Making a Balloon Hat

Video Transcript

"Now we have made a whole range of balloon animals; but now we are really going to get the party started and make a wonderful balloon hat. We are going to keep it a little bit of a surprise, just for a minute. We are going to start by measuring the person's head. We are going to take a basic 260q, measure around the person's head, make a little bubble and twist it into the other end of the balloon. We are going to take the other end by the center of the end side of the balloon, twist it, hold it still with one hand, twisting with the other and lock that balloon in its place. Just going to do it one more time (get the air) and twist it around again. So, you have equally sized bubbles on each side. Take another color, find the middle, pinch twist it. Do you have any ideas what I could be yet? Find the middle of the top of that hat. Pinch twist it into the hat. Now, what's our mystery hat going to be? You are going to find the center of the bottom row. Pinch it, twist it, and find out where the balloon naturally falls. Add another pinch too it. Draw the balloon underneath, wrap it around, turn it around and you can see a horn. If I roll it and put a little pressure on it, it might be a cats tail or monkeys tail. Makes a beautiful horn shape. Same thing, pinch twist it, center, find where it naturally falls, pinch twist it, roll it along and there we have it. IT's a Viking Warrior hat. All you need is your sword and you are a real warrior."
