So
[Music]
now, this is a really cool jeweled balloon sword.
You're going to need to know how to make
the pinch balloon twist
as well as your basic balloon twist.
So let me show you how this looks. But
it's going to be a lot of balloon twisting
so you need to have quite a bit of
uninflated end here. Four or five
inches. I'm going to start out with two balloon pinch
twists.
Starting at the nozzle, make a small
basic balloon twist.
Now what you're going to do is take the
nozzle here and feed it
into this crevice here.
Hold it and you're going to make a pinch balloon
twist. What you do is you grab,
pull up a little and then twist
and you have your first balloon pinch twist. Now
you're going to make a second balloon pinch
twist
to match the first so make your very small basic
balloon twist.
Fold it and grab it.
Pull up a little and twist.
And that's the start of the handle of
your jewelled balloon sword.
Now you're going to make the handle
itself. So think of holding this,
maybe you want it right about there.
So make a basic balloon twist and hold.
Now comes the complicated part. You're
going to be making
two small basic balloon twists, a slightly larger
basic twist and then two small ones to
match the first two. So
five twists in all with the middle one
being slightly bigger.
So let me show you that and remember
that each time you make a basic balloon twist,
you're not making any balloon lock twists for a
while here so you have to keep
creeping this hand over to hold.
One.
Two
Three and a little bigger and then these
next two will match
these two here.
[Music]
You have something that looks like this.
Now you're going to twist these two
sections
together.
And that forms your balloon lock twist. Now
you're going to repeat on this side so i
won't go through the counting. Let me
just finish this up
and there, I think you see the balloon sword forming
right now.
There's one more detail that we like to
do. Remember how we made that
that middle base twist a little bigger?
You can leave it just like this and I
think that it looks pretty cool like a
jeweled sword,
but what I like to do is turn this into
a pinch twist. So let me show you that.
So hold pull this up and twist
and there, now you can see them side by
side. See how I made the pinch twist here
and i didn't over here? So it depends on
which look you like. So i'm going to
finish this with the pinch twist
and there you have a jeweled
[Music]
balloon sword. It's a little more ornate.
If you've got a lot of kids to make
sword balloons for you may not want to bring
this one out because there's so many
balloon twists involved. You may want to stay
with these simpler balloon swords
depending on the one you get good at
making. But this balloon sword will be
very very popular at a party, once you start making it.
