made in another video you’ll probably

made in another video you’ll probably remember in that project we used

remember in that project we used

remember in that project we used balloons and flour to make a batch of

balloons and flour to make a batch of

balloons and flour to make a batch of seamless superhero stress balls that are

seamless superhero stress balls that are customizable and fairly durable now

customizable and fairly durable now

customizable and fairly durable now we’ll be making our sky balls pretty

we’ll be making our sky balls pretty

we’ll be making our sky balls pretty much the same way but instead of flour

means the higher you can get them I spent two more hours and made eight

spent two more hours and made eight

spent two more hours and made eight different colored sky balls each with

different colored sky balls each with

different colored sky balls each with their own white jackets which kind of

make them really easy to handle now just

make them really easy to handle now just for fun let’s try using a handheld water

for fun let’s try using a handheld water

for fun let’s try using a handheld water balloon slingshot to see just how high

balloon slingshot to see just how high

balloon slingshot to see just how high we can get them before they open

we can get them before they open

we can get them before they open impressively you can see it does a

impressively you can see it does a

impressively you can see it does a pretty decent job I like this method

pretty decent job I like this method

pretty decent job I like this method because the slingshot is powerful and

because the slingshot is powerful and

because the slingshot is powerful and looks awesome and it really doesn’t take

looks awesome and it really doesn’t take

looks awesome and it really doesn’t take much effort to get the parachutes way

much effort to get the parachutes way

much effort to get the parachutes way into the sky but if you don’t have one

into the sky but if you don’t have one

into the sky but if you don’t have one remember the throwing the balls by hand

remember the throwing the balls by hand

remember the throwing the balls by hand can be just as fun as well now to pack

can be just as fun as well now to pack

can be just as fun as well now to pack our parachutes simply hold them at the

our parachutes simply hold them at the

our parachutes simply hold them at the top so you can pull the string straight

you wrap the strings in a cross pattern

you wrap the strings in a cross pattern it’ll add a slightly longer delay by the

it’ll add a slightly longer delay by the

it’ll add a slightly longer delay by the way you’ll probably notice your

way you’ll probably notice your

way you’ll probably notice your parachute opens a lot faster when the

parachute opens a lot faster when the

parachute opens a lot faster when the wind is blowing as opposed to when it’s

wind is blowing as opposed to when it’s

wind is blowing as opposed to when it’s calm outside so make sure you take that

calm outside so make sure you take that

calm outside so make sure you take that into account as well if you notice the
