How to Make the Blade of the Sword in Balloon Folding

Video Transcript

Hi, this is Jeremy, on behalf of Expert Village and I'm going to continue to teach how to make the simple twisted sword. We have the handle already, what we need is the blade. Most kids are not too happy if you hand them a handle. What you have to do is, you have to inflate a "two sixty," you're second "two sixty," so that it is almost full, there's about an inch on there. Once you have it inflated and tied off, you're going to go ahead and make sure that the end of both the balloons are flushed with one another. Take the balloon, pull it up with your hand, whatever hand you're not dominated with, whichever one you don't twist as much with, hold the balloon, like so, in that hand. What we're going to do is, we're going to twist it around one another. So your dominate hand is going to go ahead and start twisting and as soon as it feels awkward, move your non-dominate hand down, so you can hold the twist together. You keep on moving down and as you go down, if you notice, this side is much longer, than this side. You can squeeze the balloon and actually make them so they are the same lengths. When you get down to the bottom, what you do is, you twist the two balloons together, to make sure they hold their shape. Once you have that, you just need to attach it to the handle. In order to do that, we're going to connect this part right here, with this part right here. So, what we're going to do is, put those parts right next to one another, we're going to pull this bubble out, right here and we're going to go ahead and twist it around, inside of there. Once you have that, you have a pretty good sword. If you want to make the blade a little bit stronger, you go ahead and you twist the blade around once more in there and it tightens the balloon, against itself and you have created a fairly simple, twisted sword.
