I have read lots of references lately to using part of a balloon, tying off and then discarding the rest. How do you do this without uninflating the part you want to get rid of?

• There are a number of ways to do this… some twisters carry scissors just for this purpose (the little tiny Swiss Army Knives with scissors are great for this). Depending on the amount to discard, you can tie a knot first, then cut off the rest (this works well when using only a small portion of the balloon, such as, for eyes). Some people just tear off the extra piece with their finger nail, or with their teeth. Most of the time I will cut off the end, allow the extra portion to deflate, tie it off well, then cut off and discard the rest of the extra portion (the part not needed). Many times these “discarded” pieces can be used for other figures, or portions thereof. • About finger nails, I’ve got a “long” thumb nail and a “long” middle finger nail (right hand) to break off and cut off my balloons.
