	Special Effects Column by Jan Iiams, CBA

	This versatile column is great for use with Conwin's Insider and Balloon Exploders, or Balloon Bulbs!



			To cover a pole beautifully, and simply, place Glue Dots® or double stick scotch tape vertically on the pole.



			Place #40 ribbon on half of the adhesive, leaving the other half exposed Wrap the ribbon around the pole and adhere to the exposed Glue Dots® or double stick tape.



			Place the base plate and pole onto a piece of spandex fabric. Stretch and pull the fabric up and gather around the pole, securing tightly with a 260 balloon. Trim excess fabric from the top. Cover the area with two 6 inch heart quads, nitrogen filled with a Duplicator 2 or Dual Split-Second Sizer. Add two more at the top of the pole.



			Holding the end of a 260 balloon between thumb and forefinger, stretch and wrap the balloon around your wrist, inflate the balloon with nitrogen on a Dual Split-Second Sizer or Duplicator 2 to create a beautiful twist but with a small portion still uninflated.

			Repeat the process with a 350 balloon, tie the necks of both balloons together and secure into the cluster at the top of the pole. Wrap the curled balloons gently around the pole, tie the ends together and secure into the bottom cluster. Add a bow and accent balloons at the base with Glue Dots®.



			Top with a 3 foot clear helium balloon filled with 6 inch helium filled hearts using a Duplicator 2 or Dual Split Second Sizer and The Insider. For a fantastic special effect, use The Exploder to pop the balloon on cue up to 100 feet away!



			Or, illuminate this beautiful design by inserting Conwin's Balloon Bulb into a 3 foot white pearl balloon and securing to the top of the pole. Add an inexpensive battery push light inside the spandex.To light the bulb, plug into a power outlet and...let there be light!
