We are going to use two balloons to make a hat. Inflate a pink balloon leaving a six—inch flat tail (Pic 1).

Twist the first pink soft one—inch bubble (Pic 2).

Lock both ends of the first pink bubble in one lock twist (Pic 3). This step is marked with arrows between points A and B on the scheme.

Twist the second pink thirteen—inch bubble (Pic 4).

Twist the third pink soft two—inch bubble (Pic 5).

Lock both ends of the third bubble in one lock twist (Pic 6). This step is marked with arrows between points C and D on the scheme. The rest of the balloon is the fourth bubble. You have made one part of the hat.

Use a blue balloon to twist the second part of the hat exactly the same size as you did the first balloon (Pic 7).

Lock ends of the first bubbles of both balloons in one lock twist (Pic 8).

Lock ends of the third bubbles of both balloons in one lock twist (Pic 9).

Congratulations, you have made the hat-bug with two antennas. Split the fourth bubbles to make the fifth bubbles. Then pump the fifth bubbles to the end of the balloons (Pic 10 through 14). We can use it as it is or as a part of butterfly costume and etc. Have fun and happy twisting :)
