Making Bodies for Balloon Characters

Video Transcript

" Hi Malik the magic guy with expertvillage.com. Now I'm going to show you a way to make a basic body out of one balloon. This is a cool first some of the application like a round balloon which I'm going to show you in a second. So what you want to do is start out with a loop. You are going to twist it in half just like this. Just like we have done before with the banana fold and the bunny ears and a few other thing. Then you are going to come not quite half way you are going to come maybe a quarter of the way to a third of the way just like that and you are going to put a twist just like this so you have a big section and a small section. Then you are going to take your big section and fold it over and go in between the two small pieces like this. Give that some shape. What that does that gives you a kind of a torso in here, some arms in here, and legs in here. Now if you take a head for instance say a round smiley face balloon you can attach that on. Connect it to a very basic smiling character, now this is a really good creation to give to really smile kids because it is kind of like a stuffed animal, they can kind of hold it like a doll. So if you have small kids this is really cool. We are going to use this body for some other stuff later on like a clown. But this is a great a body to use and it is simple to use and quick. So if you have a lot to do fast it is a good body. That is the one balloon body. "
