4) Pinch the two twists together to make two loops.

5) Grasp a loop in each hand, and twist in opposite directions to make the "leaves."

6) Twist the two 260Q sections around each other for the stem of the flower. Secure the sections by twisting them together about 1" from the bottom.

7) Air inflate one 5" balloon, and pull its neck through the hole in the uninflated GEO Blossom balloon.

8) Air inflate the second 5" balloon to the same size, and tie the two 5" balloons together.

9) Air inflate the GEO Blossom balloon, and knot.

10) Attach the GEO Blossom balloon to the 260Q by placing it between the 260Q leaves, pulling down the neck, and stretching it around the leaves to secure.
