How to Shape a Balloon Like a Peanut
Balloon shapes add amusing pieces for parties and other events. A balloon shaped like a peanut consists of two spherical ends and a narrower waist in between. Peanut-shaped balloons can be used to decorate a stand at a party or perhaps for an elephant-themed event, given the association between the peanut and the animal. Twisting a balloon can be mastered after some practice.
