Make your favorite 2 balloon flower (without any leaves just the stem). Take another balloon of any color ( I think black looks nice with a red petal flower) inflate it leaving about 1 inch of uninflated balloon. Twist the balloon at the halfway mark and lock twist it about 1 inch and half away from the petal. You should now have the petal and 3 spikes going outward.Lock twist the 2 black spikes together to fit the child's head. Twist a 1 inch bubble near the end of the green balloon and locktwist it with the end of the two black balloons (making a helmet) That's it Balloon Boy (email with any questions or comments)
