I'm actually going to be letting air out of these because I want to stretch these out.
These are the long 260s.
I stretch it all out and I'm wrapping it around my fingers, making sure not to get any kinks in it because I want a curly balloon.
We're going to use these to make an animal today.
So I need a couple more of those quick same thing all the way up So now that we've got a few these, I'm going to attach these all together a very technical squishing format here.
Now we're going to use this is like a classic round party balloon and we're getting there.
But our little friend, he needs some eyeballs.
This one I don't want to make very big at all.
I'm actually gonna make it really small, but it's so soft and squishy, I can take it and squish it all the way in half and now big eyeballs.
I like to use the big Sharpie.
And that is my favorite balloon octopus.
