Organic Swan Heart Tutorial by Vadim Shuskanov, CBA

Across many cultures, swans symbolize grace, beauty and love. When it comes to balloons, swans make the perfect addition to a baby shower or wedding. We asked Vadim Shuskanov, CBA, of Moscow, Russia to design a decor piece that would beautifully showcase the Graceful Swan Microfoil® and provide inspiration for this perfectly pastel balloon.

With a few simple framing techniques and a basic organic base, Vadim created a beautifully crafted heart that served as the ideal place to nestle two swans. This design is perfect for any event that calls for a soft, loving touch.
