"Hi, my name is Dan McLellan and I'm with Expert Village. We're now going to talk about how to make a complex balloon creation. That is using multiple balloons for one single creation. We're going to use the duck as our example here. Now the duck is actually made out of three balloons. I've got a yellow balloon, a white balloon and believe or not, only one orange balloon. So in this process, we're going to learn a few more steps. One, how to use a single balloon twice, as is the case with the duck with the feet and the beak here, and how to tie into the balloons so that you get the feel of one creation here although you're using several different balloons. We'll also be using some of the other concepts that we have previously already learned in these simple creations. As you see the top of the duck here has an ear tie, there's some basic bubble twists here. So its a combination of the simple stuff to make it look a lot more complex. Once again, balloons really aren't that hard, you just have to learn the very basics and then you can combine them together and you can create very complex fun creations to put a lot of smiles on people's faces."
