The base of the sculpture is a pentagon shape. We use each balloon to twist three connected pentagons. It makes a heart shape. We have to twist and connect three hearts to make the helmet. And we have to twist and connect four hearts to make the ball. Be aware of the tricky simplicity of the pattern: it could be a very confusing job to make this sculpture using only one color balloons. We are going to twist all bubbles of the same size. It could be any size up to two—inch. You have to twist the right size bubbles to make the right size helmet. For example: helmet made of one—inch bubbles hardly would fit a head of two years old child (at least it does not fit my kid). I also have to mention that this instruction was created as continues for the “Ball 2, Helmet” instruction where we use six balloons to make the ball. Inflate all four balloons leaving a seven—inch flat tail (Pic 1).

Cut off the sixteenth bubble and tie off the end. We made the heart (Pic 21). We actually completed this sculpture by connecting both ends of the balloon. Think it's cool.
Twist the first green bubble (Pic 22). There are three places where we can connect the green balloon to the pink heart.
Let's lock the free end of the first green bubble between the fourteenth and the thirteenth pink bubbles (Pic 23).

Twist the fifteenth green bubble (Pic 42).
Lock both ends of the chain of the first fifteenth (the first through the fifteenth) green bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 43). The rest of the green balloon is the sixteenth bubble. Cut off the sixteenth green bubble and tie off the end. We have made the second (green) heart and it is connected with the first (pink) heart.
Twist the first blue bubble (Pic 44).
At this point our sculpture looks like a diamond. Hold it with pink heart on the left so there are two pink and four green bubbles on the top of the sculpture. Lock the free end of the first blue bubble between the third and the fourth pink bubbles (Pic 45).

Twist the fifteenth blue bubble (Pic 66).
Lock both ends of the chain of the last ten (or first fifteen) blue bubbles in one lock twist. Cut off the rest of the blue balloon and tie off the end. We have made the third heart and it is connected with the first two hearts in a shape of a helmet (Pic 67 through 72).
The helmet can be used as to make other sculptures: vases, hats, wigs, bags and etc. We are going to twist one more heart to make a ball. Each balloon has a chain of two and a chain of three bubbles on the brim of the helmet. We are going to attach the fourth balloon to a chain of three bubbles. Twist the first yellow bubble (Pic 73).

Twist the tenth yellow bubble (Pic 89).
Lock both ends of the chain of the last six (the fifth through the tenth) bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 90). You can use the ball as a hidden place for smaller items. You can place it inside of the ball now. Just don't use any heavy or sharp items. We don't want hurt anyone!

Have fun and happy twisting :)
