Antes de comenzar: asegúrese de que todas las personas que realizan esta especialidad no tengan alergias al látex o sean demasiado sensibles al sonido. No todo el mundo puede soportar los sonidos de los globos y algunos con ansiedad no pueden soportar la idea de que un globo explote. Como siempre, tenga en cuenta las necesidades de los Conquistadores de su grupo.

Repasar las reglas básicas de seguridad al trabajar con globos.

• Do not bite the balloon. When it pops, a piece can go in your throat and choke you. A piece of latex can block the airway and is almost impossible to get out in time.
• Do not force your lungs to inflate a balloon. If they are not strong enough, you can damage your lungs. It is best for beginners to use a pump. Do not feel bad if you can not use your lungs. Most balloon sculptors use pumps.
• Never give a balloon to little kids that are still putting things in their mouth, as it may pop and hurt the kid as mentioned before.
• Before giving a balloon to someone, make sure they do not have an allergy to latex.

Descubrir y demostrar cómo se debe preparar las manos antes de manipular globos.

• Make sure your fingernails are not too long, as they can rip the balloon.
• Trim up any breaks in your fingernails, as they can rip a hole in the balloon.
• Remove any dead skin hanging off around the fingernail.
• Sand your fingernails so they are round and smooth.

No tenga miedo de que el globo explote. En la globoflexia, los globos se revientan todo el tiempo. Los globos revientan por toda clase de razones. ¿Qué son algunas de ellas?

• Sharp fingernails
• Over twisted
• Not enough tail on the balloon
• Old balloons
• Flaw in the latex
• Static electricity
• Sudden changes in barometric pressure

Aprender a inflar un globo.

1. Stretch your balloon first.
2. Use a balloon pump to inflate your balloon.
3. After inflating the balloon, let a little air back out.
4. Do not inflate the balloon all the way. Leave a tail about 4 to 6 inches long. The more twist you use in your sculpture, the more tail you will need.

7

Aprender a amarrar un globo.

1. Pull the neck of the balloon around your first two fingers.
2. Push the lip of the balloon between your fingers and under the balloon already wrapped around your fingers.
3. Pull on the lip of the balloon to pull it tight.

Acostumbrarse a los sonidos del globo. Cuando esté manipulando globos, hará muchos sonidos extraños y no debe tener miedo de ellos. Adelante, puede hacer algunos sonidos extraños con un globo.

• Take the balloon and rub your hands up and down the balloon. Listen to the sound it makes to get used to them.
• Pop a Balloon to get used to the bang so you know it is ok. It is just sound. If you need to, pop more than one. If you have sensitive ears you may want earplugs.

Repasar las reglas para los giros.

• Twists must be twisted in the same direction.
• Each twist needs to be twisted a minimum 3 and no more than 5 times.
• If you let go before using a lock twist, it will come untwisted.
• Never pinch the balloon with the tips of your fingers. Use the sides of your fingers. Fingernails will pop balloons.

Aprender y practicar los giros básicos.

10a

Pellizco básico

Hold the balloon in your left hand. Pinch the balloon with your thumb and index finger and twist with your right hand. Twist 3 times. Do not let go! If you pinch the knot end between your 4th finger and your palm, you can slide your left hand down the balloon and make more twists. Make sure all your twists go the same direction or it will untwist. As long as you hold the knot end against your palm, you can make the chain as long as you have balloon to twist.

10b

Giro de bloqueo

When you have 3 basic twists in a row, you can twist the 2nd & 3rd bubbles to gather to lock them. Without a lock twist, all your twists will untwist when letting go.

10c

Giro de oreja

Take a bubble and fold it over and twist it.

10d

Cuerpo del pájaro

After a lock twist, make a basic pinch twist to make a new bubble about the same size as the bubbles in a lock twist. Lay the new bubble along between the 2nd & 3rd bubble. Using both hands, roll the 2nd & 3rd bubbles over the new bubble.
