    Favorite way of sealing balloons?

    I’ve often wondered what other looners’ favorite ways of sealing balloons are.

    Personally, I tie the smaller ones I don’t necessarily care about saving but always use either a rubber band or a clip to seal loons I may want to hold onto for a while and reuse.

    My girlfriend recently bought these for us and they work perfectly! Just like the clips from loonerworld.de, just without the loop for a string - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JZ2MD3H

    So how do you like to seal your balloons?

    I'm a nonpopper and only have smaller balloons, so I like to use a coin like a penny or a rubber band to seal my balloons. I get a better neck from riding when using coins, but the coin usually falls out.

      You can buy that kind of clip at IKEA very cheaply. I really like them. Second favorite way is to use rubber hair ties.

        Clip, or if you get the neck full you enough you can just twist it and it will hold.

          I do a half tie. Occasionally I will use a clip but I have had them break in half and turn into painful projectiles.

            I usually half tie. On some of the 32and 36 " balloons I roll the neck and push it in like a punch ball. I put the sealed end down so that's it does not unroll while bouncing. Occasionally I use a clip as well.

              I do not like using clips. I tend to tie a full knot in the ones that are destined for bursting and a half-knot for the lucky ones that I might allow to survive.

                I’ve used a champagne cork and small rubber band for the same purpose of maxing out the neck size Works well without blowing out.
