Transcript:Make a Giraffe Balloon Animal

Hi, my name is Jesse Blanchard and I am going to show you how to make a giraffe balloon. To do this task you will need a balloon pump and just one balloon.

Inflate the Balloon

Begin by inflating the balloon. You'll want to leave about an inch of un-inflated balloon at the tip. Next make a small twist at the end, followed by a double locking twist. This is the head of the giraffe. So let's give it a nice long neck. Right about here.

Locking Twists Hold the Balloon Shape

Make a locking twist, followed by a second locking twist that is the same size. And there you go, a finished balloon giraffe. Thanks for watching, to learn more visit us on the web at About.com
