How to Make Balloon Heart Fairy Wings

How to Make Balloon Heart Fairy Wings

Fairy wings are very popular with the girls at a party. The
adults like them and some of the boys as well. Here's how to
make them from balloons.

!! Steps !!

* Using a balloon pump, inflate a balloon. Leave about 4 inches
(10cm) un-inflated at the end. Remove the balloon from the pump
carefully while pinching the end so no air escapes.

* Tie off the balloon. Use your other hand to pinch and then pull on
the end to stretch it. Release the first hand and re-pinch the
balloon a short distance away from the end. This action will give
you enough room to tie off the balloon by making a loop and
pushing the end through the loop and pulling it tight.

* Put this balloon around the waist of the child and twist the ends
together to hold it in place. Make sure the twisted ends are at
the back of the child.

Inflate two balloons of the same color and tie off the ends. Tie the
ends of each balloon together to form a rough circle. You now have
two balloon circles of the same color.

Tie them together tightly to form a figure eight.

Form each balloon into a heart shape. To do this, take the middle of
the side opposite the tie and form a fold that just fits into your
hand. Squeeze your hand into a fist and hold it briefly. When you
release your hand, the circle will now be heart shaped. Do the same
to the other balloon.

Take the completed wings and attach them to the balloon that is
already tied around the waist of the child. Do this by twisting the
free ends of the waist balloon around the center of the wings.

* Now you're done; tell them to fly away!
