How to Add Round Hearts to a Balloon Hat

At a party, the kids crowd around the person shaping balloons into unusual forms. Especially for little girls, the person creating balloon hats with a heart on top can make them feel like princesses waiting for their own Prince Charmings to come sweep them away.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Long balloons
• Heart-shaped balloons

1. Inflate a long balloon, leaving a couple of inches uninflated at the end.

2. Wind the balloon around the child's head to size the hat, making the knot end come around to the middle of the forehead, and twist a small bubble a couple of inches long in the knot end.

3. Twist the bubble around the balloon at the forehead to make the hat's base, a circle around the head. Take the leftover long end and loop it over the top of the head to the back.

4. Make another small bubble and twist it around the balloon at the back of the head.

5. Twist the balloon segment that loops over the top of the head, twisting it in the middle.

6. Wrap a heart-shaped balloon to the twist in the loop. Make a bow to support the heart on the hat, if you wish.

7. Inflate another long balloon, then tie it into a circle as the start of the bow. Twist the circle into a figure 8, then twist it around the heart on the hat and arrange the bow to make the heart stand up straight.
