1 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000 We are going to make sea monster 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000 in a shape of a jellyfish of octopus. 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000 Inflate balloon leaving about two 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000 three inch flat tail. 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000 Squeeze the balloon to make it soft. 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000 Pump the air to the end of the flat tail. 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000 We are going to use four balloons 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000 uh... to make I would say 9 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000 medium size sculpture. 10 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000 It is the Halloween season. 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000 Orange and black preferable colors 12 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000 for this occasion. 13 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000 Fold the balloon in half. 14 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000 Mark the spot. 15 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000 Twist the bubble. 16 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000 We have made two tentacles. 17 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000 We can use one balloon 18 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000 per tentacle 19 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000 to make larger size sculptures. 20 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000 Then it would take ten balloons to make it. 21 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000 Well, if you work with 160's 22 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000 then you can use one balloon to make 23 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,000 four tentacles. 24 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000 We have to twist all balloons 25 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000 in the same way. 26 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000 And lock all balloons in the center 27 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000 in one lock twist. 28 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000 In this example 29 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000 I twist and lock all balloons 30 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000 one by one. 31 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000 You can speed it up. 32 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000 Just hold all four balloons in one hand 33 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000 at the middle 34 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000 to twist and lock them all 35 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000 in one move. 36 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000 Try to make all tentacles of the same size. 37 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000 Slight difference, 38 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,000 upto one inch, 39 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000 in size of tentacles 40 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000 will be not really noticable 41 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000 when we are done with this sculpture. 42 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000 Alright. 43 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Here we have connected all 44 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000 eight tentacles. 45 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000 The sculpture looks like...hhm, 46 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000 some kind of star 47 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000 at this point. 48 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000 Our next step various. 49 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000 It depends on what we want to make. 50 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000 Suppose we want to make a jellyfish. 51 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000 Put our sculpture aside for now. 52 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Get a flat balloon of any color. 53 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 And tie both ends of the flat balloon 54 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000 in one knot. 55 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000 Put your hand through the loop 56 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000 of the flat balloon. 57 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,000 58 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000 Hold the sculpture at the center 59 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000 in the hand with... 60 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000 with the flat balloon on it. 61 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,000 Use your other hand 62 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000 to roll the flat balloon 63 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000 down the sculpture. 64 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000 I place the flat balloon 65 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000 about one third or 66 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000 on fourth of the length of the sculpture 67 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000 down from the center. 68 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000 You can use appropriate size rubber band 69 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000 instead of the flat balloon. 70 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000 The only purpose of the band is to 71 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000 keep all bubbles together. 72 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000 Here is the side view. 73 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000 The loose ends of balloons 74 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000 represent tentacles. 75 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000 Let's shape them. 76 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000 77 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,000 Basically I threefold each tentacle. 78 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000 It is very simple. 79 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000 As you can see it. 80 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000 The top part of the sculpture 81 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000 represents the head 82 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000 or the body of the jellyfish. 83 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000 I don't know the proper name for it. 84 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000 So, what do you call it? 85 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000 A belly-head?! 86 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000 I guess something like that. 87 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,000 Okey. 88 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Here I have to shape a couple more tentacles. 89 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000 And then we are going to decorate 90 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000 the top part of the sculpture. 91 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000 Ahh...we can use the simplest makeup. 92 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000 93 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Yes, a permanent black marker. 94 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 It will do the magic. 95 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Just draw the eyes. 96 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000 Here, I am shaping the last tentacle. 97 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000 98 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000 That's it. 99 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Congratulations. 100 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000 We have made the jellyfish. 101 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000 Instead of using a permanent black marker 102 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000 for decoration. 103 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000 We can use a spare balloon 104 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000 to make the eyes. 105 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000 Here I am going to use a black balloon. 106 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000 Actually we need just a couple inch piece of balloon. 107 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000 Not entire balloon. 108 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Twist a chain of two soft one inch bubbles. 109 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000 Now we have to lock 110 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000 all ends of two bubbles 111 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000 in one lock twist. 112 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:37,000 113 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000 You can use scissors to cut off the rest of the balloon. 114 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000 Or do it with your fingers. 115 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000 It's up to you. 116 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000 We have made the eyeballs. 117 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000 Okey. 118 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000 Here we chose any bubble 119 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,000 in the upper part of the sculpture. 120 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,000 Twist a bubble. 121 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000 I made it about five inch. 122 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000 Right here we attach the eyeballs. 123 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,000 124 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000 Once again, 125 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000 we fix all bubbles in proper positions. 126 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000 127 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000 Congratulations. 128 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000 We have made the sea monster. 129 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000 130 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000 That's the front view. 131 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Here is the bottom view. 132 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000 133 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000 The side view 134 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000 and the top view. 135 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Now we are going to use the same sculpture 136 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000 to make a bit different sea monster. 137 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Remove the rubber band. 138 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Instead of rubber band 139 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000 we twist bubbles 140 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000 and lock them together. 141 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000 We can twist bubbles one by one 142 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000 or in bunch. 143 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000 It is possible to twist 144 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000 all eight bubbles 145 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000 in one move. 146 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000 In this example I twist and lock three bubbles 147 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000 in one move. 148 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Now I am going to twist and lock 149 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000 all other bubbles one by one. 150 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000 Sculpture made in this way 151 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000 has more distinguished head 152 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000 then the previous sculpture. 153 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000 I am not really sure if this sculpture 154 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000 looks like an octopus. 155 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Well, at least it has the same number 156 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000 of tentacles as all octopus 157 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000 supposes to have. 158 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Eight tentacles. 159 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,000 160 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Here we have two more bubbles to twist 161 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000 before we will be done 162 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000 with this sea monster. 163 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000 Most certainly, 164 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000 twisting all bubbles in one move 165 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000 ahh...saves a lot of time. 166 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000 It's not easy to hold eight balloons 167 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,000 in one hand. 168 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000 But, no one say that you have to hold balloons 169 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000 only in your hands. 170 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000 We can use our entire body for this purpose. 171 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000 Any time I have to twist big number of balloons 172 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000 at once, 173 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000 I hold them under my armpit or 174 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000 between legs. 175 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,000 176 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,000 Okey. 177 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000 Congratulations, 178 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000 we have made the sea monster. 179 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000 Let's fix all bubbles in 180 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,000 proper positions. 181 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000 Previously we have made the eyes and 182 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000 have already shaped the tentacles as well. 183 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000 So, there is no much left to do, 184 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000 but enjoy the sculpture. 185 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Here is the front view. 186 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000 The side view. 187 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000 188 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000 The back view. 189 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000 And the bottom view. 190 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000 191 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000 Here is the different color 192 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000 sea monster. 193 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000 I made it blue 194 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000 with eight or seven eyes. 195 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000 I use a permanent black marker 196 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000 to draw the eyes in this example. 197 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000 In my experience, 198 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000 little kids love to play with 199 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000 this kind of toys. 200 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000 So, I really suggest you 201 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000 give it a try. 202 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000 Have fun and happy twisting :)
