and how do you inflate it exactly? |
|
| |
I guess it would have a little spout on the side of one of
the arms of the trefoil. This would just be a kid's balloon,
not for strength. |

carnival: [Italian carnevale, from Old Italian carnelevare,
Shrovetide : carne, meat (from Latin carÿ, carn-) + levare,
to remove (from Latin levÇre, to raise).] |

How are you going to make it?
<edit>I like the idea though</edit> |
|
| |
1. Cut both ends off a cylandrical balloon. |
|
| |
2. Tie cylander in a loose knot (the trefoil). |
|
| |
3. Tie ends of cylander together leaving a valve in one
end. |
|
| |
4. Blow up balloon making sure valve is on the inside of
the trefoil. |
|
| |
6. Walk around carny with lost look on your face as if you
can't figure out how you got a simple thing like a balloon
tied in a knot. |
