Video transcript: Balloon Twisting From Scratch 9 - Skill 4: Make Angles With Balloons

Hi! How do you make angles with balloons?

First, take the part of the balloon where you want to form the angle, and secure it between your hands, so that the balloon will be folded between your palms.

Then, you press until the folded part of the balloon disappears between your two palms. Sometimes you can even hear a little "pop" sound.

You then, very gently, let the fold out from between the palm of your hands by opening them slightly.

Then, you gently ease back on the rest of the balloon, and there you have it! That's generally enough to make an angle.

Now, if you want to refine your angle to make it even pointier, you take the balloon in one hand, with the folded angle showing between your thumb and forefinger.

You pinch the angle with the other hand until there's almost no more air in it, just a bit of latex between your fingers. You then rotate that bit of latex, held tightly between your fingers.

Then release it gently, so that air gradually comes back in. And then, ease back on the rest of the balloon.

Voila! As always, practice on your own before going on to another lesson with Mossieur Ballon.
