STEPS
TOOLS
4 260 balloons and 3-4 11" round balloons
Inflate 260 balloons leaving a 3-4" tail
Inflate the 11" balloons with only a puff of air. Then tie off and cut off necks.
Like so
Take the first 260 balloon and put a little bubble at the end. Control the bubble while you do the same on the second 260
Attach one of the ends approx 7" up from the little bubble at the end. Then do the same on the other balloon
Like so
Make a little bubble to go up a level. We're going to make a flat weave.
Attach one side to the other using the little bubble as the anchor point.
And do the same on the other side
Roll them around each other to easily connect them
Like so.
And again (4 layers)
All 4
Take off the excess at ends by twisting off a bubble, and then cutting the balloon at the end to release excess air, and tying off
After tying off, curt off excess.
Like so...
Take the next set of 260 balloons
Twist the ends together with small bubbles
Twist the balloons together. (tip: hold bottom where the balloons are connected w knees and use hands to spiral balloons around each other...)
When you get close to the end, squeeze and twist together (3 times)
Like so
Tie off ends and trim off excess
Attach to one of the little bubbles hanging off the flat weave
Like so
And do the same to the other side making the basket
Then add eggs... Copyright Balloon Utopia tm http://www.balloonutopia.com
