STEP 2

Inflate a Green 260Q, leaving a 3-inch tail, and tie. Make two 1-inch pinch twists, a 6-inch bubble, a 1-inch pinch twist, a 5-inch bubble, a 1-inch pinch twist, and a 6-inch bubble tied back to the original set of pinch twists. Deflate the remaining balloon and use it to tie the Hat to the hairband.

STEP 6

Inflate an Onyx Black 160Q about halfway, and tie. Tie the nozzle into the set of Yellow pinch twists. Wrap the 160Q around the base of the triangle above the 260Q brim, positioning the buckle at the front of the Hat and wrapping the balloon back into the buckle to secure. Break and discard the remaining balloon.

STEP 8

Use the scrap end of the shamrock to tie it behind the Hat band down to the base of the triangle.

TIP: Be sure to get hairbands with no plastic teeth so they don’t damage the balloons!
