A recent episode of Balloon Market TV – the popular YouTube channel which is hosted by Balloon Market’s Greg Brown – saw Greg being joined by Rob Driscoll, the Bowtie Balloon Guy, as he demonstrates how to make a lovely Valentine’s Day giraffe, perfect for the romantic gifting market.
In this 30-minute episode, Rob talks Greg through the stages and techniques needed to make what he calls ‘the world’s most romantic animal’; a giraffe holding a heart.
“I’m going to be showcasing a new technique called a raisin twist,” revealed Rob. “It’s a technique that had been around for donkey’s years… it’s got a whole load of different uses and I use it quite a lot!”
The balloon sculptures themselves can be made well in advance of Valentine’s Day itself, making them perfect for advance orders and deliveries.
