So you've blown up your balloons. After the fun, how do you get rid of them? I'm assuming you're a not a fan of popping, since I'm posting this in the non popper forum.

Re: You have a choice to make...
I use balloon clips for the big ones with the thick necks that i can't tie off.For the smaller ones i only tie them off half way.I only pull the end through half way so it keeps the air in and later i can just pull the end back out to use them again at a later date.Comment

Re: You have a choice to make...
I like my balloons as tight as possible, so I only use them once. After I'm done playing I just untie and deflate them.Comment

Re: You have a choice to make...
I STILL have this fear with balloons, but not inflatables...go figure! If I'm in the mood to play with balloons then I either use clips or just untie them and deflate them when I'm done.Comment

Re: You have a choice to make...
I use large binder clips to clip them off or just half knots (but those can be tricky) so that I can deflate them when I'm done. Rarely will I tie off any balloon larger than a foot or so.Comment

I use rubber bands to tie them. Very easy to untie them But be careful to not tie it too tight. And if they can't be untied, use scissors and cut in the knot or just under the knot so they don't pop. The only disadvantage is you have to throw away the balloon .Comment

Re: You have a choice to make...
Why not just (carefully) cut the rubberband itself? There's a risk of poking the balloon, but at least there's a chance of being able to keep it instead of just cutting the balloon itself.Comment

Clips for the larger necks & half knots for 14" & smaller. Both allows deflation & use another time. Does anyone hot water shrink the deflated balloon? Have to dry it off with tissue paper then talc surface to stop sticking together.Comment
