Hi, everybody Malik the magic guy with expertvillage.com. More on balloons, now we’re going to get
into some more intermediate type stuff combining different balloons, I’m going to show you
some of the different kinds by now you should of watched all the basic stuff and you should
have a mountain of balloon animals in your house just like we do here on the set, it’s
going to be great. So there’s a few different kinds of balloons that you can use that they
make that are different shapes, this is one called a geo this is what it looks like without
any air in it, you can use these for mostly for flowers I actually don’t use a lot of
these but you should definitely try them out, I’ll show you how to make a flower with
this later on and you can certainly decide what the best choice is for you. A 6 inch
round or a 5 inch round is just a basic round balloon like what you may of seen as a kid
only smaller and these are good for hats, sometimes you can draw things on these and
make faces but these are nice for just adding on, they also make 5 inch rounds with imprints
so you can get alien faces, you can get smiley faces, they have some with eyeballs on them,
you can get them with all different prints on them from a balloon supplier they make
probably 30 or 40 different ones. This is a 6 inch heart balloon, this is a heart shape
they make these in a 12 inch as well, the 6 inch hearts are nice for hats, you can put
this on like wand with a couple of loop twist and give it to a kid to wave around, this
is the heart uninflated, later on when you get into some more advanced twisting there’s
other things to do with these like making eyes for characters out of them and that kind
of thing. One that we’re going to use a lot this is a 321 balloon because it’s 3
inches wide and 20 inches long, it’s got a black tip on it this is what it looks like
uninflated, these come in five different colors yellow, orange, there’s a pink, a red, a
white, the white one sometimes have red tips on them I think it’s just a question of
what you get. There’s another really skinny balloon called a 160, that’s one inch wide
and 60 inches long those are good for dog leashes and stuff like that and then there’s
a 350 which is this width and 50 inches long and that’s good for making some of the larger
multi balloon characters that we probably won’t be getting into but later on you’ll
come across stuff with 350. So that’s a few different kinds of balloons and we’ll
get in more of how to use them.
