All About the 160 in Balloon Folding

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jeremy here on behalf of Expert Village. I'm here to show you some more about the different balloon varieties. Right now we're going ahead and talk about the 160s variety of balloons. The 160 basically means that I have the 1" diameter one fully inflated and 60" long. Because of the smaller diameter you can actually when you twist it you can get a lot more twist out of it than what you can out a 260, it's just the fact that you are not fighting much balloon. Usually 160s you don't use for designs in general unless you want something small or detail work on something really large. For example this turtle is nun chunks are made out of 160 and you don't want the nun chunks to be as large as his arms. In the other case I have the fairy which if you also make it smaller and the ladybug my smallest design. It's actually 3 1/2" long and the nice thing about 160s is that they are cheaper than the 260s by maybe a dollar a bag. But cheaper is cheaper."
