How to Make Eyes for Balloon Characters

Video Transcript

" Hi Malik the magic guy with expertvillage.com. Now I'm going to show you how to add the eyes on to some of your balloon creations. I'm going to show you first with the barbell. If you have a set up like this where you want to have eyes put up here you can draw them on but it is cool if you take like a white balloon. What you want to do is you tie this on to the bottom part which is going to be the barbell head. You are going to fold this up, you are going to make the bubble the same length, wrap it around the top like this, anchor it like you did some of the hats, we are going to fold it down again make it the same length, twist it like this and give that a turn around. That is one way if we break this off that is one way to put eyes onto a barbell and you can actually draw the eyes section right on there with a marker. Now if you already have a section of balloon like this that you want to put eyes on here is another way that you can do it. Using the snapping technique. You'll make a bubble. Then you make another bubble and you are going to wrap the knot around and you are going to pass it through a couple of times just to seal it off. We are going to do the snapping technique. Then we are going to tie this two pieces together just so it doesn't come unravel. That is going to give you a pair of eyes like this. Now you can take this and then you can put a bubble here, you'll pass it through the eyes, wrap it around a couple of times, then we make a twist here, and we pass that through just like that and that attaches eyes. It is kind of like a roll through using more then one balloon and that makes eyes on a balloon like that. That is how to put eyes on your balloon."
