As we have left the globe not very tense, we can tighten the ribbon or the thread a little to mark well the pumpkin shape in the balloon and, when we finish, we should go around in the knot area of the balloon and make a knot with the tape to fix it, thus creating the stem of the pumpkin.

You only have to paint scary faces on each of the pumpkins, which you can do at the end or, before you start to place the tape but, in that case, you must wait until the ink is completely dry before placing the tape or the thread to avoid staining the balloon.

To continue explaining how to make a Halloween pumpkin with balloons, we will comment on the most elaborate way to make it, which is one of the most realistic ways to make it. For this, you will have to use long balloons . You will need, for each pumpkin that you want to make, two long orange balloons of size 260 and one of green color of size 160, in the shops specializing in parties you will find them without problems.

Inflate the three balloons without being full, the tips should be without air. Take one of the orange balloons and, depending on how big you want the pumpkin, squeeze it and turn it into sections of about 15 centimeters long, creating a chain. You will have to join each part one next to the other and rotate them between them so that the balloon is fixed with that shape and the air does not pass.

In each orange balloon you must make 4 parts, do not make the balloons separately, that is, start with one and when you only have one piece join it with the next orange balloon and continue doing the same process of placing them next to each other and turning them so that the air does not escape. If you have spare part of a balloon, you can hide it inside the pumpkin or, you can cut the balloon with your hands, turn the piece and cut it at a sufficient distance so you can make another knot.

Once you have the body of the pumpkin, take the long green balloon and on one of the tips make a bubble or small ball by turning the balloon. Make 4 bubbles and go interlacing them between them while you twist the balloon so that they are set side by side. Introduce the other end of the green balloon inside the pumpkin so that the small bubbles come out from the top of the pumpkin, with the rest of the green balloon around the small balls and place it in the center of these.

If you want a slightly long stem, it is advisable that you twist the balloon in a spiral, so that you get a slightly curled stem . If you have a balloon, cut it with your hands at a certain distance and then tie a knot. You just have to take a permanent black marker and paint the face of the pumpkins as you prefer.
