Ball from a Balloon

Making a ball from a balloon is neat for making eyes. Or superbullets ;-)

Balloons needed: Any pencil balloon. A clear 260Q is used on the photo's.
  1. 1 Cut of the nozzle.
    Step 1
  2. 2 Twist of a bubble, small enough so that you can push it inside the balloon.
    Step 2
  3. 3 Push it inside the balloon.
    Step 3
  4. 4 While holding it, deflate the remainder of the balloon.
    Step 4
  5. 5 Cut of remainder.
    Step 5
  6. 6 And you got a little ball left.

    This can be done faster. Instead of deflating the rest of the balloon, you also snap off the ball. This will leave air in the remained of the balloon allowing you tie quickly make another ball. And it's faster. A video is also available.
