Abstract
A method to create a hollow ornamental structure utilizing an inflatable balloon, the ornamental structure features an inner shell layer created by inflating the inflatable balloon to the predetermined size and shape with a filler material, allowing said filler material to harden and pouring out access filler material when a desirable thickness of hardened filler material is attained; and a textured and colored outer shell layer. The basic form of the hollow ornamental structure can be further modified to form a container such as a vase and other decorative pieces.
Claims7
A method of creating ornamental structures utilizing a balloon, the method of creating ornamental structures further comprising the step of:
- i. Selecting an inflatable balloon of desirable size, shape and building material;
- ii. Inflating said balloon using an injectable and expandable filler material;
- iii. Monitoring size of the balloon until desirable size is attained;
- iv. Sealing said balloon with a temporary clamping device, letting the filler material begin to harden and set;
- v. Emptying the filler material out when the hardened filler material lining the inside of the balloon has attained a desirable thickness;
- vi. Applying a layer of stucco directly on the outer surface of the balloon, creating surface texture on wet stucco with hands or tools;
- vii. Applying layers of paint on dry stucco surface;
- and
- viii. Applying layers of resin on dry paint to protect surface.
A method of creating ornamental container structures utilizing a balloon, the method of creating ornamental container structures further comprising the step of:
- i. Selecting an inflatable balloon of desirable size, shape and building material;
- ii. Inflating said balloon using an injectable and expandable filler material;
- iii. Monitoring size of the balloon until desirable size is attained;
- iv. Sealing said balloon with a temporary clamping device, letting the filler material begin to harden and set;
- v. Pouring most of the filler material out when the hardened filler material lining the inside of the balloon has attained a desirable thickness;
- leaving a small amount of filler material at the bottom of the balloon to form a base;
- vi. Letting the base dry completely to form an internal horizontal base;
- vii. Cutting horizontally at the top of the balloon to create an opening;
- viii. Cutting horizontally at below the internal horizontal base of the balloon to form a standing base;
- ix. Applying a layer of stucco directly on the outer and inner surface of the balloon, creating surface texture on wet stucco with hands or tools;
- vii. Applying layers of paint on dry stucco surface;
- and
- viii. Applying layers of resin on dry paint to protect surface.
