Cool Double Balloon Sword for Parties

Ever work a party where there are lots of little boys and you want to make a special sword for the birthday child? I just came across this spectacular Double Sword that is made of two balloons. The use of the two balloons offers lots of options for not only creating a big sword, but a colorful one that can match the party color scheme, a child’s team colors and more.

You’ll find the step-by-step instructions here.

By the way, in practice, I discovered that the handle, because it's made from two balloons, may be too thick for small hands to comfortably hold. As a result, I found that you can modify the handle so it features an opening between the two balloons that a child can slip his or hand through. It may not look as good but it's easier for children to hold and since they have their hand between two balloons, it's far more secure.

By the way, these instructions are found at Magic.About.com, which is one of the best balloon animal sites on the web. As the name implies, the site is geared towards magic, but it’s got a thorough, well written section devoted to learning balloon animals, and also features instructions for some cool, advanced balloon animals. I’m sure that I’ll be revisiting some key aspects of this site in later blogs.
