When children are still young, it’s easier for them to pick up toys. But here they gradually grow and require not only toys, but also your participation. Balloons can be a great helper here. The stores now present a huge number of different sizes and colors. But we are talking about long balls in the form of sausages. It is convenient to make various figures and accessories from them. Even if you don’t know how to make a sword out of a ball, experiment, it’s not difficult at all. But how much pleasure you bring to the child!
The initial steps are the same for any toy. How to make a sword out of a ball if there is nothing else at hand? First of all, it is necessary to inflate it. When buying a kit, pay attention to the availability of a device that simplifies the inflation process. It could be a plastic pump or something else. Such a kit costs a little more, but it simplifies the process. If desired, you can train your lungs by inflating the ball yourself. To slightly facilitate this task, first remember the ball in your hands or stretch it several times.
It should be inflated in equal portions, if the air does not pass to the end of the sausage, you can slightly help it by clamping different sections. You should get a straight, elongated sausage. To make it convenient to work in the future, leave the tip of 5-10 cm not inflated. Consider the whole sequence of actions. We have already completed the first step, now we are starting to create a toy. How to make a sword out of a ball without using any additional devices? To make it more convenient to work, do not inflate its back much or slightly bleed air out of it.
We take the inflated workpiece, step back from the edge of 5-7 cm, twist the ball at this point so that we get a handle. Now we measure another 5 cm and twist it again, then bend the workpiece and fix the resulting bend at the place of the first twist. Similarly, we do it again. We have obtained the handle of a sword, the protective trays are directed to both sides, the rest of the ball will be a blade.
If this is difficult for you, you can use another scheme. How to make a sword out of a ball with a minimum of action? Inflate, measure 20 cm from the edge and twist. Then we direct the separated piece down and after 10-15 cm connect it to the main blade. The loop turned out, in this way we created a saber rather than a sword, but for children it is all the same, the main thing is to have a weapon.
How to make a sword out of a ball, we have already described. If you have several inflated blanks, making it even easier. One ball will be a blade, and with the help of the second we will create a hilt for the sword. To do this, we tie it into a circle and twist it. Then we put on the first ball and twist it several times. We get two loops, which will create a sword together with the first workpiece. You can add a helmet to the head and shield in the other hand. Your warrior is ready.
You can create not only a sword from balls, "sausages", but also the equipment of a knight or an astronaut. True, this will require a lot of time and the help of the whole family. But how happy the child will be when they put on such a carnival costume! He will even have to walk like a real astronaut or a diver, turning over from one foot to the other.
