Now I'm feeling really creative. So let's add some more to our candy cane and beautiful
heart. What have we added? A swan. And I made this in the last balloon twisting series.
I'll just show you one more time how to add it to the heart. We just left a little bit
in the nozzle there to make the beak. Then I'm going to go to the far end of the balloon
where the knot is and make a small bubble. Then I'm going to wrap the balloon around
the heart like making a beak shape and twisting it around and wrap it into the beak a couple
of times. Twisting it under just to secure it and I'm going to fold into like a figure
8 shape just like we did with the basic swan. Now, we're going to move this little bubble
out of the way because I need to just wrap that underneath. I'm just going to push up
from underneath and up and just tuck the little beak in there like that. Now we need to make
the shape of the swan's beak. And we did this in the other series just rolling the beak,
putting a little pressure on. You can see where I'm doing that. A little heat, a little
bit of pressure and squeeze. Just making a basic shape of the little beak. Make your
adjustments, sit it in place and play about two pretty little swans next to each other.
Our final bit of decoration is a 6 inch ruby red heart. What I do is take the knot, come
around the back and slip it into this little gap here. Take the knot and just wrap it into
place. Go under once, straighten everything up, just slip the heart into the middle. There
we have 2 loving swans on a candy cane in a beautiful heart.
