Types of twisting
To get an airy figurine in the form of an animal or flower, a long inflated ball is twisted into bubbles of different lengths and then connected into a lock. Depending on the type of figure, the following types of twisting are distinguished:
- The usual twist is twisting a small bubble on a ball. The size of the bubble is determined and squeezed by hand at this distance, then twisted to one side about 3-4 times. Subsequent bubbles curl in the same direction.
- Twisting with a lock - securing 3 consecutive bubbles into a specific figure. The 2 outermost bubbles are folded at the point of their connection, then twisted around with the next one in the same place 3-4 times.
- Twisting with a lock (another method) . Two bubbles are twisted and the ball is bent at the place of the last twist, the working part is compressed and the next bubble is outlined, and only then is twisted together.
- Twisting with a bend - securing three consecutive bubbles into a figure, where the two outer ones are not twisted, but simply bent. The bubble is twisted, the ball is bent and twisted 2-3 times.
Types of twisting can be practiced on balls before committing to twisting in order to gain manual dexterity skills. Once the twisting technique has been practiced, it will be much easier to understand and follow the instructions for forming shapes.
