We use three balloons to make this ball. We twist each balloon to make four connected pentagons: it makes one diamond. 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 (sixty) bubbles of the same up to one—inch size. This instruction was created as continues for the “Ball 2, Helmet” and “Ball 3, heart 5, helmet 2” instructions. Inflate all three balloons leaving about eight—inch flat tail (Pic 1).
Twist the first bubble (Pic 2).
Twist the chain of six (the first through the sixth) bubbles (Pic 3).
Lock both ends of the chain of the last five (the second through the sixth) bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 4). We made the first pentagon.
Twist the chain of four (the seventh through the tenth) bubbles (Pic 5).
Lock both ends of the chain of ten (the first through the tenth) bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 6). We made the second pentagon.
Twist the eleventh bubble (Pic 7).
Lock the free end of the eleventh bubble between the fifth and the sixth bubbles (Pic 8). You have to pull the end of the balloon through the loop of the first pentagon.
Twist the chain of four (the twelfth through the fifteenth) bubbles (Pic 9).
Lock the free end of the fifteenth bubble between the ninth and the tenth bubbles (Pic 10). You have to pull the end of the balloon through the loop of the second pentagon.
Twist the chain of four (the sixteenth through the nineteenth) bubbles (Pic 11).
Lock the free end of the nineteenth bubble between the fourteenth and the fifteenth bubbles (Pic 12). You have to pull the end of the balloon through the loop of six (the tenth through the fifteenth) bubbles.
Twist the twentieth bubble (Pic 13).
Lock both ends of the chain of the first twenty (the first through the twentieth) bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 14). We made the fourth pentagon and the gray diamond. The rest of the balloon is the 21st bubble.
Cut of the rest off the balloon and tie off the end. Or you can just hide the 21st bubble behind the other bubbles (Pic 15). We can connect bubbles in different ways to make the same shape. I just like to lock both ends of the balloon in the center of the diamond. We are going to make and connect two more diamonds.
Twist the first and the second pink bubbles (Pic 16). There is a chain of four bubbles on the top and the bottom of the diamond. There is a chain of three bubbles on the left and the right sides of the gray diamond. We are going to attach the pink balloon to the bottom of the gray diamond. Then we twist pink diamond attaching it to the right side of the gray diamond.
Lock the free end of the second pink bubble between the third and the fourth gray bubbles (Pic 17).
Twist the chain of four (the third through the sixth) pink bubbles (Pic 18).
Lock both ends of the chain of the last five (the second through the sixth) pink bubbles in one lock twist (Pic 19). We made the first pink pentagon.

Lock the free end of the fifteenth pink bubble between the ninth and the tenth pink bubbles (Pic 29).
Twist the sixteenth pink bubble (Pic 30).
Lock the free end of the sixteenth pink bubble between the thirteenth and the fourteenth gray bubbles (Pic 31). You have to pull the end of the pink balloon through the loop of five (the eleventh through the fourteenth and the twentieth) gray bubbles.
Twist the seventeenth pink bubble (Pic 32).
Lock the free end of the seventeenth pink bubble between the eighteenth and the nineteenth gray bubbles (Pic 33). You have to pull the end of the pink balloon through the loop of the five (the fifteenth through the nineteenth) gray bubbles.
Twist the chain of two (the eighteenth and the nineteenth) pink bubbles (Pic 34).
Lock the free end of the nineteenth pink bubble between the fourteenth and the fifteenth pink bubbles (Pic 35). You have to pull the end of the pink balloon through the loop of six (the tenth through the fifteenth) pink bubbles. We made the third pink pentagon.
