Method 1 Popping by Hand
- Hold the balloon in place to keep it from moving around.The balloon is going to move when you try to pop it,so you'll need to either hold it with a free hand or secure it to asurface.
- Apply pressure to the balloon if you don't have a sharpobject.
- Use your body to pop the balloon.
Then, how do you put a balloon down without popping it?
Gently pull the knot away from the balloon.Softly pinch the balloon just under the knot. With a pair ofscissors in your dominant hand, cut the knot off theballoon. Slowly relax the fingers you have pinching theballoon and let the air deflate.
- Add about a teaspoon of any of these powders to your balloon.If you have a small funnel, that will greatly simplify things.
- Blow up the balloon and tie it off.
- Place the balloon some distance away from you and use a lighteror candle on a meter stick to pop it and ignite the powder.
Also know, is it safe to pop a helium balloon?
A burst of helium balloons can actually harmpeople in a very bad way. After the span of five hours,leave some balloons to float to the ceiling, if these do notpop, it means that it is same to release moreballoons, but in case they do pop, then give extratime and do the above test again.
The air in a balloon is at a higher pressure thanits surroundings because the elastic tension of the balloonskin is pulling inwards. The high-pressure air that was inside theballoon is now free to expand and this creates a pressurewave that our ears hear as a bang.
