"Hi, I'm Dan McLellen. I'm with Expert Village. Today we're learning how to make a complex balloon creation. Specifically, we're making a balloon duck using a white balloon, a yellow balloon and a orange balloon. So far, we have made the body of the duck, the eyes, the stomach, the beak, and we're going to reuse the same orange balloon that I cut off when I made the beak. Now the difficult part here is I do not have a lip on this balloon anymore because I cut it off from the previous orange balloon which makes if difficult to inflate by a mouth. You may have a lot of problems with this. So, at this point I would recommend that you do use an inflator if you don't have experience blowing up balloons. But, I do so I'm going to give it a shot here. Notice how it was quite a bit more difficult. So, once again I'm going to tie the two ends of the balloon here and just like the beak, I'm going to fold in the center part of the balloon into the tied end of the balloon to create roughly two equal halves here. And I'm then going to attach it to the remaining part of the duck which would be beneath the stomach here, the back of the body of the duck and its tail. So the tail part will just go right into that loop there. And, voila, you have a duck! We're now going to go and show you how to add on a little face to it and maybe dress it up a little."
