How to Make a Sumo in Balloon Folding: Part 1

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jeremy, here on behalf of Expert Village. I'm going to teach you how to make a Sumo Wrestler. The reason I'm teaching you the Sumo Wrestler is that it's one of the ones that actually uses the tulip twist, and it's one of my personal favorite designs that I've come up with. The first thing, you're going to leave about a good three inches left on the end of the balloon. We're going to make his legs first. Sumo Wrestlers are not known for being skinny. We just made a one and a half inch bubble, a barrier, and we're going to make another one and a half inch bubble, a barrier, another one and a half inch bubble, a barrier, a one and a half inch bubble, a barrier; kind of repetitive; isn't it? Another one and a half inch bubble, and we're going to start going up, back up against itself. Make the legs a little bit thicker. Twist it in itself, twist it in itself. Try to keep the bubbles about the same size each time, and once again, just tie that last balloon. There we are. I'm missing a foot there. We're going to end up breaking another part, and adding the foot on. We'll go ahead, and we'll teach you that next time. When we get the body on, we'll teach you how to get the foot on next time."
