"Now we're going to put the balloon animals down for a few minutes and concentrate on hats. I just love hats as you can see. Goofy hats, party hats; silly hats and baseball caps. So basically find your model or you can just fit your own head. It's going to take a rough guide there. Make a oval shape around your head; make a little bubble like that. I should give it a little extra stretch just to be on the safe side. Usually you end up using a little more than you think. And then we're going to find the center point in the front and bring your brim around. Make a small bubble into the bellam. You'll see I've got a little knotty end and a little nozzle showing. You can leave it like that it's not necessary to be to tidy with this hat, it's a fun hat after all. Now going to come to the other balloon, take the knot and twist it into the first bubble. Bring it up because your head is actually be in this area here. Give yourself a little bit of an arch shape. Find the canter, the back; very back of the hat it's about the center point. You want your arch to just be raised up a bit because after all your head is going to fill the space here. And twist your dividing second bubble into that central point there. Now we need to find the center point of this yellow bubble. This kind of makes the shape of a star. Right in the middle there. It's a crossover shape. Go underneath twice if you would like to, you don't have to. Go back down the hat, you come to the front piece; you got a little excess. We'll get rid of that. Let the air out, you can knot it off if you want or you can just twist it underneath. We don't want the excess so we just get rid of that, out of sight like that. Make sure it's all firmly secure. Hmm, I think it's time to put it on don't you. Ooh, cool."
