Tvisting: how to make figures of balloons?

Tvisting — this art of creation of various figures from balloons. You for certain saw more than once how dexterously and quickly masters of a tvisting at street fair twist from a long balloon - "sausage" of amusing animals: doggies, rabbits, tigers etc. You too can learn it: the tvisting will be easily mastered by both adults, and children.

For a tvisting it is required, depending on a figure, one or several balloons of an oblong form. Spheres should be inflated not up to the end, differently from excessive pressure they can burst: having inflated a balloon to necessary length, it is necessary to lower air a little.

The main method of a tvisting — this twisting (actually, it also means the word "tvisting"). Twisting needs to be begun surely from balloon "neck" — then air in process of twisting of a sphere will "force the way" to sphere "tail" where there was an empty seat (after all the sphere is inflated not up to the end).

It is necessary to twist a balloon surely in one direction, all movements are made by one hand — this basic rule of a tvisting. The movement of turn and a zaruchivaniye of a sphere is called as twist, the mumpish part of a sphere between two skrutka is called as a bubble, and a place to twist — a joint. The special bubble in the tail of a mumpish ball is called as a padded stool.

The sizes of bubbles can be allocated such:

• the small – 2,5 cm
• average – 3,75 - 5 cm
• the big – 5 - 7,5 cm

The Tvisting is carried out by means of several main receptions. Reception "simple twist" is carried out by scrolling of part of a balloon round its pivot-center several times. The received bubble cannot be released, differently twist will be untwisted.

If by means of simple twist to win three bubbles a contract (i.e. consistently to twist three parts of a balloon), and then, having put the second and third bubbles, to overwind them several times round joints of the first and third bubbles, reception "lock" will turn out. Bubbles will not be untwisted.

From three bubbles of the different size from which the smallest is in the center, "ear" turns out: it is necessary to put the first and third bubbles, and index and a thumb of a free hand to overwind an average bubble several times.

"Twist with an excess" is carried out so: to make three bubbles average of which — big, and then holding together the first and third bubbles, it is necessary to pull slightly for an average bubble, to put it in half and to overwind several times.

Reception is more difficult — it is "tulip". For performance to this twist it is necessary to push by means of a forefinger of a free hand balloon mouth knot inside (approximately on a half of finger), the second hand to grasp mouth knot through a sphere, then carefully to release a finger and to make twist. The bud of "tulip" turned out.

Having mastered the main receptions of a tvisting, you can make the first tvisting-figure. For example, by means of only one reception "lock" it is possible to receive a lovely doggie!

How to make a doggie of a ball?

That to make a doggie of a ball, it is necessary to take an air ball sausage and to inflate it, having left not inflated about 15 cm "tail".

Further it is necessary to twist 3 small bubbles in a row. By means of reception to connect "lock" 2 and the 3rd bubbles — turned out ears of a doggie.

Further it is necessary to twist 1 small bubble — it is a neck of a doggie. Then 2 more bubbles of average length are twisted — these are forepaws of a doggie.

The received three bubbles connect reception "lock".

Further it is necessary to twist 1 big bubble — it will be a body of a doggie. Then 2 more bubbles of average length — hinder legs of a doggie are twisted.

The received three bubbles connect reception "lock" again.

Tvisting — cheerful and fascinating occupation, and the received amusing figures can become decoration of a children's holiday, an excellent gift. Try a tvisting and present yourself the sea of a positive!
