Hello. We are going to use 3 balloons to make
a sculpture that you can use as a ball.
(birds chirping)
Inflate each balloon leaving one inch flat tail.
(birds chirping)
Tie both ends of the 1st , the blue balloon,
in one knot.
(birds chirping)
Find the half size of the balloon.
(birds chirping)
Split the balloon on two bubbles of the same size.
(birds chirping)
Lock both ends of each bubble in one lock twist.
Now the balloon you've twisted has two loops.
It looks like digit 8.
(birds chirping)
Twist the 2nd, the purple, balloon in exactly
the same way as you did the 1st, the blue balloon.
Tie both ends of the balloon in one knot.
(birds chirping)
Find the half size of the balloon.
Twist two bubbles of the same size.
And lock all ends of each bubble in one lock twist.
Make sure the bubbles are of the same size.
If the bubbles came in different sizes
you have to untwist them.
And twist them of the same size.
(birds chirping)
Fold the bubbles together.
Fold the bubbles of the first balloon together.
(birds chirping)
Force the purple balloon half way inside
of the loops of the blue balloon.
(birds chirping)
Now you have to rotate the purple balloon.
To hide the knot under the bubbles of the blue balloon.
(birds chirping)
This way no one will see the knot.
Our next step is to loop the yellow balloon
around the blue balloon.
Force the yellow balloon half way inside
of the loops of the purple balloon.
Do it with both ends of the yellow balloon.
(birds chirping)
Take one end of the yellow balloon
bring it over blue balloon
and force it inside of the loops of the purple balloon.
You have made one whole loop of the yellow balloon
around the blue balloon.
Force the end of the yellow balloon
through the loops of the bubbles of the purple
balloon one more time.
(birds chirping)
Now you have to tie both ends of the yellow balloon.
(birds chirping)
The next step is to hide the knot of the yellow balloon
under the bubbles of the purple balloon.
Gently rotate the yellow balloon through the bubbles
and hide the knot under the bubbles of the purple balloon.
(birds chirping)
Make sure all bubbles of each balloon
protrude even on each side.
And the knots are well hidden under the bubbles.
Congratulations, you have made the ball.
You can use the ball to play big number
of indoor games.
Have fun.
