" I am Brandon Nowasky and on behalf of expertvillage.com, I am going to show you more about balloon animals. This time we are going to make a sword. This is just an example of something you can do, not necessarily an animal. Get to do all kind of objects. For the sword you are going to blow the balloon up leaving about the same amount as we did before, about two and a half to three inches and start up the knot end again. You are going to go up always about a hand’s length so about three or four inches, twist and hold there. Then you are going to do another twist and lock, just fold over about the same length like that and you are going to do another one; twist over, lock. Now at this point you going to want to make sure that you twist, so that you have got these two on one side and the other handle on one side, the blade of the sword on this end, just like that and that is the basic sword. Now if you have a longer balloon you can add a couple more of these down here and you can also play around with it because depending on the size of the balloon you might want to blow it up a little more so you do not have this hanging on the end. That is the basic sword. Next time we will do an animal that involves more than one balloon."
