"Now I'm going to make a little creepy crawly spider now. This is how I do it. Tie the 2 ends together, something you're quiet familiar with by now. Make a basic circle. Now I need to find the halfway point, hold one still and twist the other bubble on the other side. Now we're going to make the googly eyes of a spider. So I'm just going to squeeze and twist. Now we need to find the halfway point of our oval shape. So I'm just going to fold the balloon down and grab it at the top and twist and fold it back down. Now to secure the eyes in place, all I'm going to do is just fold it underneath and bring it right back around. We'll see, here it goes. There, everything is locked into position. I'm just going to slide it up my arm cause now I'm going to grab all these balloons and find the center. Now then, I'm going to twist them like this just in the center and then just thread them through the body. There's one. There's two. There's the other leg. And pull it. You can see where we made the twist in the middle. But we're not going to see that because that is right inside the spider's body. I'll show you how we make one leg. I'm just going to fold it up like that, grab like the knee joint and twist. Make a small bubble several times. Do that one more time. Take a leg, twist. Now go around every single leg. I'll show you what it looks like when we've done that. There, our finished spider. Watch out, he's a real creepy crawly."
