For this
balloon hat you're going to need two
balloons
and inflate them to about three or four
inches from the end.
And you want them to be fairly close, as
close as you can. Even if you don't get
them that close on the inflation you
still have some leeway, so don't
worry about it. So anyway, let's get
this balloon hat started.
Go with your first balloon. Now
you have to kind of measure that this
distance will be about approximately
half of the diameter of a person's head.
So I'll just make this for a kid, kind of
on the small side here, but
I'm going to say "here." We're going to go
and make a basic balloon twist here.
[Music]
Now we're going to make a balloon pinch twist
here. Notice how I'm holding with the
left hand,
otherwise it would come undone. Hold. Now
make a small
basic twist, remember to always
pinch and then twist which makes it a lot
easier. Now
fold. Now this is going to turn into a
pinch twist so what you're going to do
is pull this and then twist it. Let's do
that.
[Music]
And you have half of your
two balloon jester hat. Let's do the
same with the other balloon.
Now you want the second balloon to match
here,
as close as you can but you may have to
adjust depending on the
person you're making the balloon for.
Again. I pinch and twist, holding with the
left hand here and
twisting with the right. Now we're going
to make a
pitch twist. I already explained it so
I'll just go right through it.
[Music]
And we have two of these
shapes here. Now what you do is you take
one and reverse it
and then these nozzles go into the pinch
twists.
Let's do that.
All you do is pull the nozzle and wrap
it around the pinch twist.
[Music]
Same with the other side.
[Music]
And of course this is what goes around
the person's head and this is for
a little kid.
For an adult you'll have to make this
bigger. Now you take
these two balloons here and you're going
to cross them
on top and then we're going to twist
these together. So it's just one
basic twist right here. Let's do that.
Mow I like to have it something like
this so you have your
hat formed here and you have your arch here
and then place these so they're
perpendicular, going that way. I
guess you could do it this way but
I think it looks better this way now.
You can take this and kind of give it a
little bend. So what you do is
try and make sure that the air doesn't escape
here and just bend it
like that and do the same with the other
side.
Remember, you have to hold the air here,
otherwise the air will come out.
So hold it here and bend.
[Music]
And it gives it one of those kinds of
things.
Now we're going to make the end of the
tassel. So all you're going to do is
make a small basic twist at the end and
then squeeze it to the end of the
[Music]
balloon.
[Music]
There's one
basic balloon twist and push it to the end.
[Music]
There you have a two balloon jester hat.
Of course, there is a three balloon
version takes one more balloon and it's
a takes a few more twists.
So you may want to use this one as a
shortcut and this will be very popular
at events.
This balloon hat is very colorful and kids as well as
adults will enjoy
wearing these. So that's a two balloon
jester hat.
