"Hi, I'm Jeremy, here on behalf of Expert Village and I'm going to teach you how to make a simple twisted sword. For this, you're going to need two "two sixty" variety balloons, doesn't matter which color on this one, whatever you think looks good. The first one you're going to inflate so that it still has about, maybe a good four inches, on the end of the balloon. Once you have that there you're going to go ahead and twist a one inch bubble, tie the end of the balloon around it, so it creates a bubble on the end there. Now, if you need to go back and start the video all over again because I'm going to fast, that's fine, I'm going to go fast though, just to get as much in here as I can. The next one, after about two inches, let me go ahead and make a twist. Another inch and a half, another twist, another two inches, another twist, another inch and a half, another twist and you can see I'm kind of holding both sides of where the twists start, with either hand, that's to make sure that they don't come, undone. And you go ahead and you turn the first and last twists together and you're going to do that exact same thing again. Half inch, or actually one half inch, two inch, one and a half inch, gets twisted in the center and you and use the "break twist," to get rid of the excess and tie it off. And that's the handle for the sword. A lot of times you can actually hold it right on your nose, if you want, while you're making the other end of the sword, which we'll go ahead and show you, the other end of the sword, in the next part."
