Luc Bertrand CBA shows us how to inflate a Qualatex® Mousehead inside a Qualatex Deco Bubble and how to tie Deco Bubbles with confidence.

We all love Qualatex Deco Bubbles. But when it comes to putting a latex balloon inside one, especially shaped balloons such as hearts and the Qualatex Mouseheads, it can be a little daunting the first time that you do it!


Luc Bertrand, one of our leading industry instructors has made this great step-by-step video clip that shows you how to inflate both a Qualatex Mousehead and an 11" round balloon inside a Qualatex Deco Bubble and how to close the balloons and add a little finishing touch!







Here are some great tips when putting a latex balloon inside a Qualatex Deco Bubble.
  • Leave the Deco Bubble inside the packaging until you are ready to use the balloon.
  • Pre-stretch the shaped part on a shaped latex balloons prior to inserting them inside the Deco Bubble.
  • Use a stick or a straw to help you to insert the latex balloon inside the Deco Bubble.
  • Use a tilt, push or trigger valve outlet to inflate the Bubble and then the latex balloon.
  • To close the Bubble Balloon use a scrap of balloon such as a 160Q, and wrap this around the neck of the Bubble a number of times before knotting, make sure that you pull on the 160Q when you are wrapping to ensure that it's nice a tight.
  • By knotting the latex balloon around the ribbon/nylon, it enables us to incorporate the ribbon and helps us to close the Bubble even more.
  • And finally, be confident when you are inflating the Mousehead shape balloons, the head will inflate first and then the ears will pop up one by one.
I don't know about you, but I have found this video very useful as I have yet to actually inflate a Mousehead balloon inside a Qualatex Deco Bubble, but I feel much more confident now and I am looking forward to inflating my first one very soon!

Luc will be visiting the U.S this summer to teach his amazing Corporate Decor & Large-Scale Events class. This is a great opportunity to learn from one of Europe's leading instructors.

Very useful tips here. I don't know why I had never thought of pushing the balloon up to turn it into the perfect position. Thank you for sharing.
