How to Make a Balloon Unicorn Hat (Balloon Animals)

[@izHuNu]

The Knot tying skill alone was worth the thumbs up! The moment I heard the Voice Over, I knew the effort put into this vid was gonna be worth it!

Thank you so much! ☺️

This is so perfect and so cute! I'm excited to add it to the rotation, I think it'll end up being a favorite!

Do you have any tips for 01:42 please? "Cut off the tips of the balloons to deflate them". The end is easy enough because you leave the uninflated balloon to work with but what about the nozzle? Mine just ends up deflating the whole horn. Does that make sense? Thank you!!

[@KeepitCrafty]

Wrap the bubbles around the balloon multiple times before cutting off the tips. That should close off the opening to the horn so it won’t deflate. If you tried that and it didn’t work just double or triple the amount of times you wrap it around the balloon before cutting off the tips.

So easy for linework!

I can't seem to manage the pinch twist at the beginning

[@KeepitCrafty]

Sorry for the late reply! I sometimes have trouble getting the pinch twists to stay twisted if there’s not enough air in the balloon, so next time you may want to make sure the balloon isn’t too soft by adding more air. Hope that helps!

I'd add a pinch twist/bubble at the top of the unicorn horn for a more pointed effect. Cute & simple

Great

Would 260 balloons work?

[@KeepitCrafty]

I’ve tried it, but it didn’t work for me. The 160 is skinnier and more flexible. You could always try a 260 though. Maybe you’ll have better luck than me.

[@emilyfarmer1542]

Is there a reason you use 160q not a 260q?

[@KeepitCrafty]

Yes, I thought the ears looked too big and didn’t have the right shape with the 260. The horn also looked too big. Although, maybe it wouldn’t bother you the way it bothered me. You could always try it.

[@eyemdking]

When I first started balloon twisting a lady asked for a unicorn. I didnt know how but I made a unicorn hat on the fly. Similar to this but not nearly so symmetrical bahahaha

[@KeepitCrafty]

That’s impressive you were able to make one on the fly! There were a couple of times kids asked me to make balloons I had never practiced before and they didn’t turn out so well. 😬😅
