" Hi! I am Brandon Nowasky and on behalf of expertvillage.com, I am going to show you more balloon animals. This time I am going to show you how to make a snail. For this one, you need to blow the balloon almost all the way full, just leave probably about half an inch down at the end. This is because the snail does not actually have that many twists and locks on it. First you are going to make the head, just a smaller head and the next part is going to be just a lock; this probably about 4-5 inches long on either side, just lock it in like so and what you are going to do is you are going to take the remaining portion of the balloon and roll it up. Just start at the end, fold it over and just roll it up. Just be careful not to let it loose and spring on to the on the sides. Just use your hands to hold the balloon together. When you get down to the end you are going to take that loop that you have created and roll the loop. That is going to be kind of first, you’ve got to push it in there and it is okay to push it too far at first get steady, once you get it locked in, just back out a little bit and then there you have a snail, the head and the curled up shell. That is the snail."
