100pcs 260Q Mixed color Long Balloons DIY Animal Modeling Balloon Thickening Latex Twisting Balloons for tying balloons garland and Birthday Wedding Christmas Festival Party Decoration.

I am not a professional balloon twister by any means, but I have casually twisted basic figures taught this fun hobby to kids of various ages. My favorite balloons have been Qalatex 260 but for some reason they are no longer easily available not affordable as much any more so here I am trying different brands. I must say I quite pleased with these balloons overall especially given their very affordable cost. These stretch nicely, have a beautiful and unique metallic color to them and inflate and twist nicely overall. I feel that they inflate slightly skinnier than typical Qalatex 260 but do not see it as a major concern. These balloons feel nicely flexible and stretchy in action and that is the single most importable quality to me. I will mention that these arrived vacuum sealed and the very first balloon I pulled out to work with happened to be torn. I have obviously not worked through the whole bag yet to definitively confirm, but my assessment is that this is a "one of" mishap as the rest of the balloons appear to be damage free. Five stars!

I've had so much fun experimenting with Balloon Animals using these balloons! I had originally got these for a Clown Halloween costume, but I ended up getting really into the hobby and these were great to practice with. I've gone through about half the bag and only one balloon ruptured upon inflation so far. I actually brought these out with me to the bar one night, and ended up running into a 20 year professional balloon artist while I was there, who even said these are excellent quality for being so cheap!Balloon art has been so fun so far, and these balloons hold up amazingly for the cost!

Nice

These seem like standard balloons as far as I can tell. Nice colors, twist up without popping, inflate like normal balloons...no complaints.

My son loves to make balloon animals. When I came across these, I had to get them for him. We have been having so much fun making animals! I wish these came with a pump, but we have managed to use a cheap dollar store bike tire pump to inflate them. You can't inflate long balloons by mouth - well maybe you could get lucky and one would inflate lol - but it's a struggle! You will definitely want to make sure you have a pump. There are tons of easy to follow balloon animals tutorials online. And this pack has enough colors that you can pretty much make anything! We are very happy with these and having a blast!!

Normally I order Qualatex brand balloons, but this time I thought I would save a few bucks and go with the off-brand. These are average at best. They're thick and a little tougher to blow up by mouth, buti believe the real problem lies in how they are shipped. The seller vacuum packs the balloons so that they can be placed in an envelope and shipped cheaper. The only problem with that is that when I opened them, I found that a significant portion of the balloons had gotten sealed to themselves and were unable to be blown up. Frustrating at best, embarrassing at worst because I discovered this in front of the people I was supposed to be entertaining. Unfortunately, it was a good experiment, but I don't think I will order from this company again.

I got these because I recently got a balloon inflator. So, why not learn to do balloon animals right?!? Well it's a scary process to learn. I keep thinking these balloons are going to pop under pressure. But they don't. No matter how much I squeeze, bend, twist or tie them. As long as there's room at the end without air then these balloons will hold up. I really like that there are so many of them and the good assortment of colors. Now I can practice making balloon animals and shapes all I want and don't have to worry about running out of balloons or worring if I have the right color to match the item I want to make.These are very beginner friendly. I have yet to have any pop while practicing.

These are pretty decent quality, especially for the price! They're fairly firm, to the point that even with strong lungs and twenty years of experience, I had trouble inflating them more than halfway by mouth. This isn't really an issue, since most people will be making balloon animals with a pump in hand... but if you're the kind of person who keeps a few balloons on hand wherever you go, you might not want to use these for that.The color selection is pretty random, and you won't necessarily get what's depicted in the pictures. While the first image shows an attractive selection of ten colors, the pile of uninflated balloons in the same image better represents what you'll get, including brown, white, two shades of yellow, and an interesting grayish purple that I swear I only ever see in these variety packs.
