Hello.
We are going to use four different color balloons
to make the ball.
Inflate all balloons leaving seven inch flat tail.
We are going to twist all bubbles of the same size.
It could be any size up to two inch.
Let's start with pink balloon.
We are going to twist a chain of five bubbles.
We need five bubbles to make a pentagon.
That's what we use as a pattern for our sculpture.
We use each balloon
to make three connected pentagons.
Three connected pentagons
would make one heart.
Lock both ends of the chain of the 1st five bubbles
in one lock twist.
We made the first pentagon.
(birds chirping)
Now we twist a chain of next five bubbles.
We are going to twist and connect three hearts
to make one helmet.
And we will use four hearts to make one ball.
It would take a while to twist 60 bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Now we are going to lock both ends
of the chain of the last six bubbles.
You have to bring the end of the pink balloon
through the loop of the 1st five bubbles.
Also, we can say that we lock
both ends of the chain of the last nine bubbles.
It would not make any difference.
(birds chirping)
Now we are about to make the second pentagon.
Let's twist the eleventh pink bubble.
Now we are going to lock both ends of the chain
of the last five bubbles in one lock twist.
Just force the free end of the 11th bubble
between the 6th and the 7th bubbles.
(birds chirping)
We have made two pentagons and one extra bubble.
(birds chirping)
Twist a chain of next four bubbles.
(birds chirping)
I also have to say
that this instruction is a continues for
previously published instruction
"Ball 2 Helmet 1"
where we use 6 balloons
to make the same ball
with 60 bubbles.
Alright.
Lock both ends of the chain
of the last 10 bubbles in one lock twist.
(birds chirping)
We have made the heart.
(birds chirping)
Cut off the rest of the pink balloon.
You can use scissors or do it with your hands.
Tie off the end.
Once again, we're going to twist
and connect three hearts
to make the helmet.
And we will use 4 hearts to make the ball.
(birds chirping)
I am going to use a green balloon
to make the next three pentagons.
(birds chirping)
Let's twist the 1st green bubble.
There are three place where we can make
the first connection.
Uh...I am going to lock
the free end of the 1st green bubble
between the 13th and the 14th pink bubble.
(birds chirping)
Twist a chain of next four green bubbles.
I always suggest to use different color balloons
for this sculpture.
Specially if you do it first time.
Different color balloons make it easier
or at least less confusing where you have to make
the connections.
Lock both ends of the chain
of the first five green bubbles
in one lock twist.
We made the first green pentagon.
(birds chirping)
Twist the 6th green bubble.
Lock the free end of the 6th green bubble
between the next two pink bubbles.
You have to force the end of the green balloon
through the loop of the chain
of this five green bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Twist the 7th green bubble.
Lock the free end of the 7th green bubble
between the next two pink bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Now let's twist a chain of the next three green bubbles.
We have to twist right size bubbles
to make the right size helmet.
For example with this size bubbles
we can make helmet for a little
2-3 years child.
Alright.
Now we lock both ends of the chain
of the last 6 green bubbles in one lock twist.
(birds chirping)
We made a loop of six green bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Now we twist a chain of next four green bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Lock both ends of the chain
of the last five green bubbles
in one lock twist.
(birds chirping)
Twist the 15th green bubble.
(birds chirping)
And finally we lock both ends
of the chain of the first 15 bubbles
in one lock twist.
We can make exactly the same heart
in many different ways.
I think it is more interesting
or more challenging to finish at the same point
where we started.
So far we made two connected hearts.
(birds chirping)
Cut off the rest of the green balloon.
And tie off the end.
We have to twist and connect one more heart
to make the helmet.
(birds chirping)
At this point our sculpture looks like a diamond.
The next balloon we are going to connect
first to the pink heart.
And then we will connect it to the green heart.
OK.
Please pay attention here.
The pink heart is on the left side.
The green heart on the right side.
There are one pink and two green pentagons
on the top of the sculpture.
Twist the first blue bubble.
We have to lock the free end
of the 1st blue bubble
between the two pink bubbles
on the top of the sculpture.
Right here.
(birds chirping)
Twist the second blue bubble.
(birds chirping)
Lock the free end of the 2nd blue bubble
between next two green bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Twist the 3rd blue bubble.
Lock the free end of the 3rd blue bubble
between the next two green bubbles.
(birds chirping)
I have two re-twist green bubbles here.
(birds chirping)
Alright now.
Let's twist a chain of the next two blue bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Lock both ends of the chain
of the first 5 blue bubbles
in one lock twist.
(birds chirping)
We made the first blue pentagon.
(birds chirping)
The next couple connections
we will make to the left,
to the pink side.
Twist the 6th blue bubble.
Lock the free end of the 6th blue bubble
between the next two pink bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Twist the 7th blue bubble.
Lock the free end of the 7th blue bubble
between the next two pink bubbles.
Here we are again.
I untwisted the pink bubbles accidentally.
Let me fix it.
Alright now.
(birds chirping)
Twist a chain of the next three blue bubbles.
(birds chirping)
We are going to lock both ends
of the chain of the last 6 blue bubbles
in one lock twist.
(birds chirping)
At this point our sculpture already
looks like a basket or vase.
(birds chirping)
Twist the 11th blue bubble.
(birds chirping)
Lock the free end of the 11th blue bubble
between the next two green bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Now we twist a chain of next three blue bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Lock both ends of the last 5 blue bubbles
in one lock twist.
(birds chirping)
Now we have to twist one more blue bubble.
The last, the 15th bubble.
And again, we will finish at
exactly the same point
where we started by connecting both ends
of the chain of the first 15 blue bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Let's lock the ends.
We made the third heart.
An it is connected to the first two hearts
in a shape of a helmet.
Take a look at your work.
(birds chirping)
One more thing to make it perfect.
Cut off the rest of the blue balloon.
And tie off the end.
(birds chirping)
We can use this sculpture to make vase,
a basket, uh...hats, wigs, and so on and so on.
(birds chirping)
OK.
Let's see where is our top show fashion model
the mister Penguin!
(birds chirping)
This how the helmet will look like
on a little child.
We have two positions to choose from
how to wear the helmet.
Here is the second position.
(birds chirping)
Thank you mister Penguin,
uh...we have some more job to do with the helmet.
We have to twist one more heart to make a ball.
Let's turn the helmet upside down
to see how many bubbles we have
around the brim.
There are three balloons
and each of them represented by chain
of two and chain of three bubbles.
We will connect the fourth, the yellow balloon,
to the chain of the three bubbles.
Between the two bubbles located
to the other color bubbles.
Twist the first yellow bubble.
Find the chain of three blue bubbles.
And lock the free end of the 1st blue bubble
between the two blue bubbles next to
the green bubble.
Twist the 2nd yellow bubble.
Lock the free end of the 2nd yellow bubble

Twist a chain of the next two yellow bubbles.
(birds chirping)
Lock both ends of the chain
of the last 6 yellow bubbles
in one lock twist.
The ball is a good hidden place for
smaller size items.
(birds chirping)
So, if you have any toys or any gifts
to put inside of the ball, do it now.
(birds chirping)
OK.
Just to give you the idea,
I am going to put a little chicken
inside of the ball.
Please don't put any sharp or heavy items
inside of the ball.
It may hart people.
(birds chirping)
Thank you little chicken.
Now you can go back.

Congratulations.
You have made the ball.
We can use the rest of the yellow balloon
as a handle to care the ball around
or for some other reason.
We can hide it inside of the ball.
Uh...we can cut it off and tie off the end.
(birds chirping)
Make sure all ends hidden between the bubbles.
Inside of the ball.
Fix all bubbles in proper positions.
(birds chirping)
Once again, for this sculpture,
to make this ball we use four balloons
to twist 60 bubbles, to make four hearts
or twelve pentagons.
We connected both ends of each balloon.
This ball is real fun toy to play indoors.
(birds chirping)
Surprisingly it's quite durable.
And you hardly can brake any thing
in your apartment with this ball.
(birds chirping)
Have fun and happy twisting :)
