Transcript:How to Make a Flower Balloon

Hi, my name is Jesse Blanchard and I am going to show you how to make a flower balloon.

Supplies for Making a Flower Balloon

To do this task you will need:
  • a balloon pump
  • and two balloons

Instructions for Making a Flower Balloon

First inflate one of the balloons leaving about an inch uninflected at the tip. Next tie the tip to the end of that balloon. Then, fold the balloon in half and do a locking twist. Next fold the other half of the balloon in half and secure at the middle. You can arrange the balloon so it looks better. This is what you should have now.

Next, we're going to make the stem. Inflate the second balloon leaving about an inch uninflected at the tip. Twist a small section at the tip then twist this into the top of the flower. It should look like this. Next we are going to do the leaves. Go about 6 inches down and make a fold-over twist. Make a second equal-size twist at the same spot. These are you leaves.

You've now finished your flower balloon. Thanks for watching to learn more visit us on the web at About.com
