Hi everybody! Malik, the magic guy with expertvillage.com. We are going to a few more basic balloons now. The one thing you are going to want to get for the next thing, the bumblebee and humming bird is a marker. This is a click type. Any permanent marker will work. Some people say dry erase is fine. Try which one you like better and use that but find yourself a basic black marker and we will talk about bumblebees and humming birds. This is going to have 1 section in it that is going to make you a little nervous, just practice you will be fine. So to make a bumblebee, actually we will use the yellow for this because it will be a little better, to make a bumblebee we are going to make a small bubble like this. Then we are going to come all the way to the end of the balloon and about 3 inches in from the end we are going to make another bubble like that. Then we are going to make 1 giant loop twist like this, so this is what you have. Then this is the part that is going to make you nervous but don’t get nervous we are going to fold this down like this and then you’re going to squeeze this in half and bring this around and make 2 loop twist out of it. That will pop the first couple of times you do it. If it doesn’t, you got lucky but don’t feel bad if it pops, don’t worry about it. Now to make this into a bumblebee, I am just going to draw some stripes back here. You can make them neater obviously. Going to give him a little face because this is kind of important for being able to tell what it is. This is your basic bumblebee along with the wings and everything else. Now the hummingbird is the same thing but backwards. So in the case of the hummingbird, we want to make the longer bubble here toward the knot end of the balloon. Then we want to come down to this end and make this smaller bubble here and then we want to twist these together. So now the short piece is where the uninflated end is. That is going to be the bumblebee’s nose. We are going to do the same and squeeze this down, twist this in half and we are just going to push that up over there like that, twist everything into place and then you put a little face on there, a little smile. That’s going to be your hummingbird balloon.
