This
Apple Tree design is made mostly
with 5" round balloons. They
are inflated to 4" in
diameter to make make the foliage
of the tree. They are inflated
only about 1/2 inch to make the
apples on the tree. You could
change this from an apple tree to
an orange tree by simply changing
the color of the balloon fruit.
The balloons are held in place
with an RMS Flat Heart flexible
plastic framework.
.
This Apple Tree is
illustrated in a two foot wide
version made with a standard two
foot RMS Flat Heart Matrix and
mostly 5" round balloons
that have been inflated to
4" in diameter. You may
follow the same pattern and make
this design in a variety of sizes
from 6" across to 7' wide by
using smaller or larger balloons
in smaller or larger versions of
the heart framework.
