Hi everybody Malik the magic guy for expertvillage.com. So now I'm going to tell about the crazy hat and some ideas on just free styling it and making up your own stuff. Now basically just play around with anchor points find different balloons, find different ways to patch things together, and you will come up with some cool ideas. You can use the classic base as a design. I'm going to show you one more really fast one that you can do just as another good base and this would be the start to a crazy hat. What you want to do is take two balloons blown all the way up and you are going to overlap them for about 18 inches. Then you are going to twist here and twist here and that is going to make you a base that has two colors. You are going to come together middle, twist this together like this; now this could even be a hat by itself. Now again I like to alternate the colors. On the yellow we are going to twist right on to the middle just like that. There is still room in here to that. Make a bubble here, we twist right here like that, so that is going to make a base to a pretty cool hat. Now in order to start making this a crazy hat we are just going to start adding on pieces. Now we are going to put a red arch on here. So we put an arch over the top like this. You know now we have all kinds of anchor points. We have the two on the end here, we have two here, we have this one up here, we have this one on top, what I'm going to do is put another bow on here. This is just an example you don't have to make a crazy hat the way I'm making it here. You can do anyway you want. We put a bow on top more or less right in the middle so you have something like this and we would even take lets use a alien face. Blow this up quickly and we can attach this right there and that is just a example on how you can use your imagination and freestyle and make a pretty crazy looking hat. This is just by attaching different balloons to different anchor points. Basically if it would fit on there put on there give it a try. Have fun with, have fun making up your hats.
