Loop the flat end of the balloon around your fingers. Lock the nozzle end of the balloon between bubbles of the sculpture.

Congratulation! We have made daisy flower of one balloon. We can use it as it is, as a bracelet or as a ring.
The flower looks good on a stem. I am going to use a green plastic straw (from Starbucks will do) for the stem.
Force one end of the straw between bubbles of the sculpture.
Congratulations again! We have made one balloon daisy.
Have fun and happy twisting :)
This is so lovely. Balloons are quite delicate to handle. Your easy step by step tutorial has made it fun to create different things with balloon. Kids will love this craft.
