How to Make a Butterfly Balloon

[veny647]

super like it ..

[HappyCabbie]

@veny647 Thanks, don't forget I have two other butterfly designs as well on my channel

[rjtheballoondude]

Hey Happy Cabbie, Just ADORABLE! I will be adding this to my Balloon Menu immediately, so I can offer a few versions. I've never done the 2 wings; bigger and smaller; I've just done balloon distortion to shape my bigger wings. But, this one is just SO ADORABLE I gotta use it to. I will do the antennae just a bit different tho. I like Travis's touch on those in his video. Many thanks for sharing..

[HappyCabbie]

@rjtheballoondude Thanks, don't forget this is just one of three versions of the butterfly balloon that I have

[CuriousNYButterfly]

I love butterflies! You are really talented. :)

[HappyCabbie]

@CuriousNYButterfly thank you, this one is more advanced, I do have two easier versions for you as well

[xXeggfairyXx]

the video was good, the only thing i didn't like is you didn't show what half way and 2/3 look like. Still a good video, thanks.

[lilellablue]

[HappyCabbie]

@lilellablue thanks

[lilellablue]

[yellowjello42]

[marjnye1]

Thanks, for your reply. That is to bad

[marjnye1]

Hey Happy Cabbie; do you know what happened to David. dont remember his last name. He at first lived on the east coast then moved to CA. Every thing of his is down

[HappyCabbie]

@marjnye1 he removed all of his videos about a month ago. He hasn't really been active since 2008 and the last time I heard from him was during a Stickam broadcast in January of 2009

[ravenloonproductions]

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful expertise! You're beautiful!

[HappyCabbie]

@ravenloonproductions thank you so much. Just remember I have two other butterfly balloon designs and over 50 balloon figures and I will be uploading more. I also have plenty of halloween and thanksgiving designs already uploaded.

You should also look into uploading a profile picture. I will send my tutorial to you

[ilaha77]

OMG I m learning to make baloons for my 2 years old and Honestly u have the best baloon animals ever :)

PS: I rated ur video :P

[HappyCabbie]

@ilaha77 thank you so much

[TheBlueFalconX]

Every rate UP.

[trailrider125]

youtube pisses me off so much. I only got to watch half of this video because youtube stopped working

[mylovelydame21]

Ooooohh... butterfly. Lovely! First of your balloon videos I've seen and I'm quite impressed, my dear. :)

[HappyCabbie]

@mylovelydame21 thank you so much, if you could help out with the ratings that would be awesome

[mylovelydame21]

@HappyCabbie I shall do what I can, my dear. :)

[dsiegel21]

i have gotten a ton of butterfly requests the past couple years and up until i've been stumped. thank you so much for sharing this wonderful design.

[HappyCabbie]

@dsiegel21 I also have a much quicker design using a white round and two heart balloons. Be sure to watch that one to. It is much quicker and looks awesome.

[dsiegel21]

@HappyCabbie that one is pretty cool too. i need to order more heart balloons. btw, where do you get your white marker for the faces?

[HappyCabbie]

@dsiegel21 I use a Sharpie paint pen. You can pick them up at any art store. Elmers makes a set too but they are not as good and are too runny. Sharpie is the one to go with.

[PingeMusic]

Cool Love it. Regards and have a skilful life. Pinge

[HappyCabbie]

@PingeMusic thank you so much

[wsmith1973]

awesome video

[HappyCabbie]

@wsmith1973 I am glad you liked it

[supermariokoopa]

where the s*it is your indermidet butterfly vid

[HappyCabbie]

@supermariokoopa it got taken down but I will be redoing all 3 of them. I have a much better camera now. I will still leave this one up but I will be making a new updated one.

[TheXxxprotogirlxxx]

it exploded when i tired :O :P but WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[HappyCabbie]

@TheXxxprotogirlxxx see if you can get a hold of some Qualatex balloons, they are much stronger. Also let some air out before you tie into a knot. That helps to make the balloons softer

[anniepoonanie]

awesome butterly, but it'd be better if you weren't so close to the screen...

[HappyCabbie]

@anniepoonanie later this year I will be redoing these

[SuperPerfect10]

@anniepoonanie ..i agree..but i love the video

[TheEntertainer777]

Thank you for your information ! I am from germany and the markers are not available here ! We only have Edding markers :-(

[HappyCabbie]

@TheEntertainer777 I have heard good things about Eddies try them out.

[TheEntertainer777]

what kind of markers do you use for that great artwork ? The black and the white marker ! Please answer me ! Thank you !

[HappyCabbie]

@TheEntertainer777 I use Sharpie markers and the white is sa Sharpie paint pens. Elmers makes paint pens too but thy don't work as well. You can buy paint pens at any art store but the Sharpie ones are harder to find.

[TheEntertainer777]

The best butterfly I have ever seen ! Very very nice !!!!

[jonaira06]

most unique butterfly ballon I've seen so far...good job!

[HappyCabbie]

Thank you.

[AddicynsMom]

Sorry, no locusts please. I thought the tutorial was great, my only suggestion is that you move the camera out some so we can get a better view of what's being done. Thanks!

[HappyCabbie]

These earlier videos were done with just a webcam. Later in the year I plan on redoing all of my videos in HD and better sound.

[mizzDronjio]

very simple lesson...u are very good teacher! thx

[HappyCabbie]

thank you

[JRADproductions1]

are you a clown, or were you a clown at one point

[HappyCabbie]

no, sorry

[socialbunny20]

I just made this balloon without popping anything and I've only ever made a dog!!

Gonna use these for my wedding table balloon centrepieces, so thank you very much. I actually somehow managed to inflate the antennae too so they stick up.

Thanks Cabbie.

[HappyCabbie]

Good job

[socialbunny20]

And I made your rose bud one and stuck it to it, It's so cute.

[1coo1]

[Maritza11693]

All I can say is WOW! I am an intermediate twister who just happened to come across your video.

SENSATIONAL! I haven't seen this version before.

Love the boxed instructions. How ever did u do that?? Sorry I can't make it to Twist N' Shout but I am so happy 2 have found your work. I will definitely make u one of my favorites. I WILL be back!

[HappyCabbie]

Hey good to know. I also have two other butterfly balloons. My favorite is the one that uses two hearts and a 5 inch round. The boxed instructions are called annotations and yes I have a tutorial on that.

[BalloonMom]

Hi HappyCabbie, You've inspired me so much that I will eventually be doing some posting of my own. THANK YOU. I will be closing my You Tube Maritza11693 acct. I just opened a new one: BALLOONMOM.

Soon I will have a website under this name as well. My current one: FacePainterWithBalloons is just too darn long. I have subscribed to your videos & am looking forward to lots more postings. The butterfly will be part of my balloon sculpture for the birthday child tomorrow! THANKS!

[phatpenguin23]

Cool!

[HappyCabbie]

I am glad you liked it.

[Discoverbaby6]

ok ill keep that i mind o like you creations a lot they are very helpful

[HappyCabbie]

Thank you, sorry it took a month to reply, I must have missed it.

[Discoverbaby6]

no prob

[Discoverbaby6]

this one is very cool i never thought about making something that looks like this one im glad i found this so i can up grade on my butterflies thanks a lot

[HappyCabbie]

Don't forget I have a similar version that makes this butterfly out of just one balloon and another video were I make the wings out of hearts. I like the ones with the hearts the best.

[DingitDuck]

Awesome video Cabbie!

[HappyCabbie]

Thank you, when is the next DingitDuck balloon comming out?

[DingitDuck]

Not sure, I guess I could do one this weekend while I'm visiting my mother. I'm not sure what to do a video about. I don't have that many designs. I have a chain link tower, which is one of my oldest & wierdest designs. Or maybe I'll do a flower video, since I specialize in flowers

[HappyCabbie]

Just promise me you won't do a desk flower. (inside joke between us.)

[DingitDuck]

lol, perhaps I should have gotten batteries & used my good camera.

[HappyCabbie]

Well you can always reshoot and upload a new version of a video. I did that with my monkey and now I have to re-upload a version of my balloon flower because I messed it up using Audio Swap.

[DingitDuck]

I may reshoot, have to get batteries.
