How to Make a Balloon Animal Elephant

" Hi everybody! Malik, the magic guy with expertvillage.com, so now we are going to make an elephant. This is going to combine both the loop or fold twist and the lock twist. Let me show you. So we are going to start by taking the balloon and make about maybe a hand and 2 fingers so, about a bubble like that. That is going to be the elephant’s trunk. Now we are going to make 1 fold twist, just like that. We are going to make another fold twist and we are going to twist them so they are together just like that. That makes the elephant’s ears and you can size those if you want. Now we are going to do a lock twist with 2 balloons for the front legs, a lock twist with 2 balloons for the back legs and to make this a little more like an elephant, you can actually take this and give it some curve.
