Try this technique to make some beautiful marbleized balloons that resemble dyed Easter eggs as shown below.
Ingredients
ULTRA HI-FLOAT or SUPER HI-FLOAT
11-inch white latex balloons
11-inch pearl white latex balloons
Food Coloring
Instructions
Use the white clip on the pump to add SUPER HI-FLOAT or ULTRA HI-FLOAT to the inside of 11-inch white latex balloons.
Add two or three drops of food coloring to the balloon. At first add just one color to each balloon. Try blue, yellow, or red food coloring.
Rub the outside of the balloon to mix the food coloring and HI-FLOAT and to spread it around.
Inflate the balloon with air or helium in the usual manner.
If you don't like the color pattern, deflate the balloon, rub it some more, and then reinflate it to get a different pattern. No two are alike!
For a more elegant look use pearlized white balloons instead of plain white.
You will be surprised at the beauty of these custom colored balloons. By blending you can make any color you want. The colors will darken slightly on drying. If “runs” form use slightly less HI-FLOAT. For variation, use clear balloons instead of white ones and add a little glitter for added sparkle. Or, use with pastel colored balloons to achieve many beautiful colors.
