Get your balloon. You're going to have to inflate it about
five inches from the end. You're going to need quite a bit of uninflated end here.
Burp it. Tie it.
Starting with the nozzle end, we're going to make an unusual twist here called a
tulip twist. And if you've never done this before, it's a little bit more of an advanced move. You
don't have to do this. You can just leave the front of the plane like this. But I do want to
show you this because it does add a nice little touch to our airplane balloon. What you're going
to do is take this nozzle with your finger push it into the balloon. And then you're going to
catch the nozzle inside of the balloon here. And then twist
with the nozzle. And again, this is optional. So feel free to just watch and wait till the
next step if you're brand new to balloons. So I'm taking the nozzle and pushing it in.
And that's a tulip twist there. And you can see how it evokes a
propeller. Again, it's completely optional,
but adds a nice touch for your airplane. Now let's make a front of the plane. Maybe about an inch.
Now we're going to start with the wings and you probably want about a four inch
wingspan here. Now we're going to make this just as we do a dog. So you're going fold it in half.
We're just going to use the shortcut technique here. So I have the twist
here. I'm going to make a twist here and twist it together. So pinch and twist.
That's a wing and one more to match.
And you can see the wings to your airplane. Now we're going to add a couple of pinch twists here
to secure the wings. So we just make a basic twist and let me show you how
to do that. We make two of them. So I'll explain the first one: make a basic twist.
Hold it together pull this up in place.
Same with the other side.
There you can see the wings. Now you actually have two options here. If you turn it like this,
get an old biplane style airplane which is great.
We're making it different. We're just going to turn these horizontal
slightly for a more modern look to the airplane.
A fuselage:two pinch twists and the remaining part will be the tail.
And there's your airplane balloon animal.
And again, if you like you can turn these to make a bi-plane.
Whatever you look you choose, is up to you.
