How to Make a Basic Balloon Hat
Hi everybody Malik the magic guy with expertvillage.com. So before we do anything else I want to review with you how to make the basic hat, basic helmet, classic base, it's got a few different names. This is going to be a very big building block that we are going to do based on this. So you want to take a balloon with air all the way in it. You can leave maybe a tiny bit at the end but this is if you leave a little bit it and squeeze it, it would be a nice soft. So what you want to do is start with a bubble at the end, you want to wrap this around who ever you are making it for. Try to size it up for there head just like that. This is what you are going to end up with and you are going to make another bubble here, fold this down, and twist this around like this. That is going to make your basic hat. Now this is going to leave us with a few anchor points which I would talk about in a little bit. You can anchor on here, on here, on here, all kinds of different places. The other one I did was this one we are going to do one more of those. I blow up a balloon up here. What you want to with it is leave a little bit more at the end then you normally would for a hat. Normally with the hats and the pieces that we are adding on we are going to blow them all the way up. This one you are going to take just make around like this with the one bubble and then loop around. With the shaping I showed you before you can shape this down now give that hook. Kind of a bend to it and you can put your ball at the end and that is going to give you if you want to use that for a little microphone for a headset you can. So that is another kind of basic hat. So using this two we are going to do all kinds of different hats design, talk about fun way to add things on.
