6 Steps To Make A Balloon Crown

How to Make a Balloon Crown

 

1. Create A Helmet Base With A Single, Full Balloon

Make a bubble on one end by twisting it, then wrap the balloon around the head to get the correct size and twist the end to the bubbled end. You will have a round circle with an end sticking up.

 

2. Take The End That İs Sticking Up And Bend İt Back Across The Length Of The Base

Twist the end to attach it to the other side of the helmet.

 

3. Blow Up Two Additional Balloons So They're The Same Length

While holding them together, fold them in half and twist them in the center. You'll end up with both balloons joined in an X shape.

 

4. Grab Two Ends Of The Balloons And Feed Them Through A Section Of The Helmet Base Until They're Positioned Halfway Through

Then, twist the ends to attach them to the helmet base.

 

5. Take The Two Knotted Ends Of The Second And Third Balloons And Connect Those To One End Of The Helmet Base By Twisting Them

Then, take the two rounded ends of the second and third balloons and connect them to the other end of the helmet base in the same fashion. You have now completed the basic crown shape.
