How to make a balloon

Caution... Balloons are fun toys but can be dangerous. Please make sure no one puts them in their mouths. Supervision is recommended for younger children. If You See anyone put a blown up balloon in their mouth please warn them that it can be dangerous.

When twisting a balloon always start at the knot side. You must hold on to both ends of the balloon. The bubbles will not stay twisted by themselves until they are locked twisted together. Lock twist .. Hold onto two bubbles side by side and twist them around each others joints 3-4 times around . Now those bubbles will stay together. twist.. determine where you would like your bubble, pinch the balloon in that spot using your pointer finger and thumb now with your other fingers roll the other side of the balloon.


Basic Dog
1. Blow up balloon about half way.
2. Starting from the knot side. twist a 3-4 inch bubble twisting it 3 to 4 times to keep in place. You made the nose. Hold onto both sides, otherwise it will untwist. Don't worry it shouldn't pop. Why ? There is space at the other end of the balloon and the air will flow to it letting the balloon stay soft.

3. While holding onto the nose, twist another bubble about the same size, that is one ear. don't let go!
4.twist another bubble the same size. that is the other ear.
5. Holding the nose and other part of balloon, the ears will be side by side, lock/twist them together. Now they will stay together.
6. Now for the neck. pinch /twist a 2-3 inch bubble. make sure you hold on to it.
7.Front legs, twist another 3-4 inch bubble don't let go of the neck bubble. that's one leg.
8. twist another bubble the same size for the second leg.
9. Just like making the ears. Hold the neck and other part of the balloon together and the legs will be side by side. Now lock/twist them together.
    Yea your almost there....
10.Make a body by twisting a bubble, making sure you have enough room for the other legs.
11. Make the back legs the same as the front legs. The left over bubble is the tail
