Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Use a long modeling balloon that's inflated, but not over-inflated, as your base. Over-inflated balloons are useless because they pop when you twist them. When filling a modeling balloon with air, fill it to approximately 80 percent capacity, but no more. Tie the balloon.
Step2
Squeeze the balloon up and down its entire length to stretch the rubber and make it supple. A well-worked balloon is much less likely to break during the modeling process.
Step3
Pinch the balloon and twist it clockwise. Counter-clockwise also works—the important thing is to use the same motion consistently on the entire balloon. For the purpose of this example, we'll use a clockwise motion.
Step4
Grasp the balloon roughly 3 inches down. Pinch and twist it clockwise once more. Done correctly, you will have a bubble twisted into the balloon.
Step5
Squeeze the bubble several times to increase flexibility.
Step6
Hold the bubble in your palm. Twist the entire bubble clockwise a few times. The two previously twisted sections will form a single Pinch Twist point and your balloon transforms into a 90-degree angle.
