Basic Building Techniques

The Link-O-Loon™ balloon, like all other balloons, has a Bead (ring), Neck, and Body.

The difference to this balloon is the tail that stays deflated when the balloon itself is inflated. This flexible tip gives you a ready-made tie line for connecting directly to other balloons or structures.

The Link-O-Loon™ Knot

Most people tie one Link-O-Loon™ to the next with a standard "double knot" (reef or granny knot). While this is quite secure, Link-O-Loon™ recommends the Link-O-Loon™ Knot, as it is more secure, easily undone (for repairs or alterations) and prevents the burring, which occurs while tying a knot; thus creating a slow leaking deflation hole in the latex.

Direct tying, balloon on balloon

The Link-O-Loon™ tail allows the user to tie directly to the neck of other balloons or directly to the tail or neck of another Link-O-Loon™. Chains can be created quickly without the use of fishing line.

Inflate

All done!
