Decorating holidays with compositions and garlands of balloons is in great demand, since this is an effective and relatively inexpensive solution. In addition, having mastered the basics of aerodesign, even non-professionals can decorate the interior of the room where the holiday will be held. Balls can be used to make not only beautiful garlands, but also expressive sculptures. For example, figures of swans can be used to decorate a wedding ceremony or banquet. Air swans are also good for festive decoration of ponds or fountains.
It is necessary
- - 5 or 9 inch balls (13 pieces);
- - balls for modeling 269 sizes (3 pieces);
- - hand pump;
- - water-based markers.
Instructions
Step 1
Inflate two balloons of the same size using a hand pump or an electric balloon inflator and tie the ends in knots. Do not inflate the balloons too tight, or they may burst. Tie both balls in a knot at the ends. Make 6 pairs of knitted balls in the described way.
Step 2
From the resulting "twos" make three "fours". Take two pairs of balls and fold them crosswise at the connection points. Twist the balls together so that they are firmly attached to each other. Make two more "fours" in the same way.
Step 3
Connect the resulting "four" balls together, tying them to each other with tails. Distribute the balls in the resulting structure so that they are arranged like a honeycomb.
Step 4
Inflate another balloon of the same size. Tie it to one end of the structure. It turned out the body of a swan with a tail.
Step 5
Now make the wings of the swan: use the hand pump to inflate two modeling balls (WDM). Before inflating the WDM, stretch and knead it so that it becomes more elastic when modeling.
Step 6
Place the ball on the pump spout with a hole and, moving the piston, fill it with air to a length of about 1 meter, leaving the tip about 5 cm long not inflated, tie the other end of the ball in a knot. When inflating the second balloon, be guided by the length of the first so that the wings are the same.
Step 7
Bend each SMM into a ring and tie both ends into a knot. Bend the rings in the middle, making a fold, and twist one half of the ball so that a jumper forms at the fold (like in a bunch of sausages).
Step 8
Tie both wings together at the tips, but not tightly, so that there is an elastic bridge between them, about 10 cm long. Place the wings between the front and middle "four" balls and roll each wing slightly backward, wrapping the balls in the middle four. Point your wings up and to the sides.
Step 9
Next, you need to inflate the swan's head and arched neck. To do this, give the third SDM an S-shape in the following way. Take a spray bottle of hairspray or other product, wrap a modeling balloon around it, and begin to inflate with the hand pump while holding the wrapped tip of the balloon with your hand.
Step 10
When you inflate a piece of SMM about 50-60 cm long, wrap the un-inflated tip of the balloon around the bottle in the opposite direction so that when inflating, the balloon bends in the other direction to form an S. Leave the tip of the balloon not inflated about 8-10 cm - for the swan's beak. Tie the other end with a knot.
Step 11
Paint over the tip of the balloon with a red water-based marker. Draw the eyes with black marker.
Step 12
If necessary, bend the arcs of the S-neck even further by hand, gently stretching it in the right places, but do not bend the inflated ball. Tie the neck with the head to the body of the swan by the free ends of the balls. Give it a vertical direction. Spread out all parts of the ball sculpture, give it a finished look.
