How to make Pumpkin Balloon Ring


We need one 260s balloon for making any of this pumpkin balloon rings.

Buy balloons on Amazon (paid link): 
 Buy an air pump on Amazon (paid link): 

Twist five or six soft about thumb size bubbles.

It's important to make all bubbles of the same size for the sculpture to look great.


In this example I am going to make five bubbles - the way I like the pumpkin.
Though, you can make the pumpkin with one less or one more bubble.

Lock both ends of the chain of first five bubbles in one lock.

Lock both ends of each bubble in one lock.
You can do it each bubble separately.

Or you can do bubbles in pairs - it's up to you.

The point is to lock ends of all bubbles in one lock - in the middle.

The sculpture should look like a five petals flower.

The rest of the balloon is the tail.

Stretch the end of the balloon a couple times to make it soft.



Squeeze the tail bubble to force the air into the end of the balloon.


Wrap the flat end of the balloon over the middle part of the sculpture to secure the middle lock.



Now wrap the flat end of the balloon over your finger.
Make it comfortable - not too tight!


Congratulations! We have made a pumpkin ring with a funny tail.



You can make the funny tail shorter as you like by wrapping it around the middle of the sculpture.
You can use different color balloons for making flower rings in exactly the same way.


Well, it is Halloween and Thanksgiving season - so orange it is for pumpkin.
Looks great!

And here is an example of a pumpkin ring with six bubbles.


Make sure to lock the middle part.


We can cut off the funny tail if you want.
Move the end of the balloon to the bottom - so it would not protrude out after you cut off the end.

Pull the nozzle of the balloon to cover the middle of the pumpkin.
That is the way it looks better to me.


Have fun and happy balloons :)
