My favorite flower vase is made with 4 balloons of one color which will make the basket and the stems for the flowers. Then you need the tops...4 more balloons in what ever color you want.
It starts like a weave.
balloon 1 (b-1) half inch bubble, then 4 in. bubble.
b-2 half inch bubble, attatch at end of b-1's 4 inch. then a 4 inch bubble
b-3 same as above, attaching to b-2
b-4 same as above, attaching to b-3, then attatch to b-1's half inch bubble
You now have a circle.
b-1 Make a half in. bubble and a 3 in. bubble which then will attatch to b-2 after it's half inch bubble. Repeat around with last one pulling thru to complet the circle.
next round is the same but I make the long bubble a little smaller still.
next (and last) round is the same also but I go back to the 4 in. because this will be the base and it will stand up better.
Now pull all the long left overs thru the middle and out the top. Attatch flower tops in standard manner.
It is fairly fast and not to hard. I hope I discribed it well enough. If not, let me know and I will try again.
