"Now we've made Pluto, now it's actually time to make Mickey Mouse or Mickey Mouse's ears in a hat. I'm going to take a basic measurement; again you can measure your own head. And then just twist them around, twist them on that side and of course same on the other side. Now then we're going to take these little nozzles and shape them into an arch. The one goes round and underneath and round. And that secures it in place. I'm going to do it the same with the other side. Stretch the balloon, we only need a little bit of a nozzle. The same length, it's a secure fixture. Now we need to find the central top point of the hat, which is about there. It's about got to be even on each side and the same on the other side. First twist and twist it several times. And you come to the top of the hat, twist it again several times. Now this is where it gets fun. We're starting to get the shape of the ears. I'm going to take the knot and wrap it into this joint here. Wrap it under and around. There's one little ear. Get the knot and wrap it into this joint here, wrap it over a couple of times. No set way of securing as long as it goes threw and up, and under. If you wanted to make the Minnie Mouse ears you can always add a little red bow. I'm going to try this on. If you want to you can always add a little bow here and make it a Minnie Mouse hat. Hey, I'm set for Disney Land. Quack quack quack quack quack, anybody seen Donald Duck? Quack quack quack, I think he went his way."
