Homemade Crafts : Easy Balloon Fish


Easy Balloon Fish

Not very difficult to make, balloon fish is something that kids will love and it is so easy to make too. If you are planning to throw a first birthday party for your child, all the children will certainly love your balloon toys for them to take as party favors. Clowning with balloons make a perfect show at all the kids parties, irrespective of holidays or occasions on which they are held. Decorating your venue with balloon fish is a great idea for birthday parties for toddlers and babies.

Things You Will Need:
  • 1 6-inch Small Round Balloon
  • 1 Long Balloon (about 2 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length)
  • Bit of Another Long Balloon
  • Black Marker
Method:
  • Blow up the long balloon but not fully, so that you can twist it and fold it easily at will, and tie it at the end.
  • Inflate the round balloon but not too much until it attains a somewhat oval shape.
  • Tie the longer balloon around the round balloon in such a way that both ends of the round balloon project a little at the end.
  • On the front end of the fish, make the tiny loop from the longer balloon to make the lip for the fish and twist it together and then once more to make the other lip of the fish.
  • Twist at an equal distance from the either end to form the bubble and make sure the round balloon cannot turn around.
  • Now twist both the end bubbles together to make the tail of the fish.
  • When the balloons are tied together, tie one end of the piece of long balloon and inflate one end of it and twist a little before half point to form the bubble.
  • Insert the flat end inside the long balloon behind the lips and inflate the other half of the bit and tie the end.
  • Rotate it to hide the end knots downwards and you have the eyes for your fish.
  • Now, use the marker to draw eyes and fins on your fish.
