Simple cheap helium gun - the helium isn't as cheap! Inspired by KJBubbleguy aka Keith Michael Johnson. See his excellent videos for inspiration on how to play with this toy.
What you need:
- One balloon
- One piece of plastic pipe/flexible tubing
- One nozzle from a carton of wine
The tricky bit is getting the right size tube for your particular nozzle. Look in your local hardware shop.
One bottle of helium - I think this party balloon version is more expensive than other versions.
Ready for some fun! Ziggy is immune to bubbles - almost.
Push the tube over the helium jet.
Press your nozzle so its open. Let in the helium to fill up the balloon.
Make a bubble. Dip the tube in some mix to wet it. Insert the tube into the bubble and press your nozzle.
See the bubble start to lift?
