How to Make Balloon Heart

Video Transcript

"Hi. My name's Dan McLellan and I'm with Expert Village. We're now going to learn how to make a basic one balloon heart out of 260 balloons. First we're going to start by inflating the balloon. Now, although I want to give the appearance that it's fully inflated I am not going to fully inflate the balloon. I leave a little bit uninflated and as I tie the balloon off I'm going to let some air out and then tie the balloon. And to give the appearance that it's fully inflated I'm going to do a bear hug by folding the balloon in three thirds, push it against my chest and I get the appearance that it's fully inflated. Now, previously we've talked about doing half inch bubble twist off. Now, with the, connecting the two ends of the heart here. What I'm going to do is just put them together and I'm going to push them together and rotate. So I won?t actually have to twist the separate half inch bubbles. The half inch bubbles are simple created by connecting the two together and pushing together. Now, I am going to hold the circle created by two half inch bubbles down there. And I'm going to hold it like a steering wheel at the 10 and 2 position like you're driving there. I'm going to just take my hands and put them inside and reverse. Fold together. And with my right hand hold the top of that fold. And with my left hand I'm going to just squeeze that area several times. Maybe give it a little twist. The result, when I let go, it looks like a heart."
