Things You'll Need:
- A Balloon pump
- One long balloon (Qualatex 260Q)
-
Step 1
First, use the balloon pump to blow up a Qualatex 260Q balloon all the way.
-
Step 2
Before tying the balloon, let out some of the air. Then go ahead and tie the balloon.
-
Step 3
Pinch the end of the balloon on the non-tied side so that the air goes towards the tied side. You will now have bit of a tail on the non-tied side to work with.
-
Step 4
Tie both sides of the balloon together so that it makes a circle.
-
Step 5
Making sure the ends of the loop are on the bottom, form the shape of a heart by creating a dip at the top of the loop and holding it together in your hands. The dip should encompass the area between the 3 O'clock and the 9 O'clock parts of the circle. It should be like a crease and you want to squeeze it firmly so that some of the air leaves the area. It will take a few seconds to set. Just squeeze this spot a bit. And now you should have a lovely heart!
