From: LTalip@aol.com Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 18:25:55 EDT Subject: Help w/SDS Flex Frame Swans! To: balloondeco@balloonhq.com We are attempting to make the SDS Flex Frame Swans as featured in the Nov/Dec '99 Images. Has anyone out there made these before and could help answer a few questions? Did you connect the wings to the body before or after you filled the cells w/latex? How did you connect the wings and body together -- cable ties -- mono? Did you place the garland on the rod for the neck and then secure it to a base hidden inside the swans body for support? Also, our base of the body doesn't have five openings for balloons straight across as shown in the picture if we connect at right angles as indicated in the instructions. We are tossing around the idea of covering the flex frame with adhesive spray and sprinkling glitter or irridescent cracked ice to make it glimmer a bit. The wedding is 7/29/00 and any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Lisa Talip, CBA A Balloon Creation Aurora, IL
