Making A Flower In Balloon Modeling

Video Transcript

"Hi! Malik the magic guy, expertvillage.com. Now let’s talk about some balloon flowers using just the techniques and the stuff I’ve showed you, you can make flowers several different ways. I’m going to show you how to make one with one balloon, what you want to do is you want to use your tulip twist, that’s going to be the center of the flower so you tuck in just like I showed you before and grab it from the outside and make your tulip twist. Now we’re going to make three loop twists or fold twists, there’s one, there’s two and there’s three that’s going to make the top of a little flower, now we want two fold twists down here, you can make them individually but I’m going to show you another way to do this. If you squeeze the air all the way to the end then you can make a fold in the balloon like this…I’m going to make an S shape out of it and then you squeeze right across and just make your both loop twists at once and that makes a little flower just like that, that’s the one balloon flower. Now there’s a way to do a flower with a geo balloon I showed you this before you can take one of these, now geo’s come with a hole right in the middle, so what you want to do is take a green balloon, blow it up almost all the way then what we’re going to do is just tuck this through here like this…but we’re going to make a bubble first cause as we tuck that through then we’re going to squeeze the air and that’s going to hold that in place and then we S fold it like before, squeeze across and with that placed a little higher up, that makes a flower with leaves that’s not my favorite kind of flower but that’s one way you can do it. The way I like to make a flower out of two balloons is we take a balloon just like this…blown up almost all the way, then we make a loop like we did with the heart, tie it in a knot, we’re going to make a bow then we’re going to squeeze the bow in half again just like this, you do have enough room if you leave a little bit of unflated room in the balloon, then we take one more green balloon, you can put a tulip twist on this if you want but I’m just going to use a regular bubble, put this through here just like this…that makes the top of your flower then you can S fold again to make your leaves, that would make you a two balloon flower."
