Balloons are fun little things, bags of fun for both kids and adults alike. Here are the instructions for making swords out of balloons, certified by Balloon modelers from Melbourne. Follow these instructions to make your first balloon sword.
1. Inflate a balloon leaving a very small margin. Let a little air escape and then tie the knot without making it too tight the balloon mustn't be either too compressed or too soft.
2. You should be able to press the balloon between two fingers, without forcing on it too much, or conversely, without your fingers reaching each other too easily
3. At about 3 or 4 centimeters (1 1/2 inches) from the knot, press the balloon, and twist to form a small, rounded bubble
4. Holding the bubble with one hand, bend the balloon with the other hand to shape a loop that's 10 to 12 centimeters (4 to 5 inches) high.
5. Firmly hold both ends of the loop together then keep the loop in place by twisting it several times around its base.
6. Open the loop wide to create an opening at least as wide as the balloon is thick.
7. Bring the tip of the remaining length of balloon to the opening in the loop.
8. Push the tip of the remaining length of balloon through the opening in the loop, widening the loop slightly with your thumbs if needed, to pass it through the loop.
9. As soon as this portion of balloon is long enough, pull on it to bring most of the remaining portion of balloon through the loop. You will see a second loop take shape.
10. Careful! You shouldn't pull the balloon all the way through, but stop when the second loop is about 15 to 20 centimeters (6 to 8 inches) high.
11. With one hand, compress the second loop to bend it into two parts, with the side located under the bubble slightly longer than the other.
12. Gently pinch the newly formed angle to push the air from it, then twist the latex between your forefinger and thumb and release it very gently so that the air gradually comes back into the angle.
13. Pull on the bubble's knot with one hand; meanwhile, with your other hand, you need to bring both ends of the bubble close together, while pushing the center of the bubble away with your middle finger.
14. When both ends of the bubble are touching, twist the bubble around its base to keep it in place.
15. Push the air to the end of the balloon, if need be, to evenly spread the air over the entire length of the blade.
16. Hold the sword in your hand and admire what you just made. These were the instructions for making balloon sword. Follow these instructions to make balloon swords like professional Balloon twisters in Melbourne.
